Remember one-eyed Taliban "supreme leader," Mullah Omar? Seems Mullah Omar has rejected President Hamid Karzai's recent request for peace talks. But Omar did take time to critique Taliban attacks which kill innocent Afghan people. Referring to the suicide bombings, Omar said: "‘Pay heed to the protection of public and national property during the conduct of military operations, particularly during martyrdom-seeking operations. Focus on the invaders and their lackeys and other important targets."
Omar had a message for the "freedom-loving people of the West." He said: "Every day our youths, old men, women and children are martyred by your bombs and mortars."
So... four days before President Obama's expected announcement to send more troops to Afghanistan, we have the President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, attempt to appease the Taliban leader, Mullah Omar. Perhaps if you offered Omar more money? After all, it worked with the Sunnis in Iraq?
