Afghan Warlord: Prince Harry Is A 'Drunk Jackal' Killing Innocents

Gulbuddin Hekmatyar

Prince Harry Is A 'Jackal' Killing Innocents, Says Feared Afghanistan Warlord -- The Telegraph

One of Afghanistan's most feared warlords has launched a withering attack on Prince Harry, who has spent Christmas serving in the country, labelling the prince a 'jackal' who was 'drunk' while hunting innocent Afghans.

In a rare and exclusive interview with The Daily Telegraph Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who has been designated a global terrorist by the United States, heaped insults on the British Royal and vowed to kill as many troops as possible before the UK's withdrawal in 2014.

Speaking from an undisclosed location the warlord accused Britain of dragging "herself into this unjustified, useless but cruel conflict to please the White House. The British did not gain anything instead they lost blood and treasure."

"I do not understand how the British public accept their children being sent to certain death in order to please American generals.

My Comment: Spending the past few years avoiding drones is probably taking it's toll on Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. As for his interview with the Daily Telegraph from a mountain base (reported to be close to the Afghan/Pakistan border) .... my bet is that this interview was done in Pakistan .... and nowhere near the Afghan border.

Prince Harry Has Killed Taliban Fighters During His Tour In Afghanistan


Prince Harry Fires 100lb Hellfire Missile In Afghanistan Airstrike Attack On The Taliban -- Daily Mail

* Gunship co-pilot, 27, unleashed missile in October airstrike
* Apache unit has the highest ‘kill rate’ in the war

Apache co-pilot Prince Harry launched a missile attack on the Taliban in a devastating airstrike in Afghanistan.

The 27-year-old was called in to provide air support to troops and discharged a 100lb Hellfire missile.

The attack happened in late October, shortly after the prince returned to Afghanistan for his second tour of duty as gunship co-pilot.

Captain Harry Wales – as he is known in the Army – is a co-pilot gunner in the Apache unit which has the highest ‘kill rate’ in the war.

As the co-pilot gunner, Harry commands missions, fire the weapons, navigates and sometimes take over the controls.

The two-crew gunship – nicknamed the ‘flying tank’ – is used by UK forces in Afghanistan to smash the Taliban, gather intelligence and provide support for soldiers on the ground.

My Comment: I am surprised by all of this reporting. On his last tour in Afghanistan there was little if any coverage. What he should now be worried about is blow-back and stories like this one.

'Day In The Life' Of Prince William Showed More Than What The MoD Wanted To Show

The withdrawn pictures were re-released after sensitive information on computer screens visible in the background had been pixelated

Security Blunder Over RAF Photos Of William: Pictures Showing 'Day In The Life' Of Prince Pulled Over Security Fears -- Daily Mail

* St James' Palace release series of never-seen-before photographs
* Photos had to retracted after they showed confidential MoD information
* Pictures were re-released after apparently sensitive information was pixelated following the embarrassing blunder

The Ministry of Defence was yesterday forced to reset the user names and computer passwords of dozens of RAF staff following an embarrassing security blunder over pictures of Prince William.

Ten photographs of the future king in his role as a search and rescue helicopter pilot were published by St James’s Palace yesterday on the Duke’s website before being cleared by the MoD.

The pictures, taken by an RAF photographer, had been intended to show off a ‘day in the life’ of the prince on base as Flight Lieutenant Wales at RAF Valley on Anglesey, north Wales.

My Comment: Apparently the photos revealed passwords. What's my take .... this is more serious than the secrets that his brother has revealed.

Prince Harry Nicknamed Elvis By American Troops In Afghanistan



Viva Las Vegas! Prince Harry Nicknamed Elvis By American Troops In Afghanistan After Infamous Holiday Antics

Prince Harry's antics over the summer may not have gone down well with the Royal family. But at least he has given troops in Afghanistan something to smile about.

U.S. marines have nicknamed the prince 'Elvis' according to the Daily Star in light of the infamous holiday he spent in Las Vegas with friends.

The American soldiers have likened him to the legendary singer by giving him the nickname following the scandal in which Prince Harry was pictured naked as he partied at the Wynn Encore hotel earlier this year.

My Comment: He had a good time in Las Vegas .... so the Yanks are jealous.

Prince Harry Has Been Involved In "Multiple Engagements" With The Taliban Since His Tour IN Afghanistan Started



Prince Harry 'Operating Like Spitfire Pilot' As He Destroys Multiple Taliban Targets In Afghanistan -- The Telegraph

Prince Harry has been likened to a Second World War Spitfire pilot after being scrambled dozens of times to destroy Taliban targets during his first month in combat in Afghanistan.


The Apache helicopter pilot has had "multiple engagements" with the Taliban as he provides cover for British helicopters carrying out rescue missions to evacuate wounded soldiers.

The 28-year-old, who is known as Captain Wales in the Army, is part of a four-man team on standby 24 hours a day to provide cover for rescue missions and to destroy enemy targets.

A military source told The Sun: "Think World War Two Spitfire pilot and the Battle of Britain. He can be sat in a deckchair for hours then scrambled immediately.

"When in the air his role is diverse. This is no game and Harry is on the frontline of a terrifying war."

Prince Harry To Face 'Dressing Down' Over Las Vegas Photos



Prince Harry Faces 'Dressing Down' From Commanding Officer -- The Telegraph

Prince Harry is to face a “dressing down” by his commanding officer and is expected to be asked to donate his wages to charity after being pictured naked in Las Vegas, senior military sources have disclosed.

The Sunday Telegraph has learnt that Gen Sir David Richards, the Chief of the Defence Staff, has been involved in deciding how to deal with the embarrassment of the Army’s highest-profile officer cavorting with a naked girl during a game of “strip billiards”.

He has made clear that the head of the Army, Gen Sir Peter Wall, must decide what action should be taken over the Prince’s conduct.

Both men are understood to have been informed of the pictures while on holiday.

My Comment: What are they going to do .... take away his "drinking and partying privileges"? The way I see it, he wants to go back to Afghanistan, but his superiors are making it difficult for him to go. So he is pissed .... and what better place to go to unload his feelings than Las Vegas.

Update
: Oh oh ..... his girlfriend just dumped him.
