Wow: Obama administration says “Taliban must take legitimate role” in Afghanistan
The Gateway Pundit ^ | January 22, 2010, | Jim Hoft

For all that our boys have fought and died for, we’re now giving legitimacy to the same enemy we went there defeat? Imagine how our troops overseas must be feeling about the news that their Commander in Chief wants to legitimize the very enemy they’re trying to defeat. Sad…

NY Times - The United States recognizes that the Taliban are now part of the political fabric of Afghanistan, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said here on Friday, but the group must be prepared to play a legitimate role before it can reconcile with the Afghan government.

That means, Mr. Gates said, that the Taliban must

You know, in the picture with the Saudi king, Obama was really on his way to kneeling before Abdullah stopped him.

This just proves Obama’s an angry Muslim. He is angry at what he perceives as America’s unholy assault on Islam.

I wonder when anyone will examine those reporters who probably worked arm-in-arm Hasan.......

hey, I don’t think official “journalistic ethics” (I know, an oxymoron if every there was one) requires protecting a “source” who is a mass murderer???

Supposedly a journalist is not obligated to protect a source who lies, who perpetrates a fraud on the public, and certainly not one who goes on to commit mass murder......

Need to turn up the heat on WaPo, demanding that the public be informed in all details of any contact between WaPo reporters and Hasan, any so-called “information” he may have provided etc.

let’s all look at this: IF indeed the WaPo reporters had any contact at all with Hasan, they are now part of the sordid STORY of Hasan slithering through Walter Reed and then getting posted to Ft. Hood..... “what did those reporters know and when did they know it??” did they have any knowledge of his jihad beliefs? hard to belief he would have left them out of it if he was giving depraved lectures within professional medical settings........

WaPo and its reporters must be publicly bludgeoned to either ‘fess up with all details on Hasan, or else to swear up and down that they are see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil..... and then the slightest evidence of their contacts with Hasan would blow up in their lying faces.

Dana Priest was the lead reporter on the Walter Reed story. She got in a brief piece on the Hasan killings and then she just disappeared from the pages of the WarshPost for a couple of months.

She's since shared a billing on a couple of very small stories.

There seems to have been four WarshPost reporters on top of the Walter Reed deal. Much of their work consisted of simple interviews with patients, and not so simple interviews with un-named staff people.

Given that their work focused on the outpatient mental health operation, as did Hasan's, it is absolutely inconceivable that the "posties" didn't come across Hasan!

I complained to Post management about their problem in covering Hasan and that's when Dana got her plug pulled. At the moment I do believe the Post management thinks the story is kind of disappearing which is why Dana got to sneak back in with a story on something else.

Joe Stalin would have handled her by sending her to the "front" ~ which, in this case, would be the grave sites in Haiti.

Hmmm?

Anyway, it's highly likely that Secretary Gates KNOWS what his problem is and is taking actions to make sure he doesn't become a bigger issue.

Sigh...

He said it while he was running, after they threatened him January 21st of last year, October and December of last year as well.

Remember in March, when he and Biden were running around on this and even the Taliban said “WTH is moderate Taliban, no such thing”.

Welcome to FR.

Not seeing the surprise here, this lametard jack squat administrations, as with most lametard liberal idiots, have long been giving terrorist and terrorist supporting groups and organization a poltical voice.....simply another offshoot of their appease and dialogue strategy of allegedly ending political violence and conflict. Bottom line, it don;t work, but as par, they continue on in their unicorn and rainbow dreams thinking.
