Thats strange Weve been fighting the Taliban for 9 years in Afghanistan but the Obama Administration recently removed them from the list of terrorist organizations.
Could Team O really be this confused?
US State Department List of Terrorist Organizations
(GRAPH AT LINK)
The Daily Caller reported:
A new State Department report designating terrorist organizations notably excludes one group: the Taliban. The U.S. has been fighting a war in Afghanistan for almost a decade aimed at defeating the Taliban, Taliban members repeatedly have threatened and killed American citizens and lawmakers have increased pressure on State to add the Taliban to the list.
Earlier this summer, a group of congressional Democrats sent a letter to Secretary of State Hilary Clinton urging her to begin the process of categorizing the Taliban as a terrorist group. In June, Sens. Charles Schumer and Kristen Gillibrand of New York and Frank Lautenberg and Robert Menendez of New Jersey proposed legislation that would immediately add the Taliban to the terrorist list.
Yet the State Departments report (due on April 30 but released last week), did not include the Taliban with groups such as al-Qaida, Hamas and the Real Irish Republican Army (RIRA). To qualify, an organization must meet only three criteria: It must be foreign, it must engage in terrorist activity and its activity must threaten the security of the U.S. or its citizens.
It is hard to imagine this agency can see fit to issue a report that doesnt include the Taliban groups, Fred Gedrich, a foreign policy analyst and former State Department employee, told The Daily Caller. They have killed more Americans and conducted more terror attacks on innocent civilians during the past 12 months than any other terror group.
Maybe Team O still believes these guys are moderate. Did they already forget that these so-called moderates planted a car bomb in New York City back in April?
Martha’s Vineyard for Ramadan, I heard. YET ANOTHER Vacation planned, this one for August 19th through 29th.
Don’t forget those rascally Pro-Lifers.
so why they were never on the list? and if that’s true...the title to this post would be incorrect.
If they aren't terrorists, then I'd like 0bamao to personally go meet with them face to face. Let's see if he can keep his head.
also, i’m beginning to think this is a liberal piece released on purpose to point the blame back on BUSH who never put them on the list in the first place.
replaced by anyone attending a tea party rally, right?
color me shocked /s
They probably donated to his campaign...or are now part of SEIU or something...magically Andy Stern will be given a position inside the taliban...LOL
Preparatory to including the Taliban in a power sharing arrangement in Afghanistan so we can declare victory and bring the troops home.
Got that right!
Neither George Bush nor Obama have ever had the Taliban on the Terrorist list.
So saying that the Obama administration removed them is simply not true.
Watch and keep track. Muslim are either Sunni or Shiite. Obama was educated in Sunni and that is where his allegence is. Taliban is Sunni. Iran is Shiite. Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and most of the other Mid East countries are Sunni. Hizbollah is Shiite. Sunni countries will join forces to exterminate the leadership of Iran (Shiite) with support from Obama and Israel eliminating the last stronghold of the Shiite Muslims. Then, and only then, will there be an attempt to make a peace treaty with Israel. Then all yell breaks out.
That’s a very interesting analysis.
I know for a fact that SA and the UAE are very, and now publicly, nervous about Iran. Iran is now a confirmed proxy for Russia and China. To what extent those two countries will back any defense of Iran if either we or the Israelis attack her will be interesting to see.
I imagine that SA has sort of talked all the other Sunnis into believing that the infidels are being recruited to fight against the Shiites as you say, and then afterwards they will kill whatever of the infidels are still there.
“Preparations for forthcoming negotiations. Odumbo is going to give up Afghanistan.”
Bingo. The “surge” created the decent interval. Now is time for the surrender.
I can’t wait for the video of helicopters evacuating the last Americans from the roof top of the embassy in Kabul in October, 2012.
Well, I guess since the Taliban are radical Islamic and terrorism is the natural order of their lives, the State Dept must consider it normal < / s>
HOPE for our enemies( for the first time Michelle is proud of America), CHANGE all allies to enemies, CHANGE all policies that have to do with patriotic Americans, HOPE for terrorists, Code Pink, Ayers, Czars, radical judges, CAIR, MSA and all "57" states, change by playing race care with Black Panthers, some harvard professor and any state that is fighting a border war where 28,000 Mexicans were murdered in the last couple years, and cross border sieve for illegal activities...hope and change, I'll stop now,Tahlebahnie raghead goat muckers are the new saints of the new dhimmi(bulb)Obama administration.
Has this administration played the race card enough yet? More to come on new MSM Al Franken collective re education television news stations
Weird, but unexpected? No.
