Yes..
Im sorry to say that Afghanistan has declared HOLY war apon the United States of America..
Yesterday I heard that large troop transports were being mobilized by the Pakistan boarder! (about 50 to 55 thousand Afghanistan soliders!)
Plus that alot of Pakistan civilians are joing them against America..
(Most of the Pakistan people is against America and the support Pakistan has announced twoards america..)
I heard a man from Pakistan speak on the news yesterday.. He said
"We will fight for Afghanistan and Usama.. We will **** america!"
Now Im sure Afghanistan wont surrender Usama..
Its a sad day.. Soon alot of people are gonna die!
:(

Yep, and most of them will be Afghans. Tough titty for them:)

Thus begins a long and bloody war. This is going to suck.
Out of curiosity, does anybody know if the PSX is legal or not in Afghanistan? I know that they banned the internet there.

Hmm.. I can feel the cowardness coming from Afghanistan..

I heard that they were thinking about maybe turning him over to a neutral muslim nation. Not to the U.S. though. I would think that it would be a better idea to avoid a war at all costs, so that might be a good idea for Afghanistan... and us.

I still believe Afghanistan is never going to surrender Osama, nor \'throw\' him to another country.
I don\'t quite get it - how can some of you speak so lightly of this deep, sad event wich is unfolding?
War is never something to joke about.
( am I too grave here then? )

I know what you mean, but people are acting as if its the end of the world. Please, stop these depressing topics. If war does happen, then it happens, but you don\'t need to dwell on these things... Morbid people...

Yes, you\'re right - I believe :)
Let\'s forget the whole war. Like Bush said: Go on with your business.

I know one way. Let\'s stop hijacking planes and ramming them into buildings.
-
hey quit it ! that was an act of revenge ! their must be a other way then us doing our own act of revenge
-
the afgani leaders are morons
the japanese were PETRIFIED after attacking Pearl Harbor
they PUBLICALLY admitted it was a mistake, and that they "awoke a sleeping giant"
the ENTIRE world except maybe pakistan is AGAINST afganistan, even china, the #1 communist nation.
sigh, hopefully this wont be another nagasaki/hiroshima
-
sight ! lets hope USA have all the proof before going there !
-
I don\'t give a rats patoot if he didn\'t do it. He admitted to the other two embassy bombings AND the attack on the Cole. We should have gotten this terrorist organization long ago.
But believe me, they have plenty of evidence. Event the stuff they have reported have been some very direct ties. Let alone the stuff they aren\'t reporting.
Don\'t worry JP, no one will try and attack Canada. heh.
-
They want to test American Resolve..?? HA.. I watched a speacial last night with some interviews a few months ago with some of Usmas people...
They think we are fat and not willing to stick up for what we beleive in.. Ha, yeah before, but they have awaken a giant.. The japanese learned this lesson.. Usma should have read his history books..
The people here are united, commited and strong willed. We are willing to sacrafice our lives to protect our rights.. Our rights to live free, our rights to liberty, and our rights to live the way we want.. He tested our resolve and now we will pass that test.. They are mistaken...
What makes me mad is they talk crap about the US.. How many humanitarian projects do they have going right now?? How many cures for diseases have they found? How do they better the lives for their people? They don\'t
Talk all the crap about the US we do alot for people.. We do alot for the world.. Don\'t get me wrong I do feel sorry for the Islamic people of Afganstan, they have a corupt government that takes full advantage of them..
But terrorism will find its days numbered....

If my geography is correct, Afganistan is a small country. This will be a short war. Although, I\'m probably wrong.
-
the afghanis hatred for the US stems from we give aid to ALL other countries EXCEPT them
i wonder why we dont
:(
-
I\'d enter the war but 15 year olds aren\'t allowed.

Remember,Vietnam is small also. It won`t be too easy. The Soviets had a tough time down there.

And once again Religon and war is connected to eachother. I hate religion!!!!!!! Holy war!!??!!! What kind of fu(king crap is that?

Let\'s forget the whole war. Like Bush said: Go on with your business.
I for one will not forget the war. I will NEVER forget this war, and I think it is a BAD, BAD, BAD idea to forget this war.

No sir, do not kid yourself, we tried other ways. Political sanctions, economical sanctions, etc. etc. It saddens and sickens me to think that you feel this way. How can you possibly think you can negotiate at this point? How can you negotiate with people willing to kill THOUSANDS of innocent people with a passenger plane? You MUST wake up, friend.
sight ! lets hope USA have all the proof before going there !
At this point, and in Osama bin Laden\'s case, I say F evidence. Even if someone COULD have been responsible, it is high time we took them out, and hard. NONE of these people should be tolerated, period.
None.
Make governments pay dearly for housing them.

