Rachel Maddow thinks Mullah Omar is an honorable man and victim
In what must be one of the most ridiculous liberal thesis on origins of the war and more so how it’s end is near Rachel Maddow from the the Obama network, MSNBC implies this was all “Honor driven”. She said on her 27 May, 2011 show that Pashtunwali the honor code of the Afghan Pashtun tribe “forced” Mullah Omar to protect Bin Laden. That he was just doing the “hospitable thing” as required by his code. She then goes on to say that now that Bin Laden is dead the war will soon be over because the “honor code” no longer bounds Omar and he can negotiate with us.
Now here is where this entire thesis is flawed in so many ways and in my best estimation she heard the word Pashtunwali in a coffee house the day before and ran with it like some new enlightened lefty elitist. First, she says that he took Bin laden in when he was on the run and because of that was “honor bound”. Wrong, he did not take Bin Laden in on the run Rachel, they these guys were partners in “CRIME” and worked together to build a terror network and training camps in a Taliban run country. This had no more to do with honor then LCN and saying that once Gotti was captured organized crime members could now go straight and start to negotiate with the feds….Are you really that naive?
Second, she says that after Bin Laden’s death Omar and the Taliban reached out to negotiate and therefore the end of the war was near because the honor code was not an issue. Wrong again Rachel! A. you have no proof when the negotiations started and B. By most reports they started long before Bin Laden’s death. Fact is you just took liberty with the facts to paint a very false picture of the realities of the situation.
Last, downplaying the death of 3000 plus on 9-11 as the inevitable result of poor Mullah Omar just doing the right thing based on a 250 year old tribal honor code is a slap in the face to all those families. Omar is a criminal accomplice to the largest attack on America since WWII. He is not some honor bound victim forced to show “hospitality” to a terrorist as you imply, he is international scum, and a mass murdering terrorist. This is the heart of the issue, the overwhelming desire of the left to find a victim around every corner including poor Mullah Omar. More at: www.victorluebker.com
