WASHINGTON -- As U.S. warplanes pounded the Afghan capital of Kabul yesterday during the fifth straight day of bombing, Pentagon officials reported that airstrikes had devastated mountain cave complexes and may have struck Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar's Chevrolet Suburban with several as yet unidentified individuals inside.

The US bombed so close to target that Mullah Omar's beard was set on fire.

The reports, written by U.N. personnel in Afghanistan, say such mass killings were ordered or approved by Omar. U.N. officials who investigated a series of massacres of at least 178 people in January in the Yakaolang district of north-central Afghanistan said they had found witnesses to radio conversations between Omar and the teams of Taliban soldiers conducting the killings.

No problem. Muslims can kill muslims wholesale. But let a Jew (Israel and PA territory, Lebanon,etc.) or Christian (Bosnia, Kosovo) kill a Muslim and there will be hell to pay.

That is the truth! When the Palestinians tried to riot in Jordan they were shot and no one let out a peep!

either they are playing stupid, or they are overrated

I heard on one of the news reports that they lost about 1 million people and killed about 15,000 Soviet troops in their victory over Soviet aggression. I don't know if I could handle many victories like that.

FoxNews has been reporting today, just recently on the Special Report (Brit Hume's) about the missed mullah opportunity nixed by a JAG (lawyer). Reportedly Rumsfeld was so angry he physically threw chairs and busted a door or two. When questioned about it Rumsfeld did not deny the reports which are going to be reported by a major magazine (?).

Supposedly this has prompted a change of procedure and that now, these deciions are going to be made from the top (as in POTUS).

Has anyone heard of this and have more information on this?
