Mullah Omar Should Be 'Worried': US General
Source: MSN News

Major General Richard Mills, who recently finished his tour commanding Marines in southern Afghanistan, said the assault on Bin Laden's compound in Pakistan demonstrated "that we don't leave our missions."

"Once we've targeted you, we're going to maintain our focus on you until the mission's accomplished," he told reporters.

"If I was Mullah Omar I would certainly be worried. It shows the Americans are focused," the general said.


Omar is the one-eyed spiritual leader of the insurgency who presided over the 1996-2001 Taliban regime in Kabul, which was toppled in a US invasion for its support of Al-Qaeda.

1. Capturing Omar is very difficult because there is no picture from him
I doubt it that we will be able to capture him. Unless we get very lucky.

3. No shit. I'd be turning myself in to the fucking Dutch or someone
and at least get a nice trial.

6. Wonder if it will be him or al-Zawahiri first?
It was smart to get OBL first. Pakistan is going to either get increasingly opposed to actions, jump on board or downward spiral from here.
