Barack Obama: Taleban can be involved in Afghanistan future
Times Online ^ | 10/08/2009 | Tim Reid in Washington

Posted on 10/08/2009 1:11:01 PM PDT by Responsibility2nd

President Obama is prepared to accept some Taleban involvement in Afghanistan’s political future and is unlikely to favour a large influx of new US troops being demanded by his ground commander, a senior official said tonight.

Mr Obama appears to have been swayed in recent days by arguments from some advisers, led by Vice-President Joe Biden, that the Taleban do not pose a direct threat to the US and that there should be greater focus on tackling al-Qaeda inside Pakistan.

Really....besides the dozens of people here who agree with me, even military members that I have spoken to have said that they are against nation building. You might want to educate yourself on Islam.

FROM: TIMES ON LINE....Stephen Collinson

“Officials involved in Obama’s intense Afghan policy review argued that Al-Qaeda poses a grave danger to US interests and the American homeland while the Taliban, though hostile to US forces in Afghanistan, did not.

Posted on another thread ...wanted it here too.

The assessments seemed to differ with the picture of the war painted by US commander General Stanley McChrystal, who asked for up to 40,000 more troops and warned the counter-insurgency against the Taliban could fail without reinforcements.”

Just a minute here. So the Taliban can join in the Afgan Government? So WOMEN will NO LONGER be allowed to go to school. And Burka’s will return . Yeah Zero REALLY is big on WOMEN’s issues.

Gee, the Taliban have been killing our people over there. Are they getting a second chance to be nice? Will Afghan women be shot again at stadiums?

BHO doesn't know anything about history.

I'm sure the Code Pinko Gals, NOW and all the lib female groups will be thrilled to fight for the freedom for all women to pursue their desired careers and independence:

Ohbama .. you're SO forward thinking and tuned in to these vital human rights and women's issues. /S!

NOTE: there are many more photos of Taliban torture out there too excessively vile and despicable to post.

GW Bush liberated 50 million Iraqis, a fact yet to be acknowledged by Obama. We need to lay the wood to him and his fake peace prize ON JUST THAT FACT.

This is about to put Obama within the ambit of the constitutional definition of treason.

I do believe our pretend president is a traitor, first in mind, then in word andnow in deed.

TREASON!

RESIGN OBAMA or face the wrath of the American People!

Tonight 60 Minutes showed the effect of the Taliban on the lifespan of our soldiers assigned to Afghanistan. I can’t find the words to express my disgust at the dithering of our boy president/laureate.
