Taleban 'aims to regain power' (BBC) (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/2897137.stm)A senior Taleban military commander has told the BBC that the Taleban hope to regain power in Afghanistan, with popular support.

Mullah Dadullah also said more attacks were being launched against the US-led forces in the country as war continues in Iraq.

It was the first interview to be given by a leader of the Taleban regime in Afghanistan since its collapse in December 2001.

But Mullah Dadullah offered to give a recorded interview to the BBC because he felt that rising anti-US sentiment in Afghanistan made it an appropriate time to challenge America.

A few weeks ago, former Taleban officials started issuing official statements by using emails and faxes.

Although he claimed to be somewhere in Afghanistan, he refused say exactly where or give any other contact details.Oh ... goody. Nothing brightens the day like Afghani guerillas.

:m:,
Tiassa :cool:

Lol i've been saying for ages but no one listens.
Ever since they left Afghanistan most of it remainined under the rule of the WarLords with the US Puppet, whilst belive it or not he really does seem to of made progress and trying to uphold the right ideals, unfortunatly having no Might except the US Bodygaurds and no support.
He has been attacked by the rival warlords and Al-Quieda alike and does not control the majority of Afghanistan which is still run as it was under Al-Queida, in fact the Warlords have re-recruited many of them themselves.
I said before the war on Afghanistan that after supporting OBL they were Idiots thinking using 6 Different Warlords would work this time as using only 1 last time failed.
They have launched a massive campaign back in Afghanistan co-inciding with the war on Iraq but to little avail so far.
With this as a benchmark, how do you think they will fare when they finish with Iraq, and the next country? At first i was afraid GWB was starting WWIII that would end only with the destruction of the entire world order into the US Favour (Of course taking Palestine and several middle east countries off the map - or the destruction and castration of America).
Now it seems this wont happen simply because America will fall flat on its face well before it can stretch itself that far, this only because of the Retarded administration in power and the resulting lack and disintergration of and form of International support, even the "Coallition of the willing" are getting jumpy about America's plans now that they have just got shafted re: the rebuilding of Iraq.
