Taliban invites Bush, Blair for a duel
Mon Nov 05 11:09:18 2001
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (UPI)-- Afghanistan's ruling Taliban militia on Monday proposed a duel among President George W. Bush, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and its leader the Fabulous Mullah Mohammad Omar.
"The Americans have launched propaganda that Mullah Omar has gone in hiding, so I will propose that Mr. Blair and Mr. Bush should take Kalashnikovs and come to a specified place where Mullah Omar will appear with the Kalashnikovs to determine as to who will run," Taliban Foreign Minister Maulvi Wakil Ahmed Mutawakil was quoted as saying by Iran's IRNA news agency.
"Mullah Omar changes places because of security," he said at the Taliban Foreign Ministry's Guest House in Kandahar.. "He effectively runs affairs of the government as in the past."
Mutawakil also reiterated the Taliban's claim that U.S. soldiers and "spies" had been arrested in Afghanistan, but he refused to provide details of the incidents.
Ruling out the possibility of any negotiated solution to the hostilities in Afghanistan, Mutawakil said the United States had closed doors for talks.
"After the American refusal to hold talks, now to whom we should talk to?" he asked.
He said the Taliban would welcome all volunteers, but said they were not needed until a ground battle began.
Since Oct. 7, U.S. planes have bombed Afghanistan in retaliation for the Taliban's refusal to hand over Osama bin Laden, the man Washington says masterminded the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington that killed some 5,000 people.
END
I think using each countries national sport as a theme would be better, for example Bush would use a baseball bat, Blair a Cricket bat and Omar a dead calf. Or at least M-4 and Enfields.
"Americans don't have the courage to come here," Mullah Mohammed Omar, leader of the Taliban
There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change; it is, 'To use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wounds, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.' Patton
