To date, this is the extent of the 0 White House’s policy of dealing with Islamic fanatics: We’re reaching out! Please, please unclench your fists!

The most powerful drug there is, ego.

Jimmuh Carter strengthened our enemies during his disasterous term in office, I have no doubt that Zero will do so, too. However, in four years from now, we will be able to have a President who will finally have no obstacles to all out war on islammunism. I didn't see GWB nuking the Taliban, and I doubt that McCain would have done so, either.

There was a tali village leader that heard a Marine was stranded alone about 200 meters outside his village. He sent 40 jihadists out to kill or capture the Marine. Shortly, a massive amount of gunfire and explosions could be. This lasted about 10 minutes. One jihadist finally returned to the village all bloodied up.

He says to the leader, “Everyone else is dead! It was an ambush! There were TWO of them!”

I didn’t think the adjective moderate applied to the Taliban...

Obama is a fool and would see his own grandmother down the rode...oh yeah he already did that.

“That would be fantastic! We would have the Taliban right where we want them!”

Thanks. Needed that. I was watching a John Wayne Western movie, too.

We need John Wayne now, and man, we need the cavalry in full on charge, complete with buglar.

President Obama declared in an interview that the United States was not winning the war in Afghanistan and opened the door to a reconciliation process in which the American military would reach out to moderate elements of the Taliban

Moderate elements of the Taliban? WTF are they?

Deep down, I hope this is some sort of misdirection by Zero. I hope he really is doing this to take the Taliban off guard, but I can’t trust Zero.

Taliban moderates. They are the ones who will shoot you in the head, vs cutting your throat with a rusty sword.

Maybe Obama will engage in personal negotiations.

Big surprise.

This presidency is the biggest joke in American history.

Anyone notice Zero appeases everybody? It’s one of the strange nuances besides the hidden marxist zealotry.

He did so in the debates with McCain, Zero was constantly not really taking one side or the other in his arguments-— he won’t stand up for anything appearing too “judgemental” in his feeble p.c. liberal mind.

That’s why he has so many friends, people that have rallied around him, he tends to not engage an issue leaning to hard on one argument or take too strong a side/position lest he perturb too many lightweights who can’t handle criticism or who will feel threatened, it’s how he got his start with the crooks in Chicago. He’s more of an empty motivational speaker and a yes-man. He won’t take a stand, and he won’t make ultimatium’s. Leadership’s out of the question as he hasn’t run a donutshop. But he nods his head like a good boy, that’s all that matters.

Thus his candy-cane conflict mediation textbooks and other liberal b.s. this s.o.b. marinated in for so many years will be used to handle Afghan warrior savages who will only respect us by low-yield nuclear weapons.

He’s a man-child completely in over his head which will be disastrous when this country faces a major crisis. He won’t be able to handle it, mark my words, Zero will misstep and the real world will be knocking on his door, to wake him from his ideologue fantasyland he’s created.

Likewise, this message is completely demoralizing and contradictory to our military, I can’t even begin to state what could be on their minds, but also relieved to know they understand enemies as come in the form of domestic and will do what is necessary when the time comes.

What a great post. So dead on and so scary in its import.
