Two interesting snippets from STRATFOR's situtaion reports today:

• The Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar called on rich Muslims to fund the regime's defense, Reuters reported. "Merchants and owners of capital, your prime duty is to spend in the way of God," he said. 011003



• Saudi Arabia will reportedly provide free oil to Pakistan should it participate in the U.S.-led military strikes against Afghanistan, reported IRNA. 2136 GMT, 011003

Well Mohammad (by the way, the whole "mullah" title is not official, it's just what people call him out of respect (read: fear), the guy has little actual religious training) looks like the rich muslims are using their capital, but it's to destroy you. Got to be a bitch when your former allies start funding the opposition.
