Pakistan Aiding Taliban

Rupert Pupkin · #1 06-13-2010, 07:24 AM

A new report is slamming Pakistan for aiding the Taliban. The report says they are funding and training Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. Not only that, they are supplying them with weapons. This is absolutely amazing. The Pakistani government pretends they are fighting the Taliban while they are actually helping them.

I knew that there were some people in the Pakistani government that were sympathetic to the Taliban but this goes beyond what I would have expected.

Love this guy, story says he was arrested but for what? Are AK's and rocket launchers OK and pistols and swords outlawed? This guy was on a far more important trip than the two girls who wandered into N. Korea so where's his support?

An American armed with a pistol and a 40-inch sword was detained in northern Pakistan and told investigators he was on a solo mission to kill Osama bin Laden, a police officer said Tuesday.

"We initially laughed when he told us that he wanted to kill Osama bin Laden," said Khan. But he said when officers seized the pistol, the sword and night-vision equipment, "our suspicion grew."

When asked why he thought he had a chance of tracing bin Laden, Faulkner replied, "God is with me, and I am confident I will be successful in killing him," said Khan.

A Christian mujahid!

Wouldn't have minded had he succeeded.

Don't worry Dell: in the US, we allow foreigners to enter our country carrying pistols and swords, on a quest to kill terrorists hiding out here.

yea same thing

we have so many terrorists hiding out here

BTW we don't know whether he was arrested for the pistol and sword or for having a book with Christian verses and teachings AKA a Bible.

It appears he was arrested for ditching his minder and taking off on his own.

Antitrust32 · #12 06-15-2010, 11:48 AM

too bad he didnt succeed before being arrested.

I still say bin Laden is living the life of luxury in Saudi Arabia.

Danzig · #15 06-15-2010, 01:23 PM

Bin Laden is probably driving a cab in the sanctuary city of San Fransisco. Or maybe Pelosi's limo.
