Worst Job In The World

Is there such a thing as a retired Taliban leader? I don’t think so. How about a former one who is all in one piece? Don’t think so either. It’s amazing any of them last a year.

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) has released the name of the Taliban leader killed by Australian soldiers in Afghanistan.

Mullah Abdul Rasheed was killed by the Special Task Group (SOTG) during a recent operation in Oruzgan province. Rasheed was involved with the importation of foreign fighters, Improvised Explosive Device (IED) experts and potential suicide bombers, the ADF said. Defence believe he was also responsible for the rocket attack that killed Private Gregory Sher last weekend.

Chief of joint operations, Lieutenant General Mark Evans, described Rasheed as a “significant Taliban leader”.

No word on whether this smoking grease stain was involved in the public morality campaign posted about earlier. Still, that’s one less shiny happy towelhead chief.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
