LONDON: Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar warned Thursday of a "big" plan to destroy the United States which could happen within a short period of time, according to an interview on BBC radio.
In the interview, conducted in Pashto for BBC World Service radio, he also refused any cooperation with the formation of a new broad-based government in Kabul. "The current situation of Afghanistan is related to a big cause -- that is the destruction of America," he added.
"The plan is going ahead and God willing it is being implemented, but it is a huge task beyond the will and comprehension of human beings. "If God's help is with us this will happen within a short period of time." "Keep in mind this prediction." He said the Taliban preferred death to taking part in what would be an evil government, saying the struggle for a broad-based regime had been going on for 20 years and nothing had come of it.
Asked about sweeping gains by opposition forces, which have seen them take the Afghan capital Kabul and a swathe of the north of the country, he said the Taliban still held their southern stronghold of Kandahar. He also said it was unimportant how many provinces fell, as territory lost could be regained. - AFP
This raises the question, "You and what army?"
A big plan... yeah that's it a big plan."
substitute Nuke for army......IF they have one that would be bad
I think we have to get him or bin Laden alive and have a nice chat over tea. We had better get any details of nuclear plots fast.
Last night an author close to Washington was being interviewed, and she indicated the administration is taking the nuclear threat very seriously, even though they do not have a lot of specific information. After all, how much more serious do you have to be than to have the VP in a protected area 99% of the time for 2 months now?
I blame Clinton totally. he was fiddling with The First Fiddle while Osama plotted to burn Washington. What a waste of skin!
Our enemies didn't have nukes in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War or World War II.
On the run, Taliban vows to destroy America

London, November 15: Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar warned of a "big" plan to destroy the United States which could happen within a short period of time, according to an interview on BBC radio.
"The plan is going ahead and god willing it is being implemented, but it is a huge task beyond the will and comprehension of human beings.
"If god's help is with us this will happen within a short period of time."
You mean suspended over a giant cauldron of tea, lowered just a bit each time he doesn't talk? ;-)
They have who knows what kind of nukes somewhere.
Round 'em up, tribunal them, execute them, deport those not involved.
Under no circumstances let even a single one stay.
Kiss My Royal American Ass !!!
Kind of reminds me of Stalin's attempt to have psychics divert the location of an atomic blast.
As long as any plan requires God's intervention I will feel safe.
Including the evidently aired ONCE (then scheduled reairings were reportedly canceled) report by the BBC video crew of amphibious training of Mainland China PLA soldiers. Persistently the BBC crew members would ask individuals near them what they were practicing for--expecting "the Taiwan invasion" to be the answer. Only the answer was ALWAYS: "To invade the USA!"
But we all KNOW that there are NO valid conspiracy theories.
We all KNOW life shall go on as it always has.
We all KNOW Bimbo Crusher couldn't have been THAT much of a traitor.
We all KNOW globalism is just a silly urban legend.
We all KNOW that anyone who thinks otherwise is awash in a sea of tinfoil hats. . . and rightly so.
Right?
