Top Taliban Commander Killed in Fighting (Another One Bites The Dust)

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) - The Taliban's most prominent military commander, a one-legged fighter who orchestrated an ethnic massacre and a rash of beheadings, was killed in a U.S.-led military operation in southern Afghanistan, officials said Sunday.

Mullah Dadullah, a top lieutenant of Taliban leader Mullah Omar, was killed Saturday in the southern province of Helmand, said Said Ansari, the spokesman for Afghanistan's intelligence service. NATO confirmed his death, calling it "a serious blow" to the insurgency.

Dadullah is one of the highest-ranking Taliban leaders killed since the fall of the hard-line regime following the U.S.-led invasion in 2001. His death represents a major victory for the Afghan government and the international coalition that has struggled to contain a Taliban-led insurgency wracking the south and east of the country.

"Mullah Dadullah was the backbone of the Taliban," said Asadullah Khalid, governor of the former Taliban stronghold of Kandahar. "He was a brutal and cruel commander who killed and beheaded Afghan civilians."

Khalid showed Dadullah's body to reporters at a news conference in the governor's compound. An Associated Press reporter said the body, lying on a bed and dressed in a traditional Afghan robe, had no left leg and three bullet wounds: one to the back of the head and two to the stomach.

No doubt the Nancy woman is going to be complaining that this sends an erroneous signal to the Afghan people ~ she really wanted her friends in the Taliban to win.

They should have let the cameras in after they positioned
his head on his chest. That would have been a fitting end
to this POS.

There will be an indefinite supply of replacements for this turd

We need to target the money men in Saudi and elsewhere who provide the funding for these jokers, those who fund the radical madrassahs that train them, and who support the radical imams who exhort teenagers to become jihadis

Wasn’t Pelosi planning to meet with him to explain that the Democrats have a different foreign policy, more benign and understanding, than Bush?

No, there needs to come a day when the President says "I'm gonna take care of all the family business". The Barzinis of Riyadh must be dealt with

Too bad Dubya’ troops had to do it on a borrow dime since Nancy.P has failed in her duty to fund CentCom’s Afghan theatre of operations in timely manner.
