WASHINGTON -- President Obama says he hopes U.S. troops can identify moderate elements of the Taliban and move them toward reconciliation.

Asked in an interview with The New York Times if the United States is winning in Afghanistan, Obama said "no," while adding "our troops are doing an extraordinary job in a very difficult situation."

"There could be situations -- and I emphasize 'could be' because we haven't made a determination yet -- where, let's say that we have a well-known al-Qaida operative that doesn't surface very often, appears in a third country with whom we don't have an extradition relationship or would not be willing to prosecute, but we think is a very dangerous person," he said.

...yeah, they only beat kids to death with sticks

[ihatedemocrats]

Russia, which has long supplied the Taliban with weapons, has offered to “help” us in Afghanistan, even as it just had our Kyrgyz base shut. Let us see if the Democrats fail to take them up on that offer...

"our troops are doing an extraordinary job in a very difficult situation."

And the situation gets more difficult every passing day with "0" at the helm. Let's just see how difficult it actually gets when their funding is cut, supplies stopped, troops downsized and R&D halted. Difficult indeed.

Obama Hopeful About Efforts Against Taliban

Obama Wants to Share Tent, Smoke Peace Pipe With Taliban

idiot collaborator communisty organizer

[BigFinn]

His next move is to have negotiations with Bin Laden. Maybe they can share a nice dinner of Celery Soup, Wild Mushroom Crisps, Steelhead Salmon with Citrus sauce, Crispy Spinach, Toasted Saffron Couscous Pearls, Baby Iceberg lettuce with Maytag Bleu Cheese and Yogurt ranch dressing and for dessert, Milk Chocolate velvet cake.

Usual Wednesday night fare at the White House now and Bin might take a liking to Zero. Dip-plomacy... with the emphasis on dip.

"Hope is not strategery, and change is not a tactic."

I think 52 percent of the idiots voters in this country would disagree with you....

The moderate elements among the Taliban are their goats.
