President Obama is prepared to accept some Taleban involvement in Afghanistans 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.

led by Vice-President Joe Biden, that the Taleban do not pose a direct threat to the US ................................. Ah Ha! I knew it, Biden is really running the country, just like Cheney did! The Taliban aren’t a threat to us, but their guests are.
I am in agreement there, no point missed.
Still THE most repressive in modern history. Way to go, Biden and BO.
It aint the United States anymore....its gone from waffle to wobble.
Why is anyone surprised at how The One makes his decisions and where his empathy lies?
In the words of a famous bumper sticker “Obama, your proctologist called he found your head”.
Obammy has lost his head, if he ever had one??????????????
Then let’s pack it up and get out. What a miserable smack in the face of our troops. Every time I think I have reached the limit of my utter contempt for these folks they come up with another trigger.
!#?%#!*&!# moron!
The Taliban encouraged Al Qeada to train in Afghanistan!! The Taliban is one of the most represive political entities in modern history. This is nothing less than surrender.
Who knew that we would miss Jimmy Carter?
(Or that Hillary Rodham would have likely been a better, and even more pro-American president than is Marxist Obama?)
.
I just heard this on the radio — and while horrified, I was not surprised one bit at Zero’s reported stance re the Taliban.
When’s the next 9/11?
Obama was brainwashed into thinking he can do Lenin’s gamble and get the world messiah ovation for staying out of war and yet winning against the evil “kaiser”, as if the Chinese and Russians or Euros would do the job for him.
This guy still cannot figure that the Russians have plaid the game and are playing him... he’s such an idiot of Ghandian proportion, wining through pseudo peace and illegal “consensual rape” for appeasement.
Welcome to the liberal world of illegal sacrifices and admiration for arrogant public suicides in the manner of suicide bomber chic.
Interestingly the illegal alien presidency without birth certificate is all the rage for the Rinos, whose Vichyism is becoming daily devotion.
Unless you're a tyrant.
Oui.
This is what terrorism looks like when it is successful.
.
Yes, freedom is desired. But why won’t the Afghanis fight for it? Or is that our responsibility?
I don’t mind giving them a helping hand, but this is way beyond that.
Well...he is recognized far and wide as the gun industry’s Salesman of the Year.
I nominate him for “Taliban Recruiter of the Year”.
Shouldn’t be hard to walk away with that hardware, no one even comes close.
Lost a friend Sunday in Afghanistan, Sgt Roback (363rd EOD CO) died while working on an IED. I am in Germany prepping to deploy to Iraq In November with this coward as the CIC, please pray for us!
Gotcha ...and you’re right. I personally think America needed Obama and his minions to do what they’re doing in hopes what they do will wake up those Americans who’ve become complacent ... true, there will be those who want to get whatever they can from the government as a handout. Fortunately if and when those that know how to survive ... will. One of my favorite movies is “The Postman” with Kevin Kostner ... or “Red Dawn” ....
Obama should read “A Thousand Splendid Suns” and get back to us on this.....Where is the feminist outrage in this country??!! Yeah, right.....
