Peace, love and sharia law.

ISLAMABAD —

The Afghan Taliban on Wednesday called upon U.S. President-elect Barack Obama to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and usher in an ‘‘era of peace’’ in the world. ‘‘We want him (Obama) to change the policies of President Bush. He could end the years-long war by withdrawing U.S. and allied troops from Afghanistan, ‘’ Qari Mohammad Yusuf Ahmadi, spokesman for the Taliban, told the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic press.
Taliban calling out to Obama, how special.

Obama’s plan was to increase troops in Afghanistan, wasn’t it?

"...He could end the years-long war by withdrawing U.S. and allied troops from Afghanistan..."

... Then the wholesale slaughter can begin again, here as well as in Iraq.

Yep, that’s what he said. For some reason they must not take him at his word.

That's for show. If he can do a little "surge" then claim he's killed Osama, then he can oficially declare the war on terror completed and proceed with the process of dismantling our defenses.

I think the Left are calling for Hussein to remove all troops from Afghanistan and Iraq by Christmas.

The peace of those murdered by Islam. The quiet of an 8th century psychotic break. The unmoving rigor of a seizure.

42 months of peace, followed by the “bowl” judgments, no?

Keeping in mind that they define “peace” as “being in submission to Islam”, then they’re probably right with respect to Obama.

From the linked article:

Obama, in an indirect reference to terrorists, has said that the United States would defeat them. ‘‘To those who tear the world down, we will defeat you,’’ Obama said in his victory speech in Chicago.

Obama will get around to defeating the terrorists right after he stops the oceans from rising.

Was he referring to terrorists, or to anyone who didn't support him?

Just to be clear...see this for Obama's comments:

Obama can usher in 'era of peace,' Taliban says

CNBC's "The Big Idea" Donny Deutsch wants him to give the USA a big hug....see link above post #1.

I think he was referring to either FReepers who deride the opinion of the world,

or Christians, who are not “of the world”, but of God.

He was talking about the Bush Admin.

His definition of “defeat them” actually means sit down and talk...negotiate....sign agreements. And, sadly, I actually think he’ll be successful at that....for a time. And just when the world says “peace” “peace”.....

What would the Taliban know about peace? They’re the ones starting wars.

When reading this, understand that:

Christian “peace” = knowing that God loves you unconditionally
Western “peace” = a state of no violence
Muslim “peace” = worldwide submission to Islam

...when the world says “peace” “peace”...

Then comes sudden destruction.

Thought I would continue that Scriptural Prophecy for those who don't know the next few words.

I've been quoting that one for years...

The “era of peace” is Muslim talk for “become a Muslim and we will not kill you.”

I stand at attention and salute Bush and Cheney for having the guts and wisdom to do what they did over the eight years in office.
Most of the rest on both sides, I would not waste an ounce of piss on, standing over their heads.
