"Obama was working with Arab intermediaries to establish an unofficial dialogue with Al Qaida long before his election as the 44th U.S. president, according to a report in the upcoming weekly edition of Geostrategy-Direct.com. ShareThis
Al Qaida has offered what has been described as a truce in exchange for a U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to the report."
(snip)
"The president has been aided by several Persian Gulf Arab Muslims with ties to Al Qaida's leadership in Pakistan, they said."

It's not stupidity, it's arrogance.
Thanks for the heads up!
Well said LibertyRocks. The rep from that terrorist organization said he wanted a 4 month truce so O could prove that he was sincere. What is interesting about this time frame is that O put a 4 month hold on all trials at Guantanamo.
Four months would put us at the end of May. So, we will see what kind of proclamation of peace is made by June.
But then, Bid said we’d have an international crisis within 6 months. Maybe they’ll divert a crisis, then make a truce and O gets to save the day, wow.
bttt
Bill Clinton did far worse with China.
Nobody cared then.
Even if Afghanistan falls, and we get hit,
NOBODY WILL CARE!
From what I can gather, it looks like it is going to be another ‘nanny or tax’ scandal.
In other words...a ‘wag the dog’ scandal.

Perhaps..but with one exception. China had not attacked this country and killed 3000 of our citizens on 911 or thousands of our troops during the last 8 years.
There are millions of Americans, who will care very much if Obama did this before he was President...or afterwards for that matter!
We don’t want a false ‘peace’ with Al Qaeda!!
SCENE:
[0 by hisssssself and the whole of team AQ, all with baseball bats at the ready, face each other in a dark dead-end alley.]
0: “OK. I am going to put down my bat now, see? OK? (big smile)
AQ: “OK.” (snarky and much bigger smile)
happy to know I ma not the only one who thinks and feels like I do
I am happy to know that I am not the only one who thinks and feels like I do
>>>China had not attacked this country and killed 3000 of our citizens on 911 or thousands of our troops during the last 8 years
China fights by proxy just like Iran does.
Who do you think Iran learned it from?
>>>There are millions of Americans, who will care very much if Obama did this before he was President...or afterwards for that matter!
But they dont care about who is feeding them bilge over the airways.
We are fighting the wrong enemy.
We cant beat our enemies abroad until we deal with the ones within our borders who are in control of our media.
Until then, truth simply doesn’t matter.
yes I remember that conversation and yet again I agree with you.
What is going on is truly a shame
Some information concerning Islamic truce’s: Hudna and Tahdiya.
The two words we need to look at are hudna, and tahdiya.
The difference between the two Arabic terms is substantial. Hudna means “truce,” which is more concrete than tahdiya - “a period of calm” - which Hamas often uses to describe a simple cease-fire.
In traditional Islamic thought, a hudna is negotiated between an Islamic entity and a non-Islamic entity, but it can be reversed the moment the Islamic side has gained sufficient strength to resume fighting. Nevertheless, a hudna implies recognition of the other party’s actual existence, without acknowledging its legitimacy.
A tahdiya has less standing than a hudna. Khaled Mashaal, Hamas’ leader, and his deputy in leadership, Musa Abu Marzouq, elaborated in recent months their interpretation of a tahdiya. In an interview with Al-Jazeera (April 26, 2008), Mashaal clarified that for Hamas, a tahdiya is “a tactic in conflict management and a phase in the framework of the resistance [meaning all forms of struggle].” He added that it “is not unusual for the resistance to escalate sometimes and to retreat a bit sometimes as the tide does .The tahdiya creates a formulation that will force Israel to remove the siege and if it happens it will be a remarkable achievement .We are speaking of a tactical tahdiya .As long as there is occupation, there is no other way but resistance.”
Believe me, I know what you are saying and agree with much of it....I just haven’t given up on the American people yet. It seems futile right now for sure. The democrats and the media have become an Obama cult and it is hard to reprogram ‘cultists’!
I wonder which one Obama is ‘negotiating’? They both sound pretty bad for the US and Israel!
Thanks for the info.
The media will proclaim a “new way” that Obama has healed the terrorists.
The rest of us will call it treason. And be ignored.
This best not be true.
What kind of “scandal” did Woodward indicate if any?
That’s probably what will happen. Then the consequences will come back and bite us after he leaves office and the next president can be blamed.
I don’t trust Woodward as far as San Clemente ... we know the democrap criminal enterprise is good at floating a ‘scandal that could bring down the administration’ while the far greater criminal activity of the demcorats and their leadership go below the ‘media driven radar’. I look for the ‘scandal’ to be about some bimbo he has shuffled off to Bermuda or the Bahamas. You know the media sycophancy will play the part they are instructed to play.
