Afghanistan
Toe Tag for Mullah Dadullah? Ululullah!
2007-05-13
See update in RD's comment below, that's a fairly convincing 'Dadullah as Deader' still life portrait.
The Taliban's top operational commander, Mullah Dadullah, has been killed in a clash in Afghanistan, security officials said on Sunday. "Mullah Dadullah has been killed and his body is in Kandahar," said Saeed Ansari, spokesman for the intelligence department.
24 hour and/or official US military statement rule in effect, but I'm breaking out the good scotch just in case...
Another intelligence official said the one-legged Dadullah was killed in a clash with Afghan troops in the southern province of Helmand on Saturday night.
"We found only one leg so we think it was him..."
Apart from leading most Taliban attacks in the south, the notorious Dadullah was also believed to be behind a series of kidnappings of foreigners and Afghans. There have been several reports over recent years that Dadullah had been killed or captured.
Missed him by *that* much!
If confirmed, his death would be a heavy blow for the Taliban, fighting to regain absolute dictatorial power expel foreign troops since they were ousted in a U.S.-led offensive after the September 11, 2001, attacks.
Poor li'l beleaguered Talibunnies, bereft first of their Dignity™ and then of their spiritual guide. O whatever is to become of them?
He would also be the most important Taliban killed since then. In December, U.S.-led forces killed another top Taliban official, Mullah Mohammad Akhtar Osmani, in an air attack in the south of the country after a tip-off by Pakistan.

#42  Whoops -- so much for pride in my editing!

I'm sure he's in Hell and quite frequently singed,
But would settle for gone, and forever unable.

That's better.

#41  Actually, that's a good start, Redneck Jim. :-) I like the images. I'd tighten the scansion so:

I'd comment much more, but his doom is complete
I'm happy he's gone in a manner most stable,

I'm sure he's in Hell and quite frequently singed, But would settle for gone, and forever unable.

I hope you don't mind -- I edit all the writers in my household, and it's become a bad habit.
A cute bit of doggerel, Jim dear. Not really Suess like, but it stands quite nicely on it's own.

#39  I'd comment much more, but his doom is complete

we wish him to hell and frequently singed, but will settle for gone, and permanantly unable

(OK, so poetry is not my field)

#38  Niiiice, Xbalanke. It's been a while since we've had original poetry... and I adore Dr. Zeuss. I can still recite his ABC from memory, although it's been 15 1/2 years since it was trailing daughter #1's favourite story... all the way from Frankfurt to Prague and back again in the car.

And all 72 have his facial hair.

#34  In the meter of Dr. Seuss:

Mullah Dadullah with only one leg
Is dead as a doornail; he needs no more peg.

A most vicious killer and head-chopper too,
We are all very happy he's collecting his due.

A Taliban leader more brutal than most,
Many Afghans rejoice as he singes like toast.

His seventy two raisins are lined up with care,
Awaiting his infernal presence down there.



Feel free to pile on...

#12  And they layed the body in pink sheets (or is it salmon, as one of the Esteemed Mods delusionally insist it is?)... oh, I ask you, when will the Humiliation™ cease?

#11  We need to document the reporting...I have seen one report from AP in which they called him...impish. Another report from Der Spiegel gave him a glowing obit. Much wailing in the press this morning.

#10  "One to the back of the head"

Hmm, sounds more like Special Forces op to me.


"Taliban, fighting to expel foreign troops"

Most of the Talibunnies are foreigners from Pakland etc. When will journos stop sticking their lie narrative into "news"?

#8  Toe Tag for Mullah Dadullah?

A tragic loss of a great man, a source of personal
inspiration, gone to collect his 72 virgins (or maybe he ran out of Virgin frequent exploder points).

#7  Two wounds in the stomach. One almost hopes the shot in the back of the head came several hours later.

Here's another good thought! Maybe one of the Brave Lions of Islam finished him off so he wouldn't squeal.

#3  Taliban spokesmen at first denied the report, obviously. But it's being reported on Al Jazeera Arabic that the Taliban is now confirming his death. Reporters from the BBC and other news agencies were shown the body and they're all saying it looks like Dadullah based on previous interview videos. I'd say it's safe to break out the scotch

Heh.. looks like 'em! *Fingers Crossed*



Dadullah, a top lieutenant of Taliban leader Mullah Omar, was killed Saturday in the southern province of Helmand, said Said Ansari, the spokesman for Afghanistan's intelligence service.

"Mullah Dadullah was the backbone of the Taliban," Khalid said. "He was a brutal and cruel commander who killed and beheaded Afghan civilians."

Khalid showed Dadullah's body to reporters at a news conference in the governor's compound. An Associated Press reporter [NOOR KHAN?] said the body, which was lying on a bed and dressed in a traditional Afghan robe, had no left leg and three bullet wounds: one to the back of the head and two to the stomach.

The AP reporter [NOOR KHAN?] said the body appeared to be Dadullah's based on his appearance in TV interviews and Taliban propaganda videos.

A second intelligence service official said Dadullah was killed near the Sangin and Nahri Sarraj districts of Helmand province, which have seen heavy fighting involving British and Afghan troops and U.S. Special Forces. The official was not authorized to give his name.
LINKY

btw, the usual Talib suspects sed that Peg Leg Dadullah was just fine but that his only wooden leg had termites.


**Dadullah's peg leg will make quite the trophy for U.S. Special Forces!
