Dadullah

won’t be down for breakfastullah.  One-legged Taliban popstar gets popped.  Sucky Mother’s Day for Mommullah.

And so the legend begins.   

“No one could inspire a 12-year-old to behead infidels and collaborators like him!”

“Yes, he had a way with beardless boys!”   

“He was so one-legged!”

Gateway has the roundup

So what does it mean.  Probably not so much.  Killing off someone’s top allegedly invincible Hollywood commander could have some propaganda value, though when you’re dealing with a suicidal death cult, that’s questionable. It’ll be interesting to see what happens to Dadullah DVD sales, and if someone has the good sense to produce a good inspirational martyrdom vid.  As an observer in the AP report notes, terrorist … excuse me, militant … leaders come and go.  Someone will replace Dadullah.  Probably someone not so flashy, not so debonair, not so much savoir terror.  Then, it will be his turn.   It’s worth a look at Terrorist Death Watch …  2,210 in the last year and a half. How about that.  When the Taliban kill, it tends to be in ones and twos.  But when the Taliban die, its by the dozen, some days by the hundreds.  The overall death count and limiting of Taliban operations, increasingly by Afghan-heavy forces, will have a greater effect than the death of one showboat who. Here’s the local take from the AP story:

Rahimullah Yusufzai, a Peshawar-based editor for the Pakistani newspaper The News and an expert on the Taliban, said Dadullah’s death would be a huge blow for the militant group.

“I think this is the biggest loss for the Taliban in the last six years,” Yusufzai said. “I don’t think they can find someone as daring and as important as Dadullah.”

But Yusufzai and Mustafa Alani, director of security and terrorism studies at the Dubai-based Gulf Research Center, said the death would have little long-term effect. Alani noted that insurgent attacks in Iraq did not abate after the killing of al-Qaida’s leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, last June.

“In this sort of organization, people are replaceable, and always there is a second layer, third layer. They will graduate to the leadership,” Alani said. “He is important, no doubt about it. Yes, it is a moral victory, but he’s replaceable.”

Yusufzai said many Taliban fighters had been unhappy with Dadullah, saying he maligned the militant group with brutal beheadings, a rash of kidnappings and boastful videos that starred himself shooting weapons and walking in Afghanistan’s mountains.

“They thought he had become too big for his shoes,” Yusufzai said.

    “They thought he had become too big for his shoes,” Yusufzai said.

    Maybe Dadullah’s dispatch to virgindom had an assistance from his own troops?

  3. RebeccaH Says:

    Whatever. Good riddance to another murderous brute.

  4. The_Real_JeffS Says:

    Alas, there are many more Taliban and Al Qaeda brutes yet alive, Rebecca. But the troops press on, bless them.

  5. RebeccaH Says:

    That was my point, Jeff. They keep popping up like noxious weeds and we keep pulling them out. We can keep doing that for as long as they can, but we ought to be going for the root.

    “They thought he had become too big for his shoes,” Yusufzai said.

    Excuse me, but if this DEAD bearded wonder only had one leg, wouldn’t that be…”they thought he had become to big for his shoe?

  7. The_Real_JeffS Says:

    Agreed, Rebecca. Better to kill the infection at its source.

  8. TBinSTL Says:

    I heard that he cried like a little girl and denied Allah and begged for last rights before he died…..and I hear that the story of it will be passed around by everybody that hears it………nudge nudge.

  9. MikeH Says:

    RebeccaH (no relation), are you saying that our troops are like a bottle of Roundup ™?

  10. MikeH Says:

    Darn that didn’t work, how about a bottle of Roundup™!

  11. saltydog Says:

    I, too, would like to see this mess ripped out by its roots, which means addressing the states that sponsor terror, which means going after Iran and Saudi Arabia, especially.

  12. El Cid Says:

    So many targets, so many weapons of erasure…Yet, no go.

    We have the means and capability to put these animals, exactly where they want to be. Their little 7th Century utopia, in their own little 7th Century 2 mile square piece of land, when it becomes habitable again, that is.

    OK, maybe that is a tad to tough. I’ll show them generosity and graciousness. 20 square mile of land, when it becomes habitable.

    But no, we let them use the West’s laws and civility, in fact we educate them, in the West, just so they can be taught our laws and civility, so they can destroy those laws and civility, from the inside.

    Of course the West is allowing their animalistic, evil cult to destroy those laws and civility, anywhere they chose, by any means they chose NOW, from the outside

  13. RebeccaH Says:

    Saltydog has it. Go after the sponsors, and I don’t mean with the military necessarily. We should be leaning on them economically, and even more important, undermining the stranglehold the religious fanatics have with our own unique brand of propaganda. After all, we didn’t invent Madison Avenue for nothing, and it’s time to fight dirty.
