| News from the Other Side: Peace offer to Mullah Omar? |
| 2003-01-11 |
| Source: Taliban On Line According to a news paper, the state department has related that the American Govt wants to put the matters of Afghanistan in order before attacking Iraq. Regarding this matter the higher Army officials and some CIA officials deployed in Afghanistan are trying to send this message to Mullah Omar that America wants a solution for Afghanistan and they are ready to negotiate with the Taliban. "We surrender, Mullah Omar! Don't shoot!" It is confirmed by the foreign office that this message has reached Mullah Omar but he has not replyed as yet. Still waiting for somebody to read it to him? According to American officials America wants to be in peace of mind from Taliban and other Jihadi Movements before attacking Iraq. According to one source it has been made clear in the message that was sent to Mullah Omar that America is in severe doubt about the ability of the Karzai Govt in restoring peace and also worried about the increased influence and power of the Northern Alliance and also the increased influence of Iran and Russia in North Afghanistan and Kabul. Colin Powell has also been advised not to critisize Taliban. That makes sense. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but it makes sense... CIA has also been informed of meetings taken place between Hekmatyar and Osama Bin Laden. Source: http://www.nawaiwaqt.com.pk/daily/jan-2003/10/ak2.htm I think we knew about those meetings. The Urdu press — I assume it's Urdu — is definitely a strange and wonderful thing. More strange than wonderful, and "wonderful" in the sense you have to wonder what they're thinking, but still... |

| #4 The tone and subject of this person's "Anonymous" post makes me think/guess that they are justifibly fed up with Pakistan's jihadi behavior in Kashmir. Fair enough but let's not forget that Powell is the Diplomatic Face of US foreign policy and as such has to play "good cop" to Rumsfeld's "bad cop". "Good cop" has to act sympathetic and solicitous but isn't necessarily "soft on crime". At the end of the day, the cops (I gotta believe) are on the same side and working together to put away evil doers. Anyway, it's just a thought. Keep up your spirits, Anonymous. We're gonna win this. |

| #2 More Colin Powell mischief. Powell argued for military integration with the dictatorship of the terror state of Pakistan, notwithstanding their extermination of 3,000,000 Hindus and Muslim opponents in the early 'seventies. Powell agitated for Northern Alliance restraint, before they ignored him and attacked and captured Kabul. Powell coerced the Northern Alliance into making ersatz peace with the Pashto jihadis, by status quo armistice. Powell engineered the placement of Karzai's ethnocentrist Pashtos into the Pakistan Presidency. Powell engineered the restoration of Sharia perversity in Afghanistan, prior to the Saudis restoration of aid. Powell agitated for elections in Pakistan, during Islamic Revolutionary (inqilab) conditions, with predictable results. Powell engineered Paul O'Neill's November trip to Pakistan, where the then Treasury Security announced aid continuity, notwithstanding the jihadi party - MMA - control of the frontier provinces, and 19% of U.S. aid to Pigistan. Powell exhonerated the Wahabi al-Haramain Foundation after that child of the ibn Baz and the Crown Prince was caught red-handed in financing terror. Powell is arm-twisting for "containment" of Iraq, in spite of its dictators threats. Powell is a mouthpiece of all the twisted third world rhetoric that has polluted the earth since WW2. Powell is a dependent of the evil-horde, and he has to go. |
