| Appeasement Alert: Mullah Omar Replaced as Taliban Leader... as Part of a Deal? |
| 2003-11-10 |
| KABUL, November 10 (Online): Taliban leader Mulla Muhammad Omar has been replaced by Mullah Momin Sabir. Radio Tehran reports from Kandahar that group leader Mulla Muhammad Omer has been sidelined and has been replaced by Mulla Momin Sabir. The United States has been holding talks with the Taliban for the last two months. Washington wants Mullah Muhammad Omer to be sidelined while Taliban group demands total withdrawal of the US forces from Afghanistan. If it is true the Taliban has accepted to replace Omar as its leader, this was done in exchange for what? The Taliban was directly responsible for 9/11, cutting a deal with them would constitute an outrageous moral crime. |

| #4 Mullah Umar has already caught a case of lead poisoning. Only that it is the slow variety: the one who makes crazy and stupid |

| #2 I can imagine Mullah Omar being replaced because as far as the Taliban is concerned he's pretty much been a huge failure. I would doubt any American involvement in the matter, however. The US would prefer the loser in charge. |

| #1 Oh, please! This is the Pak Tribune reporting on a report by Radio Tehran. The only way Mullah Omar would be replaced is if he caught a bad case of lead poisoning. |
