Bin Laden And Taliban Losing Support In Pakistan

I guess that is what happens when you blow up and brutally murder fellow Muslims at an alarming rate because they won't bow down to you. AP reports via Jules Crittenden and Instapundit.

According to the poll results only 24 percent of Pakistanis approved of bin Laden when the survey was conducted last month, compared with 46 percent during a similar survey in August.

Backing for al-Qaida, whose senior leaders are believed to be hiding along the Pakistani-Afghan border, fell to 18 percent from 33 percent.

Support for the Taliban, whose Pakistani offshoots have seized control of much of the lawless border area and have been engaged in a growing war against security forces, dropped by half to 19 percent from 38 percent, the results said.
