Barack Obama: Taleban can be involved in Afghanistan future

President Obama is prepared to accept some Taleban involvement in Afghanistan

[NormsRevenge]

He is a fool. (like we needed any confirmation of that, a dangerous fool.)

[FlingWingFlyer]

Of course they can! Somebody needs to shoot the women in the “sports” stadiums there.

Taking Joe Biden’s advice is such a good idea.
History shows how Joe has been right so many times... sarc

[MNJohnnie]

This is what is absolutely insane. Biden, hailed by the Junk Media as the great foreign policy "genius" of the Democrat party was totally wrong on Iraq. Biden's idea of partitioning Iraq was intellectually, strategically, politically and morally moronic. Did not have even a single redeeming feature. Now General Biden thinks we keep following the same Counter Terrorists strategy we are currently pursuing in Afghanistan that is getting record number of NATO troops killed this year. Biden not only wants to continue this failed strategy, he now wants to intensify it!

And for this insane notion the Junk Media is singing Biden's praises as if he were some great military strategist. Someone needs to clue them into the fact that doing more of the same and expecting a different result is a classic definition of insanity.

Next NObama will allow organized crime to participate in Justice Department strategy sessions.

[hinckley buzzard]

Haven't you heard? The Ministry of Information has announced that the Taliban are moderate now and no longer our enemy, so there is really no reason to send additional troops. And we all know from history how coalition governments are highly stable and successful, so this promises to be another example of Obama's brilliance.

Is the friggin bozo in the WH aware that the TALIBAN support the efforts of Osama bin laden and his cowardly terrorist crew and that the TALIBAN are willing to torture women and children, are willing to enslave them and would destroy Afghanistan again, if it ( they) could?

[jveritas]

Mr Obama appears to have been swayed in recent days by arguments from some advisers, led by Vice-President Joe Biden, that the Taleban do not pose a direct threat to the US

One of the most dangerous things that this administration has yet to do. This is a disaster worst than anything we imagine in our worst nightmares.

[org.whodat]

He thinks if you use a small enough white flag it means something else.

[Joiseydude]

And how, praytell, do you tell the difference between the Taliban fighters and al-Qaeda fighters?

[MNJohnnie]

Bowing to the reality that the fundamentalist movement is too ingrained in national culture, the Administration is prepared, as it has been for some time, to accept some Taleban role in parts of Afghanista

Are they really this stupid?

The Taliban did not exist prior to 1991. They are group manufactured mainly by Pakistan Intelligence. They are not "ingrained in the culture". They just happen to be less corrupt then most of the other thugs

Give a choice between bad (Taliban) and worse (Corrupt warlords), the people picked the bad.

[NormsRevenge]

Oh yeah, they have no ill will toward Pakistan either.

ap has this on the news wire

Attacks demonstrate Taliban resurgence in Pakistan

They WILL be when Obozo loses this war.

“President Obama is prepared to accept some Taleban involvement in Afghanistan’s political future”

a.k.a. Surrender.

This disgusting sack of shiite president will get our troops killed.

[mortal19440]

When did General Biden spend his time in the Military? From the former dumbest Man in the Senate to Military Tactician, go figure.

[Windflier]

"Mr Obama’s developing strategy on the Taleban will “not tolerate their return to power”..."

Ooooh.... strong words from The Great and Omnipotent Obama, Lord of the World, and Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

That oughta stop them dastardly Talibans from returning to power!

Seriously - our people need to get the hell out of there before the Quisling in Chief gets more of them killed. He's not in this to win it. Just like every Democrat before him, he's going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

[blondee123]

F’n nuts narcissist! No other words to describe him.
