Taliban leader killed in Pakistan

[Chris]

Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud is dead, top Pakistani government officials and Taliban leaders confirmed Wednesday, though some figures in the Al Qaeda-linked network deny the claim.

Rumors have swirled about Mr. Mehsud’s status since he was reported to have died from injuries sustained in a US drone strike in mid-January. If the reports are confirmed, his death would mark the second Pakistani Taliban leader killed by the US in six months. Similar confusion also surrounded the death of the previous commander, Baitullah Mehsud.

The Associated Press reports that Pakistan’s interior minister and a senior intelligence official confirmed that Mehsud, who was in his late 20s, had died, though neither gave details about his death. “I have credible information that he's dead but I don't have any confirmation,” Pakistani daily Dawn quoted Interior Minister Rehman Malik saying on Wednesday. Mr. Malik also said that Qari Hussein, a senior Taliban commander and one of Mehsud’s possible successors, may have also been killed.

The sad thing is, there are 20 more men ready to step into his position as leader.

But the question is are they as good as him?

If they aren't, this definitely counts as a victory. A organization with incompetent leaders is many times worse off than a organization with no leaders.

I wouldn't say he was that good if he was taken out within 6 months of becoming their leader.

The Taliban will never be defeated militarily.

It sucks being a terrorist

Personally, imo, it's time to leave Afghanistan. If the Taliban takes over, they take over. It's up to the people of those countries to decide for themselves who leads them. If AQ starts to rebuild in these countries...maybe we go back, but until then...it's time to pull all of our troops out of the Middle East.

Hard to believe liars like you are going to tell someone that spent time in country that there was never a connection between Saddam and terrorism. Tell that to Bush 41 stupid fucker.

I can't speak for the others, but I did not criticize Bush for killing terrorists.

Once the mission changed from terroist killing to nation building is when I started having serious issues with the bush administration. Do I have a problem with drone strikes? Noep, but with that said, these drone strikes aren't going to stop the Taliban. Nothing short of negotiating with them will. It's at this point that I feel it's our time to let Afghanistan figure out who they want in charge. If it's the taliban, so be it...we don't need to be there for that to happen, and we don't need to be there to have ore of our troops there to be killed when this administration doesn't seem to have a clue as to what they are doing there.
