#1 The death of Mullah Omar was not announced until years after his death. The omniscient CIA stated that it knew of his death all along. The question is: If they did, couldn't they have predicted an internecine struggle would occur in Taleban ranks if it were announced? And eouldn't they have used that struggle to the benefit of the government in Kabul? Or was it the case that under order from Obama they were told to make nice with the Taleban because the White House was trying to ease it back into power in Afghanistan?
