Top Taliban Leader Killed in Afghanistan
A top leader of the Taliban Islamist rebels has been killed along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Of course, al-Reuters runs this headline for the same story: Woman, Children Die in U.S. Attack on Taliban

I'll run with the Stars and Stripes version of events:
You know, shit tends to happen when you're married to an asshole.
A “high-level” commander of the insurgency in Afghanistan was killed in a firefight with U.S. forces along the rugged border with Pakistan, according to an Army announcement.Officials said Raz Mohammed, “implicated in many of the attacks against coalition forces in Paktika Province,” was killed alongside two other enemy fighters March 22 when Afghan and U.S. forces clashed with militants during a raid to capture Mohammed.
Mullah Hakim Latifi, a purported Taliban spokesman, in a satellite telephone conversation with The Associated Press from an undisclosed location said the clash occurred when U.S. troops surrounded the tents where Mohammed was living in Waza Khwa, an impoverished district on the Pakistani border.
He confirmed the death of Mohammed, who he said was a senior military commander in eastern Laghman province before the TalibanÂ’s ouster in 2001.
He said MohammedÂ’s wife and six of his children also were killed.
Latifi claimed that eight American soldiers died in the battle, but the American military said coalition forces suffered no casualties.

Good, they thinned the herd.
Killing his kids should be seen as pre-emptive strikes although I'm fairly certain at least one lefttard will see it as murder or some othe nonsense.
Tough shit for him and his family.

In the immortal words of..... WAIT- you'll have to guess (yes, vanity, but trust me- it'll be fun.)
"When the president or his spokesmen are asked about civilian casualties from
our bombing in Afghanistan, they should answer: "Yes, for the 30th straight day
Osama bin Laden, a mass murderer, has cloaked himself in a human blanket of
Afghan civilians. Unfortunately, this has led to some civilian deaths.""
Well- this dead Taliban leader decided to fight the Americans in close proximity to his family. Unfortunately this led to the death of his wife and children.

Awwww Poor terrorist's wife and kids were killed... That is sooooo horrible...
I am with you Snooksie! I hope they suffered. I hope our boys aimed for the guts and did not give this filth easy deaths.
Kill each and every terrorist and make sure to kill their families too. They are nothing but evil beasts not deserving of life.

His wife and children did not CHOOSE to have a terrorist husband/father. You fuckers make me sick.

Just to be clear, I'm not sorry the wife is dead but I am sorry about the kids. The wife chose to marry an asshole, the kids are the victims of her poor choice in sperm donors.
Much better would have been to pull and anti-Gandhi. You remember the movie? Where Gandhi makes the Hindu raise the children of the Muslim man who he had just murdered--but raise them as Muslims.
A fitting end would have been to send the kids to America to a good family. At 18 they join the Marines, get sent to Afghanistan, and blow the heads off their mujahidin cousins.

Dear simple Jimmy: The kids are but roaches that needed to be stomped on. Roaches spread filth.
You are very selective with picking your enemy. He was a terrorist. His filthy wife, was married to a terrorist. His filthy kids would have followed in their evil father's footsteps.
Or, is the dead guy in your mind, just a poor freedom fighter?

Jim, they knew he was a piece of shit. They should have gone and turned him in if they wanted a peaceful end to come to them. If not then they got what they wanted. "what did they want" you might ask. To die for their shit eating cause and have 72 virgins and allah and all of that other bull shit that they are brainwashed into believing. You are the "FUCKER" and you make me sick.

Considering the fact that he was Taliban, I doubt she chose to marry him. Either it was arranged or she was forced into it at a young age.
Funny you mention the kids growing up and fighting in afghanistan. I would like to think that if the children were still alive they would not have to fight in afghanistan when they reach 18 years of age. I would like to think that this madness would end before they reach the age of 18.
Unfortunately, it probably won't. And they will never be 18.
Anyone who celebrates the death of a child is a sick asshole. You don't know how it feels to lose a child. I hope you rot in hell.

