Top Taliban Leader Captured in Pakistan

Pakistan has captured Mullah Obaidullah Akhund, who was once Defense Minister under the Taliban. Akhund is said to be the Taliban's #3 in command and very close to Osama bin Laden.

Andy Cochran calls it a "huge capture". Roggio says his capture could be a boon for intelligence if the Pakistanis will give us access to him. But to really connect the dots as to why this is both good and bad news, go read Allahpundit's post.

And since I haven't mentioned it in months, who's willing to lay cash on the line that the reason bin Laden isn't meeting any one in al Qaeda or the Talliban face to face these days is for one simple reason: he's not on Tatooine anymore.

My money says Africa, but I'm willing to place a hedge bet somewhere between Indonesia and the Philippines.

I know you all think I'm crazy whenever I mention this. Yeah, crazy.....like a fox.

1 Hmmm, what a wealth of information this guy could be if we can get our hands on him. Sadly however if we do get our hands on him our traitorous dummycrats will fight to have him released.

2 ALRIGHT, I confess, I'm a scientist (but I didn't give anyone syphilis to experiment on them, or anything).  However, when it comes to Osama Bin Laden, I like to stick with Occam's Razor (the Law of Parsimony), which insists on the simplest comprehensive explanation for things.  DATA: Death of close associates of Osama at Tora Bora (Zawahiri's wife & kids)... No videos of Osama since Tora Bora late 2001... No clear audio recordings of Osama since then, all of them full of static, in spite of improving production values for other Al Qaida audio and video... Clear and un-diminishing arguments by software experts from Switzerland and elsewhere that software has existed for years which can duplicate human speech patterns almost perfectly, including accents, pausing, intonation, etc... To make it impossible to differentiate from the real thing, add background static... The US and Pakistan seem to have given up looking for Osama... Zawahiri has taken over as principal spokesman, despite obvious shortcomings in oratory and charisma... Al Qaida renewed claims today that Osama is alive (while admitting that few have seen him)... If he was dead, I would not expect the US or Al Qaida to admit it (the US does not want Osama as a martyr, and Al Qaida needs a figurehead).  CONCLUSION: The Law of Parsimony suggests that in the absence of any good evidence to the contrary, I assume that Osama is DEAD.

4 With all due respect gentemenz... I'd personally rather stick to Murphy's Law when it comes to relying on The Law of Parsimony.

Until I see his DNA splattered all over the inside of a cave in chunks, I consider him to be breathing.

..nuff said.

5 mrclark,
 

You are right, when dealing with a murderous insane psychopath only his dead cold body justifies believing him to be dead. Anything else constitutes a delusional fantasy worthy only of left wing moonbat treasonous dummycrats.

7 I would agree he was dead myself.

However IF I was Bin Laden and wanted to hide out I think I would shave my beard put on a suite get a western hair cut and go chill out somewere either in the US or EU in a 4th or 5th teir city preferably one with a pop of many darker skin immigrants but not a large Muslim pop.  I would get a regular john doe white colar (bin laden is royalty he aint gettin his hands dirty) pray only at my house and every once in a blue moon cut a voice only tape on a OLD school recorder not one of these new fangled digital jobs put the tape in the mail to abib who can send it to dula who can give it to Akmed who visits Egypt once a year and on.

The average John Doe seeing a cleaned up Hazus Broloca spanish immigrant aka bin laden wouldnt think anything of it short maybe a joke damm you look like Bin Laden ha aha ah whatever.  As for the gov we are looking in Muslim areas not the Burbs.

9 The only thing between Indonesia and the Philippines is a strait of water.


Bin Loser ain't a merman.

10 Excellent!

As for Bin-Laden's whereabouts I would speculate Africa, if not the part of Afghanistan closest to China or Waziristan province of Pakistan.
You might recall the discussion we had last year surrounding big Russian-made Cargo planes being chartered from Khazagistan to Sudan (or was it Somalia).

11 Last time I proclaimed his death, I remember an audio coming out.

I HOPE he's dead, and SUSPECT that he is.  But I was a Boy Scout: Be prepared that he's alive.

It's also very likely that news of urgent need for dialysis was overblown.

12 I stand by the fact that OBL is 100% underground.

As far as the Taliban capture news... how long do you give til he's released pending good conduct by the ISI? Or he -cough- wasn't captured at all, it was a mistaken report! See, there he is roaming Quetta a week later!
