Hmmm, is terrorism a river that flows two directions? I wonder...

In truth this was probably not terrorism. A leader of the Taliban was taken out. This wasn’t the bombing of a center full of shoppers. A specific leader of anti-government forces was eliminated.

Exactly.

We should be doing this all over the M/E.

We wouldn’t kill a close friend of Mullah Omar all alone, we’d follow him to Omar himself. We would also be less likely to kill one of the few Talibani clerics who wanted to turn over Bin Laden rather than go to war against the U.S.

So this wasn’t our hit. This hit indicates that the Taliban is infighting.
