Hopping Mad

OTTAWA —An elusive, one-legged Taliban commander has threatened to “wreak vengeance” upon Canadian troops in Afghanistan if they don’t withdraw, according to a new translation of a recent interview with the commander by an Arab satellite network.

“America now wants to avoid the heat of battle, so it pushes other countries towards it,” Mullah Dadullah is reported to have said in a translation released Thursday by the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute.

“Our advice to Canada and Britain is to refrain from defending the American propaganda and from standing by this historic American crime … Our advice to these countries is to avoid the heat of battle, because we will wreak vengeance upon them, one by one, like we are doing with the Americans.”

Dear Mullah Dad-ully-O,

I can understand why you’re so twisted and bitter. It’s your name, isn’t it? I can only imagine the torments you had to endure at recess. “Mullah Da-DULL-ah, MULE-ah Da-DOLL-ah!” Kids can be cruel like that.

Now, those guys you’re complaining about? They’re called the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. You can read about them here.

They’ve been to many exciting places like Passchendaele, the Somme, Normandy, Kapyong and Ortona; met many interesting foreign people; and killed them. You could ask the German 3rd Parachute Regiment about that.

See, when you’re called the Princess Patricias, you learn how to fight early, and well (ref. above: kids, cruelty).

And since you’ve got to get through them to get at me, let me just say in conclusion,

NANNY NANNY BOO BOO!

Sincerely,

Read all about it at the ASI. You can “celebrate” the day or inform your politicians of your distaste for it via the Tax Freedom Day E-card.

Iain Dale shares his thoughts on the day.

While you are doing that you can listen to my band’s track Cry Freedom.
