200 Taliban fighters surrounded

[2pac Shakur]

Khan told The Associated Press that Mullah Dadullah, a close aide to Taliban supreme leader Mullah Omar, and other regional Taliban commanders were at the meeting when the village was surrounded. The security forces were still positioned around the village on Monday, he said.

"We are trying to get him to surrender and to arrest these Taliban without fighting," he said.

Abdul Hadi Khalid, the deputy interior minister for security, told a security commission in parliament on Monday that it was "possible that Mullah Dadullah is among" those who were attending the meeting. He said Afghan officials had demanded that the Taliban surrender or face military action. He did not mention any deadline for negotiations.

A Taliban spokesman in the south could not immediately be reached for comment. Khan said the Taliban fighters had gone into hiding in villagers' homes.

After a winter lull in violence, Afghan, NATO and U.S.-led forces have stepped up operations in recent weeks, hoping to pre-empt a feared spring offensive by militants that threatened the already shaky grip of President Hamid Karzai's government.

Killing or capturing Dadullah would be a major victory for the Afghan government and its foreign backers. A NATO airstrike killed senior Taliban commander Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Osmani in southern Helmand province in December.

Omar's whereabouts have remained a mystery ever since the U.S.-led invasion drove the Taliban from power in 2001.

Mullah Omar and Bin Laden - still free.
That's sweet that we punish all these people over 9/11, except the people we say actually did it.

[General Apathy]

maybe one of those 200 guys will know where Osama is

[2pac Shakur]

Maybe Bush knows where he is.

Know what the best way to catch Bin Laden is?


Have the CIA throw him to you.

It's comical how you define your set to be "those people involved with the Taliban and/or al qaeda that we haven't yet killed or captured", and then imply that we haven't been punishing the guilty parties.

Why, Yes, 2pac--I suppose when you specifically exclude all the people we have killed or captured that were involved with al qaeda and/or the Taliban, then we haven't punished the responsible parties.


By that same token, I guess we didn't beat Nazi Germany, either, because we never killed or captured Hitler. It's just tragic how we wasted all those lives we wasted fighting all those other Germans.

Weinerschnitzel. Hehehehe I like saying that.

If we didn't ever catch Hitler, you might have a point.

We didn't catch him, unless "we" are the Soviet Union. And they didn't catch him so much as put out his smoldering remains. IF those WERE his remains...

Let me put it another way...

Assume for a second the conspiracy theorists are right (or I should say your fellow conspiracy theorists) and Hitler was never caught. Would that change who won WWII?

Right. That's my point.

Why is it that letting the 2 main architects of 9/11 (according to the gummint) get away without punishment won't embolden the terrorists - but leaving Iraq will?

I don't know. You should ask someone who holds both those beliefs.

Well that is the point I am making when I bring up Bin Laden not being caught. Bush is constantly claiming we need to stay in Iraq because leaving will embolden the terrorists, while not going after Bin Laden. Apparently you and I see through the Bushi*. So you agree we should leave Iraq pronto?
