| Taliban: Bin Laden did attack during Cheney visit |
| 2007-04-26 |
| A top Taliban commander has claimed that al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was behind the February attack outside a US base in Afghanistan during US Vice President Dick Cheney's visit, according to an interview aired Wednesday on Al-Jazeera. He just didn't do a very good job of it. Mullah Dadullah, the Taliban's top military commander, told Al-Jazeera that bin Laden planned and supervised the attack that killed 23 people outside the big US base at Bagram during Cheney's visit. "You may remember the martyr operation inside the Bagram base, which targeted a senior US official. ... That operation was the result of his wise planning. He (bin Laden) planned that operation and guided us through it. The operation was a success," Dadullah told Al-Jazeera. |

| #6 I thought we had Mullah Dadullah surrounded. What's up with that? |

| #5 Wise planning. They miss the target and 23 people, Muslims no less, die. They accomplish nothing at the cost of dozens of lives and they expect applause. They're high fiving each other over mass murder. I suppose Harry Reid was impressed, for what that's worth. |

| #4 If so, then it looks like Binny's losing his fastball. Never got inside, never got near Cheney. I don't know if I'd wanna take credit for that one... |

| #1 INTEL, Terror, or even the Mafias, etal. > planners usually also will have = should have multiple contingency options, regardless whether the original intent of the Bagram attack was to de facto kill Cheney; or to intimidate = piss him off enuff, etc. into doing something to the advantage of Osama = Radical Islam. |
