WASHINGTON – The Taliban's top military commander has been captured in Pakistan in a joint operation by Pakistani and U.S. intelligence forces, The New York Times reported.
Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, described as the No. 2 behind Taliban founder and Osama bin Laden associate Mullah Muhammad Omar, has been in Pakistan's custody for several days, ...
Baradar was captured in Karachi, Pakistan, in a raid by Pakistan's Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, with CIA operatives accompanying the Pakistanis, the Times reported. Pakistan has been leading the interrogation of Baradar, but Americans were also involved, it said.
...
If confirmed, Baradar's arrest would be a major setback for the Taliban.
He may also have information on the whereabouts of Omar and bin Laden.

WHAT? Is this legit? We’ve had false reports about this kind of thing before.
Mullah Omar is isn’t a big fish. He’s a HUGE fish. Let’s hope the Pakistanis are interrogating him and not Holder’s drones.
get the $$$$$!!!! That would be a huge blow to them.
Berader is second in command behind Mullah Omar.
This is great news if its true.
I can’t get over the suspicion that the first call from the White House to the commanders in Afghanistan was not to congratulate them but to warn them not to use any inappropriate methods of questioning.
“Wonder if the Paki’s know how to properly do the waterboarding?”
God let’s hope so.
What if we missed getting Bin Laden because Obummer couldn’t bring himself to sign off on a special case?
“Mullah Omar”
Draw straws to poke his other eye out.
I heard this earlier tonight on Fox news and then later that his capture is confirmed and he is in custody. This guy was second in line to Omar...excellant catch...I say bring on the water boarding! And a big cheeer for our troops for this capture...I honor them!!!!!!
This poor guy will have to decide whether he will select a vegetarian diet or Goat, his captors will offer him a cell with a view toward Mecca and a Prayer rug, Miranda rights, A US Lawyer and a platform to spout his anti US propaganda...
My guess is he will wish he was captured earlier.
I sure we come to our senses and vote these spineless worms out of office

They’ll pull a General Patton: “The message was garbled”.
Great! I am glad to hear its confirmed.
Should shot him, cause 0bama’s house of traitors will soon give that enemy aid and comfort.
Yes..but you know there’s a lot of dis-information out there at this time so who really knows when it comes right down to it...I think we got Ben-Laden at Toro..they’re just not saying...might be I’m dreaming too Ha!
It sure seems as if since Odumbo decided, after 6 months to pull the trigger on more troops for Afghanistan, we have been seeing very favorable reports out of that country.
When Bush was president we heard all the bad news but very little of any good news.
Not that this suprises me...
Gosh, I hope they don’t subject him to “enhanced interrogation”. Barack Sheik Obama wouldn’t like that.
sweeeeeet
in all fairness, he’s going to find it hard to breathe after being under water for an hour. May I suggest we give him a forced airhole (about 5.56 mm in diameter) so he’ll have less trouble under water.
Absolutely correct. That was my first thought, as well.