Its amazing how much you all "know" about this family. Were you all close? Did you have dinner at the Mohammad's? Did you know how the children felt? NO. They could have been involved. They could not. Either way as I said before, whichever path they chose to take was dictated by Mohammad who deserved to die. His family didn't.

Jim,
I loathe you Liberals, but I agree with you that this kind of gloating goes too far, and doesn't do our side any favors.

I also hope I made it clear that I am not happy that the children are dead. This does not mean we didn't do the right thing in blowing shit-for-brains to Allah.

Just to let you know, Jim- I was not gloating about their deaths. I truly believe that it is unfortunate that they were killed IF they were just innocent bystanders in close proximity to the head of their household. However, I think the Reuters headline certainly was intended to fan the flames of Anti-American sentiment and will be used by the left to bludgeon our President and the Military as "baby-killers."
Of course, we still don't know if the wife and children were participating in the shootout. How do we know that the children killed were a 17 and 15 year old who were shooting Kalishnakovs at our troops.
In any case, gloating, I was not. (Some of these other sick bastards though? definitely glosting.)

Civilians and innocents have always been killed in war. Usually in greater numbers than military deaths. That's just the way it is. Maybe someday our technology will allow us to be able to diferentiate between the two, but that is not going to happen anytime soon. Until then, we,re just going to have to do the best we can. I would also like to point out that nobody in the press seems to be crying about the innocent people that Taliban POS killed. Or was he just some poor, misunderstood, victim of society?

REMF,
true enough. I'm not going to shed too many tears over collateral damage. There, I said it, collateral damage. I'm not ashamed to call it that. Like you said, this is war.
But I don't celebrate it either. The least we owe the innocent people that are killed is not to gloat over their deaths. If we can do little else for them, let it be that.

What a disgusting, vicious piece of fucking crap this is, who the hell do you arseholes think you are gloating because people are murdered?
The Taliban were supported and trained by the US for years, the mad Mullahs were welcomed in Washington by Bush and Rumsfeld one year before September 11th because they wanted oil and gas in Afghanistan.
Afghans and the Taliban had nothing to do with the bloody world trade centre - that was Saudi Arabians - and Bin Laden is still free while 6 million Afghans are starving.
What a bunch of savages you are.

George,
I must admit, half the fun is just watching you Leftists go apopleptic. And given that you're always on the wrong side of history, it guarantees we'll always have somebody to laugh at. It's so good to be a rightwinger.
Re "training" the Taliban. CRAP. We supported the mujahedin against the Soviets. When the Taliban came to power thanks to the Pakistanis, we tried to deal with them as we deal with any other government. They chose to go a different route by harboring Al-Qaida. So we bombed the crap out of them.
Re Saudis bombing the world trade center, we don't attack countries because some of their citizens are criminals or terrorists you dumbass. We attack countries whose governments which by their deeds have declared themselves our enemy. Is that too nuanced for you braniac?

George,
Your comments are lies. Plain and simple. The US didn't support the Taliban. The Taliban came on the scene in Afghanistan after the Soviets had left and US support had ended. We didn't support the Taliban once it achieved power, the Pakistanis did. In fact, the Taliban was an ISI creation. The Taliban sheltered Bin Laden, hosted his training camps and listed Bin Laden as their Minister of Defense in August of 2001.

The more we use bombs and violence on those people, the more they are going to hate us and want to return our favors.
Posted by: Collin Baber at March 27, 2005 01:36 AM (fufbw)

Collin,
they hated us before we started using bombs. Maybe after we use bombs at least they'll fear us (or they'll be dead).

Collin, that's an amusingly superficial comment.

Violence is a tool of the weak-minded. It also has a way of blowing back on those who use it - very simple. I recommend America's troops depart Afghanistan altogether.

>>>"I recommend America's troops depart Afghanistan altogether."
But wait, weren't you Lefties blaming America for "abandoning" Afghanistan after the mujahedin overthrew the Soviets? Why abandon them to chaos again? Perhaps you want another 20 years of chaos so you can blame America again?

