Comments on: Reports: New tapes coming from Zawahiri — and Bin Laden http://hotair.com/archives/2006/09/27/reports-new-tapes-coming-from-zawahiri-and-bin-laden/ The world’s first, full-service conservative Internet broadcast network Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:31:27 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Hot Air » Blog Archive » Afghan forces have “Taliban Zarqawi” surrounded in village? http://hotair.com/archives/2006/09/27/reports-new-tapes-coming-from-zawahiri-and-bin-laden/comment-page-1/#comment-378038 Hot Air » Blog Archive » Afghan forces have “Taliban Zarqawi” surrounded in village?

Last year Newsweek called him the “Taliban Zarqawi,” which is a sound analogy in at least three ways: both are notoriously sadistic, both have a fondness for video propaganda (I remember reading recently somewhere that Dadullah’s tapes are all the rage these days in Quetta), and both operate essentially autonomously while swearing/feigning loyalty to some more prominent jihadi figurehead. He’s so important, in fact, that I wonder if Mullah Omar, the official leader of the Taliban, isn’t actually a Keyser Soze figure for Dadullah at this point. All of which helps answer Ace’s question about why NATO is giving them the option to surrender instead of going in there and blasting them to pieces. The guy’s an intelligence goldmine; in fact, he’s claimed more than once to have had recent contact with Osama. If there’s any way to take him alive, which there probably isn’t, that’s what they want to do.

Logic would dictate that they’d want to show how their procedures brought him down, not permitted him to carry on.

He’d have to actually be doing something to be carrying on, no?

Details of the OBL "Sandfleas" concert tour are pending and several autograph sessions are planned. Oh yeah and death to America for spawing the Pope during the crusades.
