Yep. Nothing like dealing with terrorists. It makes things so much easier, don’t you think?

An armed assault on the White House by Taliban’s who just arrived as refugees and adding a few guys let loose from Gitmo. Complete with rpg’s smuggled across the Mexican border. A few rounds of mustard gas thrown it..it sounds like a script for 24.
I wonder if the WH is ready for a ground assault.

I'm going to have to find a better dictionary.

This version of "unclench" doesn't agree with mine.

So the Taliban can recognize craziness. Now they just need to look inward.

" Yet 53% of U.S. voters thought this was a good idea. "

Patience my friend, Obama and Hillary have to be relentless and keep asking pretty please over and over in a manner that overwhelms them in a shock-n-awe type situation. They'll soon fold.

This liberal (blonde) talk show host person on O’Reilly yesterday made the claim that if we simple call the WOT something else, it will reduce the recruitment of terrorists - stupid is as stupid does.

I’m confused, is that the good or bad kind of crazy? Since intent and outcome are normally inverse in the liberal world, this could be just a little too much for those poor rag heads. They could laugh themselves to death. /sarc?

Naive fools. There is no such thing as "moderate" Taliban.

That said, there probably are tribal and village leaders we could pry away from the Taliban if we can make them a better offer and give them security. But it has to be done quietly and competently, as Petreus did in Anbar, not the way these damfools are trying to go about it.

U.S. counterterrorism specialists are taking seriously a threat Tuesday by Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud to attack the White House and “amaze” the world.

A previous article had it as "Washington", not the "White House". Seems more likely, and more scary.

Hillary even promised to wear a special designer-pantsuit peach colored burkha while she roams around the Taliban areas asking “take me to your moderate Taliban leaders!”

It’s a strange world when the Taliban, Hugo Chavez and the Russians are the comic relief.
