Hamid Karzai says Taliban chief Mullah Omar can run for Afghan presidency
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...ullah-Omar-can-run-for-Afghan-presidency.html
Mullah Omar has been wanted by the U.S. State Department since October 2001. There's a ten million dollar reward on his head. He sheltered Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda killers in the years prior to the September 11 attacks. He further had a hand in the planning of the 911 attacks, and is currently directing the Taliban's ongoing war against the U.S.-led NATO forces.
No problem! When Mullah Omar takes over, I'm sure the U.S. political spin masters will give the occasion a snappy name like; "Afghan Spring!"
Just last month, Barack Hussein Obama used the NATO summit to press Afghan leader Hamid Karzai to engage with greater urgency with the Taliban about a political settlement in Afghanistan. Obama doesn't seem to particularly care what kind of deal is struck nor what kind of threat might be left behind.
This past weekend Obama declared that Afghanistan was a "major non-NATO ally." The non-NATO ally declaration allows for streamlined defense cooperation, more money, expedited purchasing ability of American equipment, and easier export control regulations. The way things are heading, this should also make Mullah Omar very happy.
So... following this new enlightened path of reasoning..... if we can just get the damned gun-ho reactionary Brits to stop constantly arresting all those poor misunderstood 'peace loving' Muslims around the Olympic venue, we could all continue on in this wonderful world where sunshine and lolly-pops fall out our asses.
