ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (Reuters) - The supreme leader of the ousted Taliban, Mullah Mohammad Omar, urged Afghans to unite against U.S.-led foreign forces on their soil, a Pakistan-based Afghan news service reported Sunday.

Omar, in his message ahead of Eid-ul Fitr which marks the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, said promises of democracy and reconstruction made two years ago in Afghanistan (news - web sites) were yet to be fulfilled, Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) said.

"Now the U.S.-backed system is two years old. Where is the democracy, freedom, human rights and reconstruction?" Taliban spokesman Hamid Agha quoted Omar as saying in a message delivered to some Pakistani newspapers.

AIP said a few newspaper offices in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar had received the one-page message in the Pashto language.

1. I guess that since

bin Laden "voluntarily retired" and is unimportant, the Mullah Omar has stepped to the plate.

The entire agenda of this mal-administration is a bad nasty joke. :mad:

[underpants]

2. Actually I think was right on this one...he is "dead or alive"

everyone is.

Looking back that was the first big incident we saw of the double speak of plauible deniability that Rove has W say. He says one thing that purposefully implies something and when called on it the punditriat can say that he didn't actually say it. Snicker snicker snicker....

Dispicable.

3. Actually he WAS captured in December 2001*

One of our first big coups in Afghanistan. Remember?

* As reported by the Times of London and AFP. Google "Mullah Omar captured"

8. That reflects just how unreliable

Rupert Murdoch's Times is.

Next your going to be citing Fox News as proof that Congressional Democrats are truly six-toed spawn of Satan.

4. I wanted to revisit this thread. This line keeps going through my head

"Now the U.S.-backed system is two years old. Where is the democracy, freedom, human rights and reconstruction?" Taliban spokesman Hamid Agha quoted Omar as saying in a message delivered to some Pakistani newspapers."

OH THE IRONY! The Taliban spokesman!!!

Ozymandius
I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed,
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandius, King of Kings:
Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
--Percy Bysshe Shelley

6. Thanks for the poem -

Shelley is my favorite and in my opinion "The Cloud" is his best.
