Oh Snap!

Is Taleban getting desperate?

Last seen unassing the AO on a moto scooter, the Taliban's tyrannis terribles the one eyed Mullah Omar has been rumoured to still be about - maybe in Pakistan - maybe rewriting the Taliban's RoE

Rumours about "Commander of the faithful" - Amir-ul-Momineen - Mullah Omar have dang near driven Taliban into a totally raison d'jank etre:

"...Those splits are more visible now, as the doubts and divides grow with every false report. Nearly a dozen Taliban commanders who were interviewed by NEWSWEEK for this story say Omar’s silence has become an urgent topic among the Taliban leadership.

"...Perhaps the enigmatic Mullah Omar—if in fact he’s alive and at liberty—is waiting for the right moment to show himself. But meanwhile the cracks in his insurgency are deepening. Unless he surfaces soon, his hopes of returning to power could disappear as completely as he has.
