Taliban say Obama's call on moderates "illogical"
Reuter ^ | Tue Mar 10, 2009 | Reporting by Sayed Salahuddin; Editing by David Fox

Posted on 03/10/2009 5:27:46 PM PDT by the anti-liberal

Afghanistan's Taliban on Tuesday turned down as illogical U.S. President Barack Obama's bid to reach out to moderate elements of the insurgents, saying the exit of foreign troops was the only solution for ending the war.

snip

"The Taliban are united, have one leader, one aim, one policy...I do not know why they are talking about moderate Taliban and what it means?,"

"If it means those who are not fighting and are sitting in their homes, then talking to them is meaningless. This really is surprising the Taliban."

Obama’s call on moderate Taliban useless - analysts

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2202507/posts

Obama’s comment resemble a dream more than reality,” said Waheed Mozhdah, an analyst who has written a book on the Taliban.

“Where are the so-called moderate Tal iban? Who are the moderate Taliban?” asked Mozhdah, who was an official in both the Taliban and the Karzai governments.

Similar to my first thought. What are the moderates, the ones who cut your hand off instead of your head?

Sounds to me like The Taliban wants Obama to fail.

Somebody ping Newt Gingrich and David Frum.

Woo hoo. There will be hell to pay now.

That reminds me, isn't the Marxist Imbecile in Chief supposed to have a 'team' (army) of 300 advisors advising him?

Not one of them suggested to him that maybe, just maybe, he was - gasp! - wrong on this?

Or maybe one or two did, and he ignored them. Or they're all 'yes' men and women. I'm guessing the latter.

I'm thinking he's intentionally surrounding himself with folks who'll say what he wants to hear, effectively cutting him off from reality. In other words, he's blinding himself.

Just what we need - a blind Pres_ent. How long can this status quo last before something serious gives?

Actually, I think the Taliban wants Zero to succeed. His success is their success! And America's failure.

Real American's will want Zero to fail, the fake American's can't stand the truth.

It's illogical to everyone in the world except liberals, whose mental disorder invariably prevents them from seeing the obvious.

It’s a sad day when the Taliban win a contest of wits against Obama.

I guess Zero’s negotiations with the terrorists has begun.

Round One goes to the Taliban.

Next?

Good. The sooner something 'gives', the sooner this piece of SH&T will be exposed for the abject failure that he is and we can get rid of this coward.
