WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has ordered his national security team to investigate reports that U.S. allies were responsible for the deaths of as many as 2,000 Taliban prisoners of war in Afghanistan. Obama told CNN in an interview that aired Sunday that if the United States violated international norms, he wants to know about it. He also says he will make a decision how to proceed after he has all the facts

[Nachum]

The list, ping

[omega4179]

The less 0 knows the better.

Prisoners of war? What war?

[Sine_Pari]

To have a docile and compliant military it must be cleansed; by any means possible. Let the cleansing begin.

Regards.

“Prisoners of war? What war?”

I guess they won’t be “talking to us in NYC with their attorneys” after all...

[svcw]

Well, we can’t take prisoners, so they kill’m.
Barry needs to make up his mind.

[John123]

He also says he will make a decision how to proceed after he has all the facts

Watch him set up Bush and Cheney for this...

[Ranger Drew]

Exactly!

What is a soldier to do these days? Take prisoners and Zero wants to read them their (non-existent) rights, then turn them loose to kill us all again.

Take no prisoners and show no mercy and Zero wants to try us for war crimes.

It's a wonder we can even field an army under today's conditions of warfare.

[John123]

He also says he will make a decision how to proceed after he has all the facts

Actually, when the election campaign for 2012 comes... watch Obama pull out all the stops in a desperate attempt to paint the GOP as murderers and con men...

[laxcoach]

two points.

First, our soldiers do not commit mass homicides and put the bodies in mass graves. It is disgusting that the President is making noise like it is possible. They do kill people who shoot at them. What happens to the bodies? dunno or care.

Second, if given a choice between a military that shoots until the enemy is dead and a military that administers Miranda rights: I choose shoot until everyone is dead.

Back to the first point, I keep up to date on the news and the first I hear of this allegation is from a President? More distractions maybe.

[Popman]

If US Allies were the ones who possibly did this, why is he investigating the US military ?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Looks like we could see an apology to the Taliban during the 7th Inning stretch of the All Star game.

[yldstrk]

this was reported back when it happened, not 2000 deaths, effing taliban in the hands of its enemy overwhelmed by the exigencies of war. if Bambi has the ability to find facts, the facts will be politicized and God help us.

[johniegrad]

ordered his national security team to investigate reports that U.S. allies were responsible for the deaths of as many as 2,000 Taliban prisoners of war in Afghanistan

So the allegation is that ALLIES were responsible and he wants to investigate the UNITED STATES military?????

[Eagles6]

And IF this happened what could our few SF Troops then on the ground have done about it?

It would be muslims killing muslims, that's what they do when they aren't killing Infidels. Remember-all cultures are superior to the Judeo-Christian West.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I wonder how far this imbecile is going to push the military? The second question is related to the first-how far will the military be pushed by this buffoon and his clowns? He is more interested in prosecuting our own soldiers than defeating an enemy.

[canuck_conservative]

U.S. allies were responsible for the deaths of as many as 2,000 Taliban prisoners of war

i.e., 2000 less creeps in the world

Where's the problem?

[Sine_Pari]

They will be pushed as far as the Constitution allows them to be pushed.

Regards.

[kromike]

I smell a set-up.

Now that Jacko is off the front page, The First Thug is trying to push for a major distraction with "Thug-gate": Cheney, Bush, the CIA, etc. are all harassed with torture allegations. By having a bogus story about a mass grave up front & center, The First Thug can claim "Hey, I don't want this" meanwhile whispering in Holder's ear to file charges of treason against Bush & Cheney.

The thing though is that this is desperation; Ears knows he's a failure and he's not loved as much anymore. Not to worry, though: The battered-wife-MSM and the abused-children-Black Community will love him more than ever.

[Utilizer]

Hmmm. This mooselimb 'baker' is shooting at Me. If I take him prisoner, there is a good chance Obambi's elites will decide that he has all the rights of a U.S. citizen, and will promptly be provided a free lawyer to sue the life outta Me. If I send him to his 'god', no further problems!

Unless Obambi's goons arrest Me for 'unreasonable force' -hey, it's a BATTLEFIELD, numnutz!

[driftdiver]

And he’ll use taliban as witnesses. heck he’ll bring osama over in air force one to testify against Bush

[kromike]

My thoughts exactly (Post #20).

[Islam=Murder]

I’m “ordering a review” of Omoslem.

