Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln...I think the election just ended.

Zer0’s fault.

But in his speech last night, he said that “we” are making friends of the Tollibahn, and they will come around and be peaceful. ? I guess the Tollibahn did not get the message.

Seven dead for a campaign stunt.

Well, he’s right, the tide has turned. If you like record hight American casualties, Obama is your guy.

[expat1000]

I can’t bring myself to go to the AP site but something tells me they did not mention Biden’s statement that the Taliban is not the enemy.

[oyez]

He also said that "the tide has turned" over the last three years.

Its turned alright. "Sacrifice" comes to my mind.

[ichabod1]

Peace in our time! The Tolly-ban are reasonable pipple!

Just like Henry V. Ask Chris Matthews. Every time I see Chris Matthews on tv, I think they’re showing the Jackass episode on the Animal Planet channel.

Taliban victory spike?

[treetopsandroofs]

"The U.S. president, who is in the midst of a re-election campaign, touted the Navy SEAL raid that killed bin Laden a year ago Wednesday, noting that the operation was launched from a base in Afghanistan."

This is becoming like Lurch's reminder that he was in Vietnam.

(Headline:) TALIBAN KILL 7 IN AFGHAN CAPITAL AFTER OBAMA VISIT

(Subhead:) "With friends like this, who needs enemies?" -- Hamid Karzai

[Leep]

I guess Obama got out safe then?

[gandalftb]

There are credible reports that Afghan Army units will switch over to the Taliban as soon as we cease military operations.

That’s what they did after the Russians left.

BTW, AQ appears to be gone from Afghanistan and leaving Pakistan. There is a growing hatred for all Arabs for having invited so much death and destruction to the Pahktun.

That explains why AQ is heading for Syria and Yemen en masse. AQ believes that the Syrian regime will fail and Iran’s influence fade away.

Given Syria’s location, it would be an ideal platform for AQ and the Muslim Brotherhood that they are loosely affiliated with. The Muslim Brothers are tied to Zawahiri’s AQ and the UBL faction has an uneasy partnership.

Did the O Reelection Team give the Tolleybahn a copy of the video as a “recruiting tool”?

[jag.drafting]

“President Barack Obama left Afghanistan on Wednesday, targeting a foreigners’ housing compound with a suicide car bomb and militants disguised as women in an assault that killed at least seven people.”

Am I still asleep or does this article imply that BO targeted a foreigner’s house?
