Report: Taliban Leader Mullah Omar Wrote Letter To Obama…

I like u. Do u like me? [yes] [no]

WASHINGTON (AP) – Current and former U.S. officials tell The Associated Press that reclusive Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar wrote to President Barack Obama last year indicating an interest in talks key to ending the war in Afghanistan.

The previously undisclosed communication was considered authentic by people who saw it, but skeptical administration officials say they cannot determine if it actually came from Omar. The unsigned letter was passed through a Taliban intermediary in July. An administration official says it represented views consistent with what Taliban emissaries had been telling U.S. officials.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the letter and its contents are part of sensitive diplomacy.

A direct message from Omar could be a strong signal that the Taliban movement is interested in negotiation at the highest levels.

    “A direct message from Omar could be a strong signal that the Taliban movement is interested in negotiation at the highest levels.”

    Could also mean the Taliban sees a jihadist in the WH.

    All Omar wants his five top commanders out of Gitmo and he’ll be glad to talk.

    And that asshole in the White House will be glad to oblige.

    We are so screwed.

    Durrr Mullah Obama,

    Can I get a bailout?

    How about ObamaCare coverage for me, my 30 kids, 6 wives, and 4 camel concubines?

    What are the chances you can set me up on a date with that hottie Rosie O’Donnell?

    Please also accept this gift of a burka for your wife. A little birdie told me you needed one for her.

    PS

    Tell that Joe Biden he’s damn funny!

    Your BFF

    Mu Mo O xoxo durka-durka

    I just now found this:

    Bergdahl ‘recaptured by the Taliban after three days on the run following daring escape’</blockquote.

    It was in British publication {dailymail.co.uk}.. was this reported in our media and I just missed it? anyone else aware of this?

    We could have blasted him to kingdom come in 2001, we had him in our sights,
    but some asshole lawyer in DC screwed it up:

    Hersh described a Predator operation over Afghanistan wherein the machine was supposedly “capable of beaming high-resolution images … identified a group of cars and trucks fleeing the capital (Kabul) as a convoy carrying Mullah Omar, the Taliban leader … The Predator tracked the convoy to a building where Omar, accompanied by a hundred or so guards and soldiers, took cover.” At this point, the Predator’s controllers could have directed it to fire its two “powerful” Hellfire missiles to eliminate the one-eyed Mullah Omar. But, alas, a finicky military (CENTCOM JAG) lawyer was queried in “real time” and nixed the plan.