[kromike]

Something I'll never see: President Barack Obama has ordered his national security team to investigate reports that his birth certificate is a fake and that he's not a legal citizen of the U.S. Obama told CNN in an interview that aired Sunday that if he violated U.S. laws, he wants everyone to know about it. He also says he will make a decision when to resign after we have all the facts...

[Popman]

I remember this event. It was not 2000 more like under 20 slugs died

Looks like Obama setting someone up

[armymarinemom]

Mr. Obama doesn’t care that they lie they lie they lie.

[John123]

Sure... at times like this... I like Saracuda's decision to resign as Gov. so she can attack Obama full time...

(cumon... admit it... nobody is better at castigating political enemies at the podium than our Sarah!) :)

[Tupelo]

As Beck so often says, “Don't watch what this administration says they are doing. Watch what the other hand is doing.”
This just might be one of those moments. There seems to be evidence of illegal activity in the Walpin case. Maybe that or something I cannot see at this time. I don't see this story going very far, but it could be a great distraction for the next 6 months or so.

[ninonitti]

If US Allies were the ones who possibly did this, why is he investigating the US military ?

Because it has been reported that while the actual shooting was done by Afghan allies while the 3,000 prisoners were being hauled fron Kunduz to Sheberghan prison US personnel ordered the Afghans to dispose of the bodies in mass graves.

An investigation would clear our people....right?

[Kickass Conservative]

We have always been at war with Eastasia...

[combat_boots]

1st the apologies.

then the punishment.

By cracky, if 0bama has to kill a bunch of people to get this to happen, he’ll do it.

Alinsky dedicated “Rules for Radicals” to Satan.
Hillary and 0bama are followers of Alinsky.
Using other, multiple data points from law to finance to babies to broken promises, it is logical to conclude that if not outright followers of Satan, they are at least favorably disposed to him.

[Bahbah]

What in the hell are “international norms?”

[combat_boots]

“I wonder how far this imbecile is going to push the military?”

No firing at burqas
Fewer vests
Less armor on vehicles
Miranda rights in multiple languages
Outright release of known terrorists and commanders
More troops into Afghanistan

There is only one conclusion: 0bama has to create the military loss perception to win elections, and killing troops is just a bonus—especially if those troops might vote against him or his ideas.

Those who remember what the enemedia was willing to do to American fighting men and women, e.g., Cronkite’s ‘the war in VietName is lost,’ know EXACTLY what this is.

[BerryDingle]

Won’t do him any good, he’ll just keep firing security team members until they come up with the answers he wants to hear.

[Popman]

Maybe I am mixing up two different events but I thought this was about taliban prisoners who died of heat stroke during transportation and were buried in a mass grave

[WilliamofCarmichael]

State controlled media (SCaM) Headline?

CNN's "Tailwind" charges to be re-investigated
Obama: DoD To "Scour" Southeastern Laos
"Disputing CNN probably biased," said White House. Obama to apologize to CNN

(He ran out of countries. Now it's the MSM.)

[darkwing104]

I find it amazing such allegations come out of nowhere...Looks like the one needs more distractions.

[Costumed Vigilante]

On the sacred oath of his Hawaiian birth certificate, he promised to get us out of Afghanistan, right?

A verbis ad verbera

[JamesA]

Wouldn’t it be something if the Generals in charge said, “Pack it up boys, we’re going home to settle an account.”

[SlowBoat407]

">

[JimRed]

Pobably killed years ago by the Russians. Bet the forensics will be curtailed due to cost, so they can make believe out troops did it!

[ArmstedFragg]

I smell a set-up, too. I see it as the beginning of an effort to delegitimize the war in Afghanistan as a prelude to bailing out of it. He's discovered that all that talk about fighting the wrong war in Iraq has pushed him into actually having to fight this one, which offends his peacenik sensibilities. He's looking for an excuse to run for it.

[ninonitti]

I think it's the same one.

What I've heard is that they surrendered to the Northern Alliance and somewhere along the road to Sheberghan the 200 to 300 prisoners in each shipping container started dying of suffocation and heat stroke. They then took out those that were still alive and machine gunned the survivors and buried the whole lot.

Stories differ on whether US personnel were present. I believe that's what Obammy is looking at.

Whatever the truth is I think this is the stuff George Washington warned us about in his farewell address.

[ninonitti]

Ogoatse?

[ninonitti]

LOL thanks for the warning
