..Wow, how far we've come from October 2001. Back then the U.S. was
bombing the Taliban out of power for supporting terrorism, while today
we've pulled its top leader from our terrorist list. The FBI today has
taken Mullah Muhammad Omar, head of the Taliban in Afghanistan, off of
its 'Most Wanted Terrorists" list, reports The Express Tribune. It's
unclear whether the U.S. no longer thinks Omar is a terrorist or if he's
just not wanted anymore. In any case, the Obama administration is trying
ploy after ploy to get the Taliban to negotiate a peace in Afghanistan
and put that war to bed like the one in Iraq. Already thrown on the
table: The 20 something Gitmo prisoners part of the Taliban and control
of southern Afghanistan, according to The Tribune. But so far the
Taliban doesn't want much to do with us after, you know, declaring war
on them a decade ago and all.
