#1 For sure, Omar was a humble man who was neither tutored in international politics nor did he comprehend the complications of world politics. He couldnât understand how supplies reached him from Pakistan or why the American government backed him against the other warlords, especially during attempts to build a pipeline that was designed to carry oil through Turkey and not Iran.

ignorant bastard

#2 Aran News, the Saudi mouthpiece at its best. It was the Argentinians who got the deal for the pipeline and it was Pakistan who backed Mullah Omar. After the fall of Soviet Union America had no longer any reason to spend money on such or such warlord.
