Taliban Leader Is Hiding and Being Protected in Pakistan, Says Spokesman

Fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar is alive and well and living in Pakistan under the protection of the Pakistan intelligence agency, according to the captured spokesman for the Taliban, Mohammad Hanif.

Hanif was captured in Afghanistan yesterday, and today the Afghan government released video footage of him in which he claims to know the location of Omar.

"He is living in Quetta," says Hanif, "and the ISI is protecting him."

While Pakistani officials dismiss this statement, the information coincides with secret U.S. military documents obtained by ABC News earlier this year. The documents were part of a U.S. targeting assessment produced in January 2005 and, incredibly, were bought at an Afghanistan street bazaar, just a few hundred feet from the front gate of the U.S. air base in Bagram.

Edited on Wed Jan-17-07 12:56 PM by SpiralHawk
Commander AWOL and his porcine pals have set a Guiness Book of World Records record for being the "Most Thoroughly Vacationed" pResident of all Time, far surpassing Ronnie Reagan.

He hid out from his responsibilities to the National Guard.
He hid out from his responsibilities on 9/11.
He hid out from his responsibilitis to the people of the Gulf Coast during Katrina.

And now Commander AWOL is hiding out from his responsibility to follow the Will of the American People -- who are sick and tired of this phone republicon oil & munitions War Profits War.
