We could have bagged Mullah Omar and didn't? "It was revealed in the Oct. 22 edition of the New Yorker that the U.S. military had the chance to kill Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar on the first night of the attacks but legal questions stopped them from proceeding. A CIA-operated Predator with two anti-tank missiles spotted Omar's convoy leaving Kabul on the first night but the JAG officer on duty wasn't sure of the legality of killing Omar. 1901 GMT, 011015" stratfor.com

Haim; I'm taxed for words to express my horror at the depth of Islamic fanaticism and how perverse and wide spread it is even here in the U.S. How a minority within Islam can have so much influence and power over the rest I understand but I am still lost when it comes to finding the words to describe what it is that I understand. Except to say I'm not so dismayed that I cant "yet" describe it because I know such an evil would tax even the talents of Dante as well as Niven and Pournelle.. -------------------- There can't be a solution from outside Islam itself if the silent majority within Islam can't muster the fortitude to root out the KKK faction hiding within the robes of their own religion then all of Islam becomes Satan's tool of choice in this new age. The solution ( if there is to be one ) must come from within their own ranks. If it doesn't the whole of Islam is headed for Dante's inferno, which tragically will drag many others into hell with it. ---------------- So much is now stacked and balanced on a very unstable situation regarding India and Pakistan and with both having the ability to create a nuclear holocaust beyond their own stifled imaginations; this whole mess is just inches from spinning out of anyone's ability to mitigate the hostilities created by such people as Sheik Muhammad Al-Gamei'a -------------- Jim
