How does Qari Muhammed Yussef want you to vote?

Taliban urges next Canadian Prime Minister to pull troops out of Afghanistan
"The Taliban say they know that an election campaign is underway in Canada and that's why they have stepped up attacks against Canadians in Afghanistan.

Taliban spokesman Qari Muhammad Yussef said Tuesday the insurgent movement wants Canada's next prime minister to pull Canadian troops out of Afghanistan.

"Yes, I know that the election is being held in Canada. That is why our attacks on Canadians are increased," Yussef said through a translator.

"One of the Canadian soldiers, who has won a medal as well, was killed in our recent attacks.""

"Liberal Leader Stephane Dion responded: "We will not be intimidated by the Taliban."
And wonder of wonders, even Taliban Jack calls them out:

"NDP Leader Jack Layton said: "The suggestion that there's going to be violence meted out against Canadian soldiers to try and influence the election here is reprehensible."

"We'll decide our own policies right here in Canada with regard to the war in Afghanistan," he said."

Looks like the Greens are the only allies the Taliban have left. Good luck with that, Mr. Yussef.
