Taliban warn of long guerrilla war.
We will retreat to the mountains and begin a long guerrilla war to reclaim our pure land from infidels and free our country again like we did against the Soviets... The Americans are creatures of comfort. They will not be able to sustain the harsh conditions that await them... Afghanistan will prove to be the graveyard of the Americans.
- Mujahideen commander Maulvi Jalaluddin Haqqani, the commander-in-chief of the Taliban's southern military command - akin to the Taliban army chief - and Mullah Omar's top military strategist and commander.
