First Obama and Biden wanted to work with what they called the "moderate Taliban." Even the Taliban thought that was ridiculous. And it was -- sort of like a chaste prostitute. The Taliban does not share Western values, goals, objectives. The Taliban's playbook is the qur'an and its stated aims.
The whole idea of a moderate Taliban or a moderate Islam is false, and Obama knows it. So now, according to Biden, the Taliban is not our enemy at all.
Never mind their role in 9/11. Never mind their hosting al-Qaeda camps and working with al-Qaeda.
It amounts to surrender, to prostration before the jihadist enemy.
Now, we know old Joe is none too bright, but here Bolton explains: this was no gaffe.
Bolton Says Biden's Taliban Statement Wasn't Gaffe Newsmax December 21
Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton said Tuesday that Joe Bidens statement that the Taliban is not America's enemy in Afghanistan was not a gaffe, but instead the vice president was articulating what the White House strategy is. Biden made his remarks in a recent Newsweek interview, but the Obama administration is saying they were taken out of context.
I dont think this is a gaffe by Joe Biden I think he is articulating what the White House strategy is I think they know exactly what they are trying to do, Bolton told Fox News Greta Van Susteren. They are trying to redefine the terrorist threat to be a limited group of al-Qaida people along the Afghan-Pakistan border.
They are going to redefine Taliban away from that they are going to ignore Taliban in the Arabian Peninsula, and al-Qaida in Iraq, and al-Qaida in North Africa, Bolton said. And theyre going to say its just that one little thing: Weve killed Osama

My loathing of these people knows no bounds. They are selling out my brothers and sisters who fought and died to defeat the enemy.
Biden is putting the very best face on it for himself that he can, you know. He really wants to be accepted as a Dhimmi, and not risk being sent to the ranks of the kufir.
Shari’a law is very unforgiving of those whom they pronounce as kufir. But the Dhimmi, they are permitted to enjoy some small freedoms in the Caliphate.
It is like negotiating with the crocodile so you may be eaten last.
So is Bolton siding with Joe? If so he’s not deserving of the respect that people have given him.
He’s not. Read the article.
How do you get that Bolton’s siding with Biden? His comments indicate a disgust and grave concern for this policy.
Hardly. Guess I am struggling with how you can assume that Bolton would agree with Plugs.
Sometimes you have to wonder about a people who elect Joe Biden, but living in Maryland I know what it is trying to defeat a Democrat in a state ruled by Democrats.
Zombies is probably an apt description.
Okay, reads a bit different second time around.

We knew in 2007 Obama was a crypto Islamo-Commie closeted homosexual non-natural-born-citizen.The key is that John Brennan's Analysis Corp. accessed Obama's passport file, no doubt to sanitize the details of the 1981 trip to Pakistan.
John Brennan was subsequently Obama's first pick for Director of Central Intelligence.
Biden's contribution was to isolate and neutralize Larry Sinclair.
The current Obama initiative Operation Arab Spring has removed secular regimes and replaced them with Islamist ones.
Algeria and Syria are under pressure. Egypt and Libya are done deals.
Newt has named Bolton his likely pick--a key to Newt's clear anti-Islamist, pro-America policy.
Guess you got a fair number of responses. No, Bolton is definitely one the good guys.
Guess I have to learn to re-re-read closely before responding. I did a quick skim and just flashed on the one sentence.
If I know who the subject guy/gal is, I’ll take the headline and do the same thing sometimes. Sometimes gets me in trouble too.
Well glad I’m not the only one ... LOL
