Taliban say Obama's call on moderates "illogical"
Reuter ^ | Tue Mar 10, 2009 | Reporting by Sayed Salahuddin; Editing by David Fox

Posted on 03/10/2009 5:27:46 PM PDT by the anti-liberal

Afghanistan's Taliban on Tuesday turned down as illogical U.S. President Barack Obama's bid to reach out to moderate elements of the insurgents, saying the exit of foreign troops was the only solution for ending the war.

snip

"The Taliban are united, have one leader, one aim, one policy...I do not know why they are talking about moderate Taliban and what it means?,"

"If it means those who are not fighting and are sitting in their homes, then talking to them is meaningless. This really is surprising the Taliban."

LOL. The Taliban is mocking Plugs and Ears. Or can we just call the team “EarPlugs”

True! But the so-called deathwatch MSM will let this go buy with nary a mention.

Duh, even the Taliban knows there's no such thing as 'moderate Taliban.'<<<<<

Apparently "us" extremist and the Taliban are the ONLY two groups that know there are no "moderate" Taliban. That's like cold fire, hot ice, intelligent Obama supports, and Santa Clause. They don't exist except in the minds of Democrats and the MSM (excuse me I repeat myself).

Thanks Democrats (or is it 'Democratics'?)

Close to the mark to call them demonrats.

I love this line: “If it means those who are not fighting and are sitting in their homes, then talking to them is meaningless.”

I never imagined that I would ever miss Bush so much. The only way Obama could be dumber is if he lost the ability to mouth sound-bites from a TelePrompTer.

I thought this was the Taliban saying that Obama was wrong to be critical of McCain during the campaign. Zing!

The Taliban tell the Obamessiah that “moderate Taliban” is an oxymoron. Maybe if they were Harvard graduates they would understand the Obamessiah’s nuances.

Moderate Taliban can only be found sitting behind the desk in the oval office.

Shock and awe - Obama-style.

Say something so stupid that the enemy is left at a loss for words.
