CBS News Reporter Slams Obama Over Taliban Lie
Arutz Sheva ^ | 12/10/12 | Elad Benari

Posted on 10/13/2012 11:06:05 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

CBS News and "60 Minutes" reporter Lara Logan has lambasted the Obama administration for pushing what she called the "major lie" that the Taliban has been weakened in Afghanistan by the U.S. military.

According to a Fox News report, Logan spoke last week to a crowd of about 1,100 at last the Better Government Association annual luncheon in Chicago. During the speech she accused the administration of downplaying the number of Al Qaeda operatives in Afghanistan to support its rush to leave.

She also claimed Washington acts as apologists for the Taliban by downplaying their links to Al Qaeda and the strength of their organization.

Logan also criticized the Obama administration over its handling of the attack that killed four Americans in Libya.

“Terrorism has not gone away (in afghanistan). Terrorism has increased.”

In other words, o’bidens have been completely ineffective. Four f’n years and they’ve made it WORSE.

You know, having dozens of filthy savages forcing various parts of themselves into one’s nether regions does focus the mind. Good on Lara. Prayers to her.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. That’s racism. She had dozens of proud descendants of dessert nomads and the peoples they conquered and forced various parts of themselves into the nether regions of their great grandmothers, in keeping with their proud cultural traditions shoving parts of themselves into her nether regions. She should have been happy to have partaken in this time-honored custom, and mourned the fact that they didn’t get her up the duff, and then converted to Islam out of gratitude. What’s the matter with the little trollop. Didn’t she enjoy herself? If she didn’t want that sort of attention, she should have put on a burkha./SARC! Very SARC!

So sorry for the mispelling. I should have said “laurel,” a plant that Ancient Greeks used to make wreaths to annoint those they saw as deserving honor. If you thought I would remain silent after you assumed that I didn’t know as much as a journalist about Afghanistan (since you must have assumed I was never there) you were wrong. Here’s the deal: I agree with her in this argument. While it was the right thing to do to attack the nation that sponsored an attack on us the last few years of “Meals on Wheels” only seems to help a culture that wants us dead and will turn on us once we leave. Frankly now I think we should have just gone in, wrecked the place, and told them “If we ever see something coming from here again we’ll be back and it will be worse.” However, know how many folks here on FR think I knew as soon as Logan’s comments came out it would be comment after comment saying how she’s the best thing since sliced bread. Fact is she’s not. I’d say “Thanks for your honest views about Afghanistan. I know that you risk your standing at CBS for making them. Now stay away from my family.”

IF, and I repeat, IF, the MSM EVER spoke the truth and did not cover for this guy. Actually TOLD THE TRUTH, he would not get 10% of the vote in November. But, as I said, BIG IF. Meaning: never will happen.

On the bright side, it was Legitimate Rape so she couldn’t get pregnant.

She failed to receive that honor from the holy Mujahideen, as they trilled their tongues in joy over their moment of pleasure./s

CBS?
She won’t be there for long. The CBS newsroom will not look kindly on one of their own “dissing” Ubama at a time when they are doing everything they can to get him re-elected. Logan is toast around there.

Well, he would get at least 12%, anyway.
And never sell short the stupidity of white liberals, not to mention the selfishness of the "free sh!+" armies of Democrats - - the bums, deadbeats, and parasites who comprise the party base - - who simply couldn't care less about character, integrity, honesty, etc., as long as their Democrat politicians keep delivering "free sh!+" in exchange for their votes.

As Dear old Dad always said, "Once the parasites outnumber the hosts, it's all over. The Democrats win."

I wonder what they’ll do to her after handing her the pink slip?

Lol. I doubt she has any designs on your family.

But in cold hard dailight, since you seem to toss your own Afghanistan service into the pot: it’s entirely possible that her public stand now carries more actual effect than your service under Obama ROEs.

Knew, even by the oblique headline, it concerned Lara.

I revere this woman.

Islam is a war plan.
