Taliban Challenges Obama To Reject War On Terror And Work For Peace By WILLIAM MAYER and BEILA RABINOWITZ
Taliban spokesman, Qari Mohammad Yusuf Ahmadi, told the Afghan Islamic press located in Pakistan that, "We want him to change the policies of President Bush. He could end the years-long war by withdrawing U.S. and allied troops from Afghanistan." Ahmadi further stated that an Iraqi-like sure would not work in Afghanistan, "Even if a soldier is tied to every stone in Afghanistan, the West would not be able to produce a government of its choice in Afghanistan." On October 30, an al-Qaeda leader demanded that the Republican party must be "humiliated," in the presidential election, with Abu Yahya al-Libi offering the prayer, "O God, humiliate Bush and his party, O Lord of the Worlds, degrade and defy him." Yahya's sermon was delivered at a celebration of the Muslim feast, Eid al-Fitr. http://www.pipelinenews.org/index.cfm?page=talibanid=11.5.08%2Ehtm |
