I'm Gary I'll Be Yer Local Taliban For The Day

Gary Faulkner is a 50 something California-born building contractor who lives in Colorado. Right now he is being held in custody in Pakistan after being stopped near the border with Afghanistan's Nuristan province, for carrying a pistol, a sword, night-vision equipment and Christian books.

Wanna know what he was doing there? He was looking for Al Qaeda leader Osama Bi Laden of course.

According to his brother Scott "My brother is not crazy. He is highly intelligent and loves his country and he has not forgotten what Osama has done to this country." Scott is not a psychiatrist.

"Osama had made some references to our God, the God of the Bible, in a poor light, and the fact that he was taunting America and getting away with killing thousands of Americans, my brother took that very personally," he told CNN.

To be honest it sounds quite reasonable to Old Knudsen. Some middle aged Gog bothering Yank builder blending into the trees searching thousands of miles of terrain for Osama and his 100 or so camel raping body guards. So what was he going to do if he ever found him? Oh yeah die horribly.
Faulkner had been over 6 times previously which shows you the lack of security and that he was committed to this silly plan of vengeance . He never once though, "Uh maybe this is a real bad idea.
The area where the town of Chitral is has numerous insurgent groups in the region such as the Pakistani Lashkar-e Toiba, and the Afghan Hizb-i Islami Gulbuddin.

Scott Faulkner said his brother "could blend in with the local population and go places that our military cannot go."

Yeah like the local Pakistani police station. Idiots think that if you have a beard and put on a robe then you can pass as Taliban........... well until you speak , walk or just be American like. There is body language and a complete cluelessness of the different cultures.


Come to think of it have you ever noticed how ZZ Top look like the Taliban? except for the one in the middle who looks like a Somali pirate.

U.S. Embassy Spokesman Richard Snelsire was unable to confirm or deny any details probably due to the international embarrassment . Hailed as a Rambo type hero without all the cool action by some and a WTF? by others there is no denying that Faulkner has guts, also no brains and perhaps a mental illness.

Lets just hope the Pakistani government treats this act of terrorism as a brain fart and returns Faulkner to the talk show circuit and a possible book deal and reality show.
