Taliban stranded on an island

by Jonn Lilyea••25

Reuters reports that several dozen Taliban fighters are stranded on an island in the Amu River between TurkeyTurkmenistan and Afghanistan. The Taliban deny that they’re stranded, but that’s pretty typical of them.

“They have no choice but to surrender or starve,” [a spokesman for Vice President General Abdul Rashid Dostum] said, adding that Afghan troops had not advanced so as not to enter Turkmenistan.

A Taliban spokesman denied its fighters were marooned, saying they were basing themselves on the Afghan side of the island to stage their fight against government forces.

Afghanistan’s vice president has been leading about 2,000 Afghan troops in the northern province of Jawzjan against the insurgents making a broad push across the north of the country.

Maybe they can send in Delta to “rescue” them, you know, since Delta seems to be in the area.

  2. Not to be a nit picker, but Afghanistan doesn’t actually border Turkey. It does, however, border Turkmenistan…

  3. To paraphrase one LtGen Ayers, USMC (ret), “I hope some one is HAMMERIN’ THE DOWG SHIT OUT OF THEM”.

    (picture a big man from Brooklyn with a HEAVY accent saying that).

  7. “You’re stranded.”

    “No we’re not!”

    “Yes you are.”

    “Not…not…not…not…not…not…not!

    (Makes me think of a Monty Python skit.)

  8. I would not use “DELTA” for this op. Being a Navy man, I would simply pretend the island is a ship and sink it!

  9. Oh, they’re stranded? There’s a sale on pork smoked sausage at the grocery, and they also have some nice, freshly ground mild Italian pork sausage. We could drop off a couple hundred pounds of that, with some bread and a frying pan and let them decide what they want to do.

  10. Sorry I can’t resist..

    Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
    A tale of a fateful trip.
    That started on an Afghan Shore
    Aboard this tiny Ship.

    The mate was rag-head stinky man
    The goat’s ass it was sore
    They wanted to shag ten of them
    but they did’t have not more,,,
    didn’t have no more

    The goats all started getting rough
    the tiny ship was tossed.
    If they weren’t stuck in goat asses
    the hadjis would be lost
    the hadjis would be lost

    The ship struck ground on the shore of this
    uncharted river Isle

    With Mohammed,,,
    The Hadjis too.
    The Clockmaker,,(his boy-wife)
    the Goat-fuckerrrr
    The Professor and Ali-Queef

    all on Taliban
    all on Taliban
    All on Taliban’s Isle!!!

  12. Wonder if the USAF has any napalm left in the inventory – and if it’s enough to cover the whole island?

    1. Or Tomahawks that sprayed napalm?

      Beats the hell out of sharks with frickin laser beams on their foreheads.

    2. You guys are far too conventional. Just drop a bunch of white phosphorus stuff in there, and follow with a few bunker busters. Maybe a few runs by the Hogs, too. People need to PRACTICE!

      1. Like I said earlier, let them use that island for Mortar Crew Target Practice, start by peppering it with HE and HE/ VT, then let them conclude the mission by “marking it” with good ‘ol Willy Pete!

  13. Just station some troops on the shoreline and let them starve to death. Nothing is too good for those 7th Century Sand Monkey Jihadist baby rapers

  15. Maybe Michelle Obama can start a social media trend like she did to solve the Boko Harum Hostage Situation. Benefit concerts, t-shirts, public service announcements. It has to work. They had USA For Africa back in the 1980s, and that wiped out hunger in Africa.
