Ursa Majoris Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Taliban leader killed by CIA Predator drone. Pakistan's Taliban chief was killed by a CIA missile strike, a militant commander confirmed Friday -- a severe blow to extremists threatening the stability of this nuclear-armed nation and a possible boost to U.S.-Pakistani cooperation in fighting insurgents who wreak havoc along the Afghan border.

jaxfactor Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Normally I'd cheer with you, Ursa, but they'll just put some other psycho laundryhead in his place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Normally I'd cheer with you, Ursa, but they'll just put some other psycho laundryhead in his place. Then what is the point of even fighting them ? This is good news. Yes, they can replace him but when one of their leaders gets blown to bits it is sure to get their attention and doesnt help their cause.

cre8tiff Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 There is a lot of infighting in those types of organizations. When a leader is taken out, it causes inner turmoil as sub leaders claim themselves to be the next one, and could possibly fragment the movement.

I'm surprised Israel hasn't utilized this strategy to eradicate terrorist organizations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are reports surfacing this morning of one of the rivals for succession being shot dead in a fight with another rival, so what you say may well be very true.

nuke'em ttg Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Our troops in Afghanistan prove yet again they have retained their sense of humor. One of them sent this:` "YOU MAY BE A TALIBAN IF..." 1.. You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to liquor. 2.. You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can't afford shoes. 3.. You have more wives than teeth. 4.. You wipe your butt with your bare hand, but consider bacon "unclean." 5.. You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide. 6.. You can't think of anyone you haven't declared Jihad against. 7.. You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing. 8.. You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs. 9.. You have nothing against women and think every man should own at least two. 10. You've always had a crush on your neighbor's goat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