Hi Carlos,
What would you recommend the United States do in Afghanistan? Ever wonder why we are there?

The traitor Colon Babler doesn't know why we are in Afghanistan. Well, that says it all.

I recommend we do exactly what we're already doing.
It's been 3 years, Collin. How much longer are you going to "wonder?" If you don't know why by now, you probably won't ever know.

I think Afghanistan has something to do with usufruct of energy markets and finding the remnants of Brigade 055, neither of which are worth the immense blood and treasure we are paying.

Collin,
Afghanistan isn't costing us that much. The Karzai government seems to be keeping the peace with the warlords all by himself. We got our Al-Qaida camps, and the Afghans got a future. Why does the Left always have to rain on everybody's parade?

Hi,
I'm guessing you're all American's but please do tell me if I'm wrong. This is not the first time IÂ’ve heard people discussing Afghanistan (and Iraq) and I would like to set the record straight once and for all. Firstly I would like to state that I am an Afghan. Although I was born there, I now live in England where I am currently studying my A-levels (I'm not sure what grade that would be) and thankfully doing well. I managed to escape Afghanistan 15 years ago however a lot of my family didn't and have consequently died in the hands of the Taliban. And let me get this straight, I abhor the Taliban. September the 11th was a monstrosity and should not have happened. There are many rumours going around that the US supported the Taliban, Sept 11 was planned by the American government etc. and personally I have no idea whether this is true or not.
But there are a couple of things IÂ’ve read here thatÂ… well sicken me. Really sicken me.
"Killed his wife and kids too? F-them. The fires of hell need fuel too you know. I hope they all suffered. "
I suppose this comment kind of shows the bullshit by itself.
“Just to be clear, I'm not sorry the wife is dead but I am sorry about the kids. The wife chose to marry an asshole, the kids are the victims of her poor choice in sperm donors.”
The wife probably was forced into her marriage.
“A fitting end would have been to send the kids to America to a good family. At 18 they join the Marines, get sent to Afghanistan, and blow the heads off their mujahidin cousins.”
The mujahidin are AGAINST the Taliban... whoever wrote this is ignorant and needs to learn before he or she talksÂ…
“72 virgins and allah and all of that other bull shit that they are brainwashed into believing.”
I am a Muslim. You have you're own beliefs. I respect whatever you are. Respect my faith in return.
“WHAT MAKES THE GREEN GRASS GROW?.......BLOOD!!! RED, RED BLOOD MAKES THE GREEN GRASS GROW DRILL SERGEANT!!!!!!”
Yet again, this is totally REVOLTING.
What do you people think you are doing by making these sorts of comments? This is what generates the hate that causes future wars. Let the hatred stop here.

It sounds to me like you are in some way "sticking up" for your Hajis' in Arms. A lot of these comments hold true in the retrospecte that kids in Iraq and Afghanistan are nothing more than little terrorists. These little terrorists' carry out their operations in the form of stealing soldiers equipment, making scetches of US/Coalition Operating bases and the children approach soldiers while on patrol and attempt to stab them with injection needles (God (or Allah) only knows where they've been...I don't want anyone else to be offended). The fact of the matter is that I know enough about Afghanistan now to be able to call BS on some of Mursal shinanigans. When a woman is "forced" to get married to a man, the male members in that womans family has the power to prevent the ceremony from taking place. But that is on the brides family. Maybe they want her to marry into her future husbands business...Terrorism Inc. Back to the children and young people. If you are getting all bent out of shape over the loss of "innocent" women and children, don't waste your time. I'm not sure anyone told you or not, but I will let you in on a little secret....war is a dirty business; it has been for thousands of years. Don't think for one second that I'm some liquired-up hillbilly popping off at the mouth. I'm about to do my 7th tour in Afghanistan and Iraq with a Special operations force. I've seen good Afghan men and women. My patrol partner and I were the best of friends (he was Afghani) and I would lay down my life for him. Unfortunately, he did the same for another US soldier. War is a dirty business with no real dividends to cash in when it's all over except poverty and despair.
