My wife just yelled upstairs to me that NBC News reports that Mullah Omar, leader of the Taliban, has reportedly been killed.

Can anyone confirm?

What a lucky stiff. He'll be the envy of every Talib in Towel-land with that lovely, new martyrdom!

What do your guys think if we were to vaporize bin Laden (no need to dignify his given name), then how would the USA coalition absolutley know if he were "taken out" or arrested and brought to "justice," as W has demanded?

From what I have heard he was the least educated and dumbest of them all,

Probably hung out with Senator Wellstone in college ...

Good point, although I can't imagine a mud-brick bunker being all that tough to bust through! :)

Mullah Omar, leader of the Taliban, has reportedly been killed.

And it's one, two, three
That's what we're fightin' for.
Please ask me I DO give a d@mn
Next stop is Afghanistan
And its five, six, seven
Open up the Fiery Gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee, they're all gonna die.

What Country Joe meant to write.

Romans 12:19 "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord."

Are we going to see another OBL video, where he says "Mullah brought on this own death, because of Mullah's mideast policies. Allah see to it that he was killt, and we praise Allah for that!"

What made you think he qualified as "alive" to begin with?
The only thing that I can think of that caused him or any of is to be alive is that we are all children of God, even the bad ones amongst us. That does not mean he cannot meet his punishment.

Yeah, I bet they're REAL pissed about their final destination being somewhat warmer than the balmy temps of Paradise.

The Fabulous Mullah's dead? She was, what, WWF women's champion for like 30 years.

What?

Oops, wrong Mullah.

I see the problem here.

MSNBC was relying on exit polling to project that Mullah Omar was dead. However, new data suggests that it is now TOO CLOSE TO CALL.

Can anyone confirm?

A case of wishful and, as yet, unfulfilled thinking?

Dear Omar: We are very sorry for the recent deaths of your relatives. Services are scheduled for 9:00 pm this evening at your headquarters in Kandahar. With sympathy, your Taliban friends. No women will be invited, Down with the Great Satan, etc., etc.

Two down.... another twenty or so from the leadership and the Taliban goes to the "B" team managers. Perhaps bin Laden will come out of his hole to command a few field troops ... then again, perhaps he'll just keep in his hidey-hole.

Looks like now they are saying it wasn't Mullah Omar but two adult members of his family. ARGGGGGHHHHH!