Many of them, in fact, support that government. Although there is a civil war over there, the group striking back against the Taliban rulers is small, and resorts to the same tactics the Taliban itself uses.

The Afghan terrain has repulsed warring nations invading it for CENTURIES.
The Mongols tried it, the Russians tried it TWICE, both as one of the greatest nations in the world, years apart, not to mention countless other countries. The whole place is one big fort, thanks to the countryside. Rebels can strike, then fade into the mountains.
It will be a tough, long, gruelling fight.
We will win.

We used to all the time, until they started harboring our, and the world\'s enemies.
I don\'t mean this as an attack on you, jp6666, but you gotta grow up, son.
Understand that everything America does, short of war, has been done to these people as a result of their attackings. And as far as other countries that took a stand, well, no offense, but all they did was take America\'s lead on said retributions. And it has NOT worked, one iota. It is time for ALL of us to take a stand, because the point is, is that there are NO safe places.
Let me say this a little clearer.
THERE ARE NO SAFE PLACES, PEOPLE!!
That includes any flight you take, anytime you walk down a busy street in a major city, hell, it may be any time you turn on your computer. They might hire hackers for all we know!
I don\'t mean to sound like a poster child for American revenge every time I log into these boards lately, but, go d damm it, some people have their heads in the clouds.
If you had an uncle that you almost lost there, or knew someone who was killed there, I KNOW you would be singing a different tune, and if you wouldn\'t, shame on you.

I don\'t think this war will be that hard for us. Sure, they did beat Russia, but they had lots of outside help to do it. Now, they are surrounded by enemies, and barely have enough money to feed their army, to say nothing of outfitting it with the necessary weaponry to hope to stop us. The terrain is all they have going for them, and while mountains are tough, it\'s not nearly as hard as endless jungles and swamps.
-
and while mountains are tough, it\'s not nearly as hard as endless jungles and swamps.
You can drop a shi tload of Agent Orange on a jungle, man.
Whatchoo gonna do against a mountain?
And believe me, if you think these guys are broke, and that nobody will help them? Think again. These guys WILL have backing. Lots of it.

Jergin : i know i have my eyes wide open on but sides ... i just wish it did not have to come to that!

If it starts a huge war and i have to go fight for my Country (canada : very defensive country ) i will and will fight by the side of USA

People always talk about the terrain. Our military trains in terrain like this.
-
modern warfare...
Unlike the soviets we are not there for police action, we are there to blow sh!t up...
Don\'t forget about thermal imaging.. Infared, satelite recon...
I think the US ground and air forces can handle it..
-
can someone say Fat Man & Little Boy? How bout TOTAL NUCLEAR STRIKE. Ok, don\'t even think about that, but the terrain will only be nuissance to a well-trained Army. As Kirath implied, we now have the ability to fight much more efficiently at further distances. In the air AND on the ground.

Reports say that the terrorists have SCUD missles..
They are just like V1 and V2 missles right?
Bombing cities?

This has also been reported as false. Apparently they have no skud missles. Saw that a couple nights ago.

Ok.. Alot of false rumors going around.. :mad:
But SCUD missles are like V2 missles right?
Bomb cities..
-
Not sure what they are like, but as we saw in desert storm, they are pretty much worthless for any precise military objective. They are just bombs on rockets. I know nothing about this crap though.
-
i saw them practicing on tv. they will be utterly hopeless against american warfare technology. yep, a holy war has been declared on america. big deal. the us and its newfound alliance can make mincemeat out of them.
-
and more deaths ! does not matter american or islamic ! its more death and its sad
-
It\'s very sad, but I think these deaths will prevent not only other deaths, but other lives not having to fear death.
-
JP is right, you guys... death is not the answer.
We need to shoot all their extremities, then shatter their spinal cords with baseball bats. That way, we still accomplish our goal, and without having to kill anyone:)

The muslims say we are wrong for our religion. Should we change our religion for them? Our souls aren\'t worth that. They are just looking for an excuse to justify their attacks.
-
Perhaps forget it is a bad idea.
But being too eager, too impatient, is a bad idea also. Bush said America needs patience - and those are WISE words.
No need to rush it - it will come if it is to come. The more time America spends on investigating the attack, finding proof that Osama did it, plan the possible counter-attack, the faster the war will be over. If Bush would just have declared war the very same day the Attacks happened, and nuked the whole Afghanistan, there would\'ve been much more horrifying consequences...

These people aren\'t real muslims. They are freaks. DId you see that video of the terrorist dancing at what I assume is a wedding. Hmmm, he has no beard that you can grasp with your fist. He was dancing to music. Hmmm. These are things the Taliban is against. I just really find it hard that the Muslim religion doesn\'t allow a kid to fly a kite.
