KABUL (Reuters) - Heavily armed Taliban fighters, appearing in a video purporting to show frontline militants in southern Afghanistan, have said the killing of Osama bin Laden will inspire them to continue fighting until all foreign troops have left the country.
"Even if the news of Osama bin Laden's martyrdom is true, it will not change our jihad policy ... if it is true that he is dead, it will give us more motivation to continue our jihad," one fighter said in Pashto on the video.
"The martyrdom of Osama bin Laden is not going to affect our strategy and it will not stop us from our goal," a second fighter said, looking straight into the camera. "We will continue with our jihad(holy war) and sacrifice against infidels until the judgment day and we will avenge our martyrs."
Bin Laden and the Taliban leadership, headed by Mullah Mohammad Omar, fled into neighboring Pakistan.
"Our holy Koran says that we have responsibility to our country and religion to defend and protect it. Even if one mujahedeen fighter is alive in Afghanistan, we'll continue our jihad under the leadership of His Excellency Amirullmomineen (Mullah Omar)," the bespectacled fighter said.

Every individual needs revolution, inner division, overthrow of the existing order, and renewal, but not by forcing them upon his neighbors under the hypocritical cloak of Christian love or the sense of social responsibility or any of the other beautiful euphemisms for unconscious urges to personal power (Jung, 1966:5).
It is under all circumstances an advantage to be in full possession of one's personality, otherwise the repressed elements will only crop up as a hindrance elsewhere, not just at some unimportant point, but at the very spot where we are most sensitive. If people can be educated to see the shadow-side of their nature clearly, it may be hoped that they will also learn to understand and love their fellow men better. A little less hypocrisy and a little more self-knowledge can only have good results in respect for our neighbor; for we are all too prone to transfer to our fellows the injustice and violence we inflict upon our own natures (Jung, 1966:par. 28

This is a true statement... but who armed him and who built this monster? If the media did not want to use those tapes as fodder to rally up the troops we would not have heard a peep from OBL. Think about it! TPTB only let you know what they want you to know.

How about the dozens and dozens of videos he released where he talks about killing all of us infidels?
How about his support for terrorist acts committed against us on camera?
That's all the proof I need to determine if he's bad or not.

What about your government announcing killing the terrorists (without a trial) - does that mean if someone decided America is a terrorist state, they can cluster bomb your children?
Yeah
Silly person.
