LOL!

Taliban -

Hussein II’s Chicago Cult-Church had to have members that were aware 911 was about to happen

Note you never see any photographs of Hussein II on 911

There are great differences between the Sunni Iraqis and these taliban..

1. Many of the sunni insurgents were former Ba’athists and had no place to go besides the insurgency, either because of hatred of America or for profit motives

2. Many of those Sunni insurgents, even though radical, never came close to the ideals of Al Qaeda. They couldn’t stomach what AQ was doing, and thus turned against them. When they couldn’t fight them alone, most of them turned to the US military and the fledgling Iraqi government for help. On the other hand, the Taliban are hardcore radicals and have been since the early 90’s.

It would have been different had Obama discussed negotiations with other warlords who are opposed to the Taliban in NW Pakistan and Southern Afghanistan, which there are. But, O wants negotiations with the Taliban.

You know the headlines to come:

" U.S. Taliban emissaries kidnapped."

" U.S. Taliban Emmisary Beheaded"

" U.S Government Pays Ransom"

"President Obama Declares War on Pakistan"

"US MArines Given Limited Rules of Engagement and No Armored Vehicles or Tanks"

" Our Goal is to bring them to the Table, Not destroy them! Says Obama"

Deja Vu, Deja Vu.

I believe this is the probable line of what is about to happen.

0bama - “Talking to terrorists good. Listening to Limbaugh bad!”

Is there any doubt now who’s side he’s on?

I absolutely agree in principal that the US government should have a dialogue with the Taliban:

- You can have anything you want this meal, what are your selections? (We have some excellent VA ham - grown on property once owned by Thomas Jefferson.)
- Would you care for a cigarette?
- Would you care to make a statement?
- Blindfold or not?

- Ready on the Right?
- Ready on the left?
- All clear on the firing line.
- Shooters take aim.

(You see where this is going...)

And what the F*%& kind of CinC ever states anything publicly that the press could interpret as ‘we are not winning’?

As least try some spin:
We aren’t progressing as fast as we’d like...
We are facing more difficulties than anticipated...

And I’d bet dollars to donuts that battle for battle we ARE winning - Viet-freakin-nam all over again with this guy.

It is against the Koran for a muslim to make jihad against another muslim. That is why the US will pull out of Iraq, and Afghanistan, cease hostilities against Taliban in Pakistan, and force Israel to free Gaza and a new Palestine in the West Bank, while supporting Syria and Libya and Lebanon.

Well now , does this news convince anyone yet that we need a Million Man March on DC to protest the overthrow of the American government by a Marxist dictator?
No ...I though so ...Talking on here to each other will not help us in the long run.

muslims have been waging jihad against each other forever, so that shouldn’t stop O’Bummer.

-besides, I thought Muzzies didn’t partake of pork, yet look at all the pork in the spendulus plan. What’s that about?

and would give anything to see the United States vanish from the face of the Earth?


Obama and the Taliban share that same goal.

Thanks to 2ndDivisionVet for this one...how appropriate (and sad) for the day in which we find ourselves!

"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."

~Abraham Lincoln, Address Before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois (January 27, 1838)
