Bin Laden's buddy talks

Bin Laden Is Alive;
Taliban Recruits Many Bombers, Mullah Says

Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is alive and his followers work closely with the Taliban, who have mobilized hundreds of suicide bombers, a top Afghan mullah said in an interview obtained by the U.K.'s Channel 4 News.

Taliban leaders of the insurgency against Afghan and NATO troops in southern Afghanistan meet bin Laden only ``rarely'' though they share plans with him and go into battle with al-Qaeda loyalists, Mullah Dadullah said in the undated footage posted on the television channel's Web site. His comments were translated.

"It's hard for anyone to meet bin Laden himself now, but we know he is still alive; he's not yet martyred,'' said Dadullah, the top Taliban military commander in southern Afghanistan. "Only his comrades see him. We exchange messages with each other to share plans. We also go to the battlefield together.''

While we waste so much on the wrong war, Osama bin Laden continues his reign. The head of the snake is where we're not.
