Taliban's top military commander captured

[Hot Mega]

ISLAMABAD – The Taliban's top military commander has been arrested in a joint CIA-Pakistani operation in Pakistan in a major victory against the insurgents as U.S. troops push into their heartland in southern Afghanistan, officials said Tuesday.

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the group's No. 2 leader behind Afghan Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar and a close associate of Osama bin Laden, was captured in the southern Pakistani port city of Karachi, two Pakistani intelligence officers and a senior U.S. official said.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release such sensitive information.

One Pakistani officer said Baradar was arrested 10 days ago with the assistance of the United States and "was talking" to his interrogators.
Baradar is the most senior Afghan Taliban leader arrested since the beginning of the Afghan war in 2001 following the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States.

His capture represents a significant success for the administration of President Barack Obama, which has vowed to kill or seize Taliban and al-Qaida leaders in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It follows the ramping up of CIA missile strikes against militant targets along the border between the two countries that have reportedly killed many midlevel commanders.

Why? He's a member of the Taliban..he's committed no crime on US soil. But I haven't heard the case against why Moussoui was tried without problem on US soil, Richard Reid or any of the others....

WoW! How biased! He was captured with a mutual co-operation of US and Pak, why is only barack obama credited for this???

 

[PirateKing]

Only took 8 years...Its not Osama but hey its still pretty significant.

It's his new strategy maybe?:dunno: Which includes btw, the enlisting of Pakistan in the effort by tying our aid to them in exchange for their cooperation and assistance.

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

I love how they say "was talking".

 

[Rey C.]

I wonder if Pete Sessions (R-TX) is sad today, because one of his Taliban soul brothers has been taken down? :1orglaugh

 

[316sherm]

I think they'll never get Bin Laden

 

[habo9]

I think they'll never get Bin Laden

They could get him if they really wanted to

 

[glock27]

Out-fucking-standing, soldiers!

I think they'll never get Bin Laden

That is because Bin Laden has been dead since 2003.

Capture one, create another.

Exactly, ten more for that matter since the western oriented culture of people refuse to procreate these days. How about that ? we don't have any children, yet we're still going bankrupt !



Aside - So, why are we still at war with the taliban anyway, to keep them from further advancing on the Paki ICBM cache ? Sounds like a good idea to me. If not that, are we at war in Afghanistan
to secure our share of.. or our governments share, more appropriately, of loot out of the poppy fields, what ? :dunno:

 

[HELLRAISER]

What Bush failed to do in 8 years Obama was able to accomplish this in about a year, wow that's impressive. Good thing McCain isn't Commander in Chief becoz it would have taken him at least a hundred years of wasting taxpayers money to fight the war on terror
