Taliban SPLITS; Breaks up: AFGHAN and PAKI

Baitullah says "Make me" to Omar.

Note: Baitullah is the taliban in Pakistan, the tribes picked him.
Sometime in mid-December, as the winter winds howled across the snow-dusted hills of Pakistan's inhospitable border regions, 40 men representing Taliban groups all across Pakistan's northwest frontier came together to unify under a single banner and to choose a leader.

The banner was Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, or the Taliban Movement of Pakistan, with a fighting force estimated at up to 40,000. And the leader was Baitullah Mehsud,
Baitullah Mehsud pledged alligeance to Omar.

Mullah Omar will use all Taliban assets in the tribal areas for the struggle in Afghanistan. This leaves Mehsud and his loyalists completely isolated to fight against Pakistani forces. ( Not, they couldn't find anyone who would agree to replace him. )

There are other problems as well. Mullah Omar has "sacked" Baitullah Mehsud, the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, and then indicated that what he really did was just cut Mehsud loose. That's mainly because Mehsud is a powerful tribal leader, and no one in the region dares to defy him by accepting Omars appointment as new leader of the Pakistani Taliban. Apparently Omar does not have enough power among Mehsud's jihadis (core Taliban fighters) to actually remove him from command.

So now we have Taliban of Afghan and the Taliban of Paki which have just been cut loose from main Taliban, Bet al Qaeda just loves this.

And Omar says get rid of him for fighting in Pakistan instead of fighting NATO in Afghan, and they Ignore Omar, the leader of the Afgan Taliban.

It seems we have TWO talibans...the Pakistan Taliban and Afghan Taliban. Independent.

If Paki does take out the Taliban in this triangle area that effectively ends the HUGE taliban IN Paki, and cuts the old taliban in HALF

It seems they already tried a treaty with him and paid him $500,000 and that didn't work.
he turned Pakistan into "Saw V", suicide bombings, killed 123 tribal leaders, beheadings.

The big final option would to be to take out as many of the 40,000 in this triangel area as possible, the guy won't bargain in good faith, that leaves death.

Paradigm Intel suggest the Paki fighting might have been getting to close to Mullah Omar or Binny.
It's interesting that Ayman al-Zawahari's "town hall meeting" video is overdue by at least SIX days, and there is no longer a banner about it at Ekhlaas. The production might have been destroyed, or at least interrupted, in the recent fighting in Waziristan.
Moving forces to Afghan may get the Paki Army off their back in Paki and firing him makes it eaiser to sell him to the Paki Army, in exchange for some seize fire.( I would hazard a guess BM will be dead with in a few days, but not a prisoner. )

If Omar wants "everything" in Afghan to fight Nato, is that an admission Biny is in Afghan?
And needs more protection? USA may be closer to Biny than they think.
