Seems like thheir working hard to get Osama bin hiden and Mullah Omar before the elections along with as much of the Taliban as possible. Might be less drastic than Obama wanting to invade Pah-keee-stahn and the Tahl-eeee-bahn.

That’s the way — take the war to them and they can’t move into Afghanistan. That’s the whole point of fighting OVER THERE, so we don’t have to defend against them OVER HERE.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this O’Bomber’s policy? Go after them inside Pakistan?

Actually if I remember correctly Obama said he’d go after Bin Laden in Pakistan if we had actionable intelligence of his exact whereabouts. Bubblehead Barak probably wouldn’t even consider Mehsud a ‘real’ terrorist as he didn’t have anything directly to do with 9/11.

We killed Taliban commander Mohammad Omar, 11 Taliban, and 8 AQ Arab/Central Asians. This is Baitullah’s stronghold, along with his brother’s assassination last night, it’s been a rough day.

Sorry, I should have explained, it was not Mullah Mohammad Omar, the Taliban Supreme Leader. We killed an operational commander with the same name. Still good news, should be in the media soon.
