Here we go again, from his hideout another statement by Mullah Omar

Taliban leader Mullah Omar says his fighters are winning the war in Afghanistan and that the Nato-led campaign has been "a complete failure".

In a rare and unusually detailed statement published in four languages, the elusive leader repeated his call for foreign forces to leave.

Nato has boosted its presence in Afghanistan to 150,000 soldiers in a bid to finally defeat militants.
Mullah Omar's statement, which marked the end of the Muslim festival of Ramadan, was posted on jihadist websites and relayed by the Site Intelligence Group.

It was published in four languages - English, Pashto, Dari and Urdu.

"The victory of our Islamic nation over the invading infidels is now imminent and the driving force behind this is the belief in the help of Allah and unity among ourselves," he said.

"In the time to come, we will try to establish an Islamic, independent, perfect and strong system."

He claimed that those behind the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan which overthrew the Taliban "admit themselves that all their strategies are nothing but a complete failure".


The BBC's Dawood Azami in Kabul says the message is an attempt to reach out to the public in the battle for "hearts and minds" in Afghanistan.

He has not been seen in public for years and is believed by many to be hiding in Pakistan, despite denials by Islamabad.

And what according to him is Victory??. If he feel that Taliban is victorious they would not be running like headless chickens when drones come calling.

Anyways, I don't understand what is the significance of this statement. Is this statement given by Omar on prodding from Pakistani Army or he did it on his own?. Let's see how this will pan out.

:emot0:

Perfect system with AK47s in hand & strong by bullying the locals.

Such statements are only meant to further piss off the Washington DC.

No one is winning the war as yet.

It remains a stalemate.

U.s.a may opt to pull out its army after capturing or killing major leaders or strategical places

Taliban is like protoplasm or a lizard's tail.

Killing leaders does not affect them. One goes, another emerges!
