Propaganda.. they put out these 'turning points', so called, and "look how great we're doing" fluff all the time... as if capturing one dude will
cause the taliban to reconsider fighting the occupiers.
That is if they even caught the right person, or anyone important at all.
Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, a Taliban spokesman in Afghanistan, denied that Baradar had been captured. He said Baradar is continuing his operations and is
in Afghanistan. Another Afghan Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, also denied Baradar had been arrested. He said reports of his arrest are
designed to demoralize the Afghan Taliban.
Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said he could not verify reports of the capture. He also denied reports the CIA and ISI conducted a secret
raid that captured Barada
Here is my favorite part:
U.S. officials and analysts said
This propaganda brought to you by the same idiot experts that claimed saddam had WMDs, reconstituted his nuke program and all the other things they
are wrong, or lie, about...
IMO the taliban have more credibility than the US govt as far as the WOT goes, I'll go with them on this one.. besides, US "sources" belch on about
the capture of "number 3" or "two" scary boogie man every now and then.. yet the resistance the US occupations continues unabated.
