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."

The kicker was at the press conference—

One of the media asked 0—”Can you define the term ‘Moderate Taliban’ for us, Sir?”

And 0 said “You know, kind of like me...”

Even the Taliban knows this.

"The Taliban are united, have one leader, one aim, one policy.

Wish we could say the same.

"No one takes Obama seriously."

In other words, he's the perfect American Pres_ent for our enemies.

And the very worst for America and her allies.

Geez, even the Taliban knows 0 is a fool to suggest that there are moderate Taliban. Evil cave men with Kalashnikovs know this but the president of the US doesn’t. That is really really sad.

Chas Freeman was not looking forward to answering questions, I'm sure:
Feinstein said she did not have any concerns over Freeman as of lunchtime Tuesday but that she might change her mind depending on his answers before the intelligence panel.

If Feinstein said this, how much more so the others?

What’s really sad is that he will continue to speak over their heads and speak to imaginary Taliban moderates in a political ploy that he’s trying to wage on the world stage. Sooner or later more and more people will realize that Obama is nothing but a BS/Conman.

There you have it! The Taliban just called Obama illogical. George W was called much worst, but this is in keeping with change and hope and possibly another great defining moment in his presidency. Maybe he should send the Taliban some classic American movies on DVD and a bag of popcorn.

Which proves that even a bunch of primitive, illiterate, sub-human animals are smarter than all the American 'rats combined.

Zero (at State staff meeting): Well, we tried Kumbaya, that didn't work. What else can we try?

Hillary: We haven't tried singing "We Are The World" yet, have we?

Rahm: Well, not yet, but I'm working on a plan to stab knives into a Hammond Organ like Keith Emerson used to

Zero: Hmmmm, not a bad idea ... give it a try. Otherwise, I'm tapped out and gonna hit the sack.

Perhaps because Obama considers himself a “moderate” Marxist?

Maybe Hillary wants to reset overcharge relations with the Taliban?
