You mean to say that, no one in the world can beat a Retd. General, and all the resistance Taliban/Al-qaeda is offering is because of him… are you serious?
Things may get clear with this little example, in my field , i exactly know what my competitor is thinking and how he acts, his capabilities and my competitors knows the same about me, do u accept that an Army General who happend to be a Spy Master as well, do not know, or cannnot tell how to plan these kind of attacks…
Now what is in there which is telling you that he is their spoke’sman, he as an expert on Taliban issue is just giving his opinion.. i have underlined the text, which you may have missed and concluded a false opinion about Hameed Gul.
