Mullah Omar, who is believed to be hiding in Pakistan made the statement to mark the end of the Muslim month of fasting Ramadan, which was posted on jihadist websites, monitored by site intelligence groups.
Taliban's elusive leader Mullah Omar has claimed that his fighters are near victory and has asked US President Barack Obama to withdraw his troops "unconditionally and as soon as possible."
The shadowy leader who has not been seen in public since 2001 in a rare statement said his fighters were winning the war and the campaign by US and NATO forces has been a "complete failure", BBC reported

"Winning" was never a possibility. I think American and NATO efforts in Afghanistan were doomed from the outset as the executive commanders including Clinton, Bush, and Obama had deficient focus, strategy, and plans.

yes you are right Yankeejim Pakistan has also helped him and given shelter to Taliban and these people are desperately waiting for the day when American and NATO forces will leave the region.

The invasion of Afghanistan was doomed and US imperialists and Taliban were in no-win situation.The only victory for US imperialist was complete devastation of an already improvished Afghanistan;and for Taliban,withdrawl of US led Nato troops.To sum up:no one has won,Afghan masses are real and ultimate losers.For US imperialists Afghanistan is Vietnam ll,for Taliban a fertile ground for radical Islam.
