Australia makes it to the big league - Jihad declared

[detop]

Sniff, sniff, ignored again.

When asked for the source of the information, the officer answered that he got it from Mullah Fazil, the executive director of Taliban Intelligence, who got it in a conference with Mullah Omar and Osama bin Laden. He described the upcoming attack as “having something to do with airplanes again” and offered reassurances that there were no plans to target Canada as “Canada and other non-Muslim countries have not committed acts of terrorism against Afghanistan.”

What would be considered an act of terrorism ? Sending them Stockwell Day ? Jean Chrétien ?

I think sending them over there would infringe the Geneva Convention’s prohibition on gas warfare.

We’re a small nation, here in New Zealand, but we are doing our bit.

It’s a bit rich for them to say now that if we respond to the mass murder of over 5000 people, that they might target us. It’s already happened."

Any subsequent action against the Taleban was a response to their actions, Mr Goff said.

“I don’t believe that any New Zealander would think that we should be cowed into doing nothing because of threats made against us if we took a stand against terrorism.”

I also note that Australian journalists were the ones essentially bleating out loud “Jihad?!Jihad?! You’re going to include us too, aren’t you? Don’t want to be left out, here …”
From the article linked in the OP

Answering Australian journalists, he said jihad applied to anyone who joined America in the war on Afghanistan.

Asked if that included Australians in Australia, he replied: “Yes, yes, yes, this is clear.”

Okay. If Aussie journos think it’s a REALLY big thing that Australia get mention on a “Jihad list”, fine.

Me, I just think it’s another excuse to scare the readers an’ viewers, and sell more ad spots.

The very cynical Ice Wolf from out east.

Since when hot air is considered a lethal gas ?

When it comes from despots and some journos.

Um… I think you mean or estemed PM Helen Clark.

Yeah, that’s the one I meant.

You have to admit it’s a bit funny watching our PM and our journos trawling around the world doing the “us too?” thing like begging dogs. Pathetic, but funny.
