Ponsdorf sends this link from The Long War Journal<\/a> and Bill Roggio in regards to an Al Jazeera video in “Taliban occupy abandoned US outpost in Kunar”;<\/p>\n

A commander identified as Mullah Muhibullah claimed the Taliban will establish “a permanent base” there, swore allegiance to Mullah Omar, and said his forces will continue to attack US troops until they “reach the gates of America.”<\/p>\n

“We will have a permanent base here and we will maintain control of it,” Muhibullah told Al Jazeera. “As long as our commander, Mullah Omar, is alive and our guide, we will fight for him. The infidels failed to hold this outpost. Our jihad against American troops will continue, and one day we will reach the gates of America.”<\/p>\n

Another commander identified as Intiqam said the Taliban have imposed sharia, or Islamic law, in the area, and he twice denied any links to al Qaeda.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Funny how the same politicians who ridiculed the Bush Administration for not accomplishing much in Afghanistan are undertaking the same strategy.<\/p>\n
