The NEFA Foundation has obtained a newly-released video recording of a November 20, 2008 suicide truck bombing attack on a joint-U.S.-Afghan military base in the southeastern Afghan province of Khost. The video shows footage of the bomber—identified as "Qari Abu Omar”, a “patient man with experience in jihad”—as he assists in the preparation of nearly 3,000kg of explosives, his farewell

epic....


I wonder how many dead? I guess we can presume a bunch of American soldiers were in that building?
 
Next suicide bombing will be 5000 kg.

The biggest non-nuclear bomb with USA army is "MOAB" which weighs 9000 kg. "MOAB" can flatten an area of 150 meters in radius

You're way off dude. You can't compare whatever these terrorists are using with an FAE (fuel air explosive), which the MOAB (and Russian FOAB) is. And the MOAB doesn't "flatten an area of 150 meters in radius'. 150 meters IS its blast radius. It will flatten things far beyond its blast radius.
 
Holy shit.

It's so weird how the guy is so happy that he's going to his death.
 
I think it's more likely that was the compound of a political opposition leader in Afghanistan. US troops stay in US compounds is my understanding. That looked much more civilian.
 
Gezz....that guy looked so happy making the bomb. You'd think he was cutting licorice ropes. Then, when he's in the truck tapping his fingure so close to the detonator. That would make me feel rather uncomfortable as the camera guy. I'd be like, "Hey buddy, you're the one dying today. Step away from the detonator."
 
And he's using a Japanese truck or one which has Japanese writing on it. Haha so does that mean Japan supports terrorism? I can read the characters but it doesn't make sense. Maybe I can find out later.
 
Islam, the religion of peace.

Imagine the level of brainwashing that had to occur to get him into that condition.

The driver is normal by Middle East standards.

Another. Ever heard of someone throwing themselves on a grenade?
Same thing only bigger.
 
Don't analyze this in accordance to western propaganda about "crazy" Muslims who are only willing to do things like that due to religion. The fact is, this is the only method of retaliation and warfare availible to people who have been oppressed by foreign occupiers for quite some time.

Yes, religion plays a role as a cultural adhesive that binds these oppressed people together in their struggle against foreigners who have been occupying their lands. If China was occupying the United States under similar circumstances (killing civilians often, exploiting our resources, offending our cultural and religious norms) there would be a similar reaction.
 
HOLY CRAP that was a huge explosion. Don't you think a suicide was kind of pointless? With that kind of explosive power, the dumb bastard should have walked away a safe distance.
 
My thoughts exactly krazy, isn't that how our marines died in Lebanon back in '83. Just park a truck and run off.

That is by far the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. For several reasons...

A grenade is thrown by an enemy, an opposing force to kill his opponents. When someone jumps over a grenade to block the explosion, it is to save the life of his comrades from this act of hostility. It is sacrifice.

The suicide bomber is a murderer who murders others, usually innocents in the name of religion. Suicide bombing attacks have nearly 0 tactical or strategic value, they are designed to cause fear and to punish the innocent. This is just like the Nazi's did.

To say this is liking throwing oneself on a grenade is absurd and a bit psychotic.

Don't tell me what context I am analyzing in. I have been among these idiots, I take directly from them personal experience. You know nothing until you directly experience the massive hypocrisy of the Middle East. A totalitarian society which has no reverence for human life. To view this in the context of the terrorist murderer is to proclaim that you are like him. That you believe in his actions.

Anti American:
That is not insanity.

That's commitment to a cause that many in the softened west cannot comprehend.

To dismiss it as insanity is short sighted.
That is pure insanity. What person relishes the murder of innocent people? To dismiss this horror as a perception of westerners is far beyond short sighted, it is pathetic.


Anyone here wonder why Ron Paul did not win? Start with the pro-terrorist comments.

Wow, I'm batting a thousand today, first time I've been called anti American here.

Did Josh sell this board to Hannity?

Chosen: before you get all wound up in hysterics, look at what I wrote.

At no time did I make any moral judgment on the actions taken. I merely stated that dismissing it as "insanity" is short sighted.

To clarify: that to not comprehend what would make a person take such actions by simply dismissing it as "insane" is a recipe to lose, no matter how you define "winning" and that most westerners or Americans, could not even comprehend taking such a course of action, not because of some rock solid principles of the value of human life, but because they wouldn't put their ass on the line like that.

It is an arrogant take on an extraordinarily complex situation, unless you want to take the smart course of action and say:"they're all nuts, lets leave them be".

And then, before jumping on a moral high horse, you better take a long, cold, hard look in the mirror and start adding up the death toll of innocents that we have been responsible for.

Think about it - you are part of a society and religion in which a man can have 4 wives. This means the rich guys get the women and the poorer 50% of guys+ don't get any. A fast way to heaven could seem like an attractive alternative.
