Music to liberals’ ears….
Taliban commander threatens Canada for role in Afghanistan
Mike Blanchfield, CanWest News Service; Ottawa Citizen
Published: Friday, June 02, 2006OTTAWA—An elusive, one-legged Taliban commander has threatened to “wreak vengeance” upon Canadian troops in Afghanistan if they don’t withdraw, according to a new translation of a recent interview with the commander by an Arab satellite network.
“America now wants to avoid the heat of battle, so it pushes other countries towards it,” Mullah Dadullah is reported to have said in a translation released Thursday by the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute.
“Our advice to Canada and Britain is to refrain from defending the American propaganda and from standing by this historic American crime … Our advice to these countries is to avoid the heat of battle, because we will wreak vengeance upon them, one by one, like we are doing with the Americans.”
Dadullah recently conducted the interview with an Al-Jazeera reporter and it initially aired on the Qatar-based network last weekend, but it wasn’t until the institute posted an English translation of excerpts of the interview Thursday that the threats against Canada emerged.
It is not the first time that Canada has been threatened directly by al-Qaida or the Taliban. Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden first pointed the finger directly at Canada in 2002 as a target of his terrorist group for its support of the U.S.-led war on terrorism.
Many Canadians liberals agreed with Bin Laden. Jim Travers of the leftist Toronto Star calls this “George W. Bush’s war”. Canada’s state-run media, the CBC has been known to call it “the ‘so-called’ war on terror”. For more such examples, open any mainstream Canadian media newspaper, or turn on the TV in Canada. Any day, any time.
“Our main enemy is the United States. As for Canada and the other countries, we have no historical enmity with them. But if they want to come here as fighting forces, we will view them just as we view the Americans, and we will conduct resistance against them.
“But if they return to where they came from and withdraw their forces from here, we will not view them like the Americans, but as countries which we have nothing to do with.”
Many liberals would like us to join with al-Qaida and the Taliban in “having nothing to do with the U.S.” as the terrorists continue the terror war they launched against the U.S. and the west; and as the terrorists seek to destroy the U.S. and convert the west to an Islamofascist community just like they had in Afghanistan and Iraq and still have in Syria and Iran and other delightful places.
Liberals are in favor of that.
Vote liberal.
