How DOES one define a moderate terrorist?

Maybe he could present them with some classic Hollywood flicks on DVD, and some plastic helicopters for the kiddos.

With his track record, we’ll be at war with the Taliban in three weeks.

“Moderate” Taliban? Those are the Taliban who only beat their wives instead of shooting them.

Ask our leaders. We are far too simple to grasp the concept.

Yeah, reach out to any Taliban and let them feel the weapon that will destroy them. Otherwise, if B.0. man tries to negotiate with these barbarians, I’m looking for another country to live in, because this U.S.A. as I know and wore the uniform for is no longer the country I love and cherish!

“Wait. Let me guess. He will invite them for a State dinner and as parting gifts he will give them some APACHE Helicopters, some .50 calibre sniper rifles and some TOWs.”

Dont forget the DVDs!

Thank you for your service. I just hope that your efforts will not be tarnished by the narcissist.

Moderate Taliban?

They are the ones who sharpen the knives to make it quicker when they cut your head off.

Actually, it must be far to nuanced for a simple mind like mine to grasp.

If FDR had reached out to moderate Nazi leaders, World War II would have ended sooner.

DVDs for the Taliban. Inspiring ones like, Friday the 13th, all the Jason movies, Chainsaw Massacres, Grindhouse, SAW, Chuckie, and PSYCHO. Hours and hours of Taliban family entertainment.

My God, we are so screwed and he is in way over his head. I don’t think he has a clue what to do except try to get out of the WH as much as he can. Slacker, loser, IDIOT, not qualified to do much more than be a community organizer. He’s lazy as fk too.

Definitely from Illinois. A Texan knows not to “reach out” to moderate fire ants.

Moderate Taliban? I guess they are the ones who only pluck out your eyes, and cut out your tongue, but let you keep your head.

If zero actually reaches out to the Taliban, that could be our Archduke of Austria moment...
