Leatherneck Assault was for Harry, says Taliban
The assault that we mentioned last night, which claimed 2 Marines’ lives was the result of the media hype over Prince Harry’s assignment to Camp Bastion in southern Afghanistan, says Associated Press;
“We attacked that base because Prince Harry was also on it and so they can know our anger,” Taliban spokesman Qari Youssef Ahmadi said by telephone. He added, “Thousands more suicide attackers are ready to give up their lives for the sake of the Prophet.”
The Taliban also claimed that the attack was in response to the stupid video which caused attacks on US embassies in Libya, Egypt and Yemen this week.
Fox News Channel is reporting that 17 Taliban bodies were found inside the base perimeter this morning after the battle. So that’s a real good waste of resources by any measure.
Reuters reports;
“Prince Harry was never in any danger,” Martyn Crighton, a spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), said, adding that it would investigate whether his presence on the base had motivated the attack.
Britain’s Sky News said a Taliban commander had told the broadcaster that Prince Harry was main target of the attack. Sky’s Kabul correspondent said she checked with a Taliban spokesman, who said the attack on Bastion was indeed in revenge for the Islam film, but that Bastion was chosen as the target because Prince Harry was there.
Sky’s correspondent in Cairo said he had received a fresh statement from a “senior Taliban spokesman/commander”, saying that the confusion over the claims was because there were two Taliban groups attacking the base.
I would have thought that the war would be enough reason to assault the base and that the Taliban wouldn’t need a weak excuse like the video, but I guess I’d be wrong.

My prayers and thoughts go out to the families of the 2 Marines.
I hope they continue to attack bases, it just makes for more targets. I am concerned they got in side the fence so to say. Don’t know if they got into the inner perimeter or how many different layers of fence or lines of defence they penetrated.
If it will make them attack in mass the more the better, just make damn sure we can bring the farm on them once contact is made. Hell lets make card board cut outs of Harry and put him in a guard house or on the line to lure them in.
Question….do we even use claymores anymore?

Attacking military targets? Welcome to the 16th century Abdul.
“We attacked that base because Prince Harry was also on it and so they can know our anger,” Taliban spokesman Qari Youssef Ahmadi said.
Isn’t it time we let Ahmadi – and the rest of them – know OUR anger?
Yes, CarlS, yes, it is time.
I have a feeling that if the Taliban actually succeeded in harming or killing Harry, Britain might get a lot less multicultural in a hurry.
Al Qaeda is now calling for attacks on US embassies all around the world.
Meantime, the LiC is having a moment in the sun some place nice. Oh, and his half-brother George, who lives in squalor in Africa, was being discussed on the news this afternoon. (Crickets chirping.)
Note to al Queerda, At least Harry has to balls to be in the fight. Your high ranking ass-clowns are smoking hookahs and butt raping goats in splendor in Yemen or Pakistan.

I can only hope those “Thousands more suicide attackers are ready to give up their lives for the sake of the Prophet.” get their wish. I’ve always had respect for all human life and human rights but these “people” are proving themselves to not be human.
Yes, and Seal Team assault was for Osama, sez US.
Look who succeeded. And who failed.
What they need is A Real Mission…something that will bring them all together in one spot…all at the same time…
You know it is times like this that it makes me wish I was a ginger just so I could volunteer to be a Harry stand in and go to Leatherneck. Let them keep attacking the base at least they are attacking a hardened target.
Let me know if you do decide to go. I’ll send you a box of Preference by L’Oreal in Harry’s carrot-top color, and socks. And spam and a bottle of hot sauce.
