A blockbuster from Der Spiegel: "And then Mullah Omar screamed at me"

"And then Mullah Omar screamed at me"

The former chief of Saudi intelligence, Prince Turki Ibn al-Faisal, discusses the kingdom's role in the war on terror, the funding of militant Islamists, and his dramatic meeting with terrorist chief Osama bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Omar."

------------snip===============

Further down, look at these blockbusters:

SPIEGEL: Do you share the optimism of some American military experts, who claim bin Laden has now been surrounded somewhere in Waziristan, along the Afghan-Pakistani border, and that his arrest is simply a matter of months, weeks or even days?

Turki: They could've captured bin Laden and Mullah Omar much earlier if so many resources hadn't been pulled out of Afghanistan.

SPIEGEL: Pulled out by the Americans, in the direction of Iraq?

Turki: I am not prepared to assign any blame. However, I do believe that it is possible to find bin Laden, in spite of the many difficulties posed by inaccessible mountainous terrain. And I am in favor of putting him on trial once he has been captured."

1. Boy it's not difficult to see where this guy....

starts spewing lies I think. I don't know, my 'liar alarm' started going off at the point when the royal dude started saying Omar very strangely switch his position. Sounded like bullshit for the next few lines to me.

like it's already happened.

What a surprise.
