TORA BORA (Institute for Islamic Studies and Research): During the last week, the Hamza Al-Ghamidi unit in the Tora Bora region has shot down four American warplanes and killed approximately 140 US Special Forces soldiers in a series of daily, multiple ambushes. Having withdrawn from parts of Tora Bora about ten days ago, the Mujahideen split up into small units in order to engage US Paratroopers that had dropped in the region in order to search its caves. Due to the cowardly nature of the American troops, they dropped 'Hummvee' jeeps and armoured vehicles with the soldiers. In a series of well-planned, multiple daily ambushes, the Hamza Al-Ghamidi unit attacked several bases and units of the Crusaders, killing approximately 140 of them. For the hypocrites and those with diseased hearts, such a figure is difficult to expect. However, in comparison with Mujahideen ambushes in Chechnya, a figure of 20 soldiers killed per day in multiple attacks, is actually quite small. It should be larger, but where it has not been possible to determine enemy dead, a lower figure has been given. The question arises, do the Mujahideen go round and count each dead body to arrive at these figures? The answer is that some dead bodies are clearly left behind and counted, whilst others are estimated from the number of destroyed vehicles. For example, if a Hummvee jeep with a normal capactiy of eight troops is destroyed and burnt to the shell, one can be confident that all eight troops on board were killed. As for the four warplanes, they were shot down using ordinary Anti-Aircraft weapons.
This report refutes the false claims by the World's media that the war is over in North East Afghanistan. Rather, it is proof that the promised guerilla war by the Mujahideen has begun and time will tell who was lying and who was speaking the truth.
There are no Chechen Mujahideen in Tora Bora, as has been repeatedly claimed by the Crusader media, that there are 200 of them. At no stage during the fighting in Tora Bora have there been any Chechen Mujahideen. These claims are made by the media in cheap attempts to 'incriminate' the Chechens as terrorists linked to Usama Bin Ladin, whom it is worthy to fight and kill.
Actually, it looks like someone is feebly attempting to distance themselves from OBL at the same time as pump out porpaganda...
This might not be the same outlet, but I swear its true. I will find and post a link or text.
And here's another gem from the indispensable Middle East Media and Research Institute:
Joining the attacks on Giuliani were columnists in the Palestinian Authority mouthpiece Al-Hayat Al-Jadida. Editor Hafez Al-Barghouthi wrote: "New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani was obsessed by his hatred of Arabs even before the terrorist attacks on New York. He hides his first name, chosen for him by his Italian father, so as not to remind the Jewish voters of the infamous Rudolph Hitler [sic]. This is why he prefers to shorten it to Rudy."
Al-Barghouthi must've been thinking of Adolf, the Red-Nosed Fuehrer.
I kinda like this graphic from the qoqaz website. Really sums up Christianity nicely -- The blood of (the Jew) Jesus saving the people.
This "news outlet" was founded by "A Palestinian who revived the Jihad in the 20th century."
I'm waiting for the reports saying that they've been shooting down F-100 Super Sabres and our top of the line transport, the C-97.
I can't determine the link
Regards,
Actually, you are wrong. It's twelve trillion planes they shot down and the eleventy-skadillion Special Ops troops they killed with their bare hands.
Perhaps I am arguing semantics, but hey, I am a stickler for detail.
"Today, American fighters bombed three Iraqi radar installations. The fighters returned safely."
"Iraqi sources claim their anti air craft gunners shot down 20 fighters and destroyed a carrier, killing all aboard."
