The loony left derided the practice in Iraq of paying fighters to switch sides. But they weren't just given money and allowed to do whatever they wanted, it was actually part of a larger program, I think, the Sons of Iraq, etc. And I think to some extent it was initiated by the Iraqis themselves. I've seen no reporting that indicates the Taliban are interested in switching sides and fighting Al Qaeda.

So what happens when you stop paying the Taliban or do you plan to pay them forever?

So another words, we’re going to fund terrorism?

This child thinks that if you throw enough money around, the terrorists will become fine upstanding citizens.

What’s Obama’s explanation of Osama Bin Laden then?

The guy was educated in the West just like someone else we know. He had a decent lifestyle, some would agree was a lot better than many people on planet earth.

Both of them hate the U.S., and want to humble it.

God, for all the world this sounds like two birds of a feather.

Tell us Barack, why didn’t financial freedom cause you to moderate toward the West? It might be instructional to know.

This is insane. Bambi thinks he can buy the Taliban the way he bought blacks in this country...with promises of government money. Every so often he has to come out and hand them a few thousand dollars (such as in Detroit the other day) and he thinks this will be the same.

The difference is that US blacks, even in Detroit, are not killing women for not covering their hair, killing girls for going to school and teachers for teaching them, converting male children into human bombs after using them for sex, and generally destroying civilization.

But Obambi doesn’t give a flying you know what about the Afghanis, and as for us, he’s hoping we will have a humiliating defeat. Which, thanks to him, we are having right now.

Yeah, this will work out great—just like it did when we tried to bribe the thugs in Faluja. They will take our $$, us it to buy weapons to kill our troops, grow even more poppies for heroin, and laugh their a$$es off at our naivete. Even the Russians weren’t this stupid.

The Bozo opened his smart mouth & arrogantly made a decision. “It was Obama who insisted in March and again last month that this was a ‘war of necessity’ and must be fully resourced rather than looking at what we really have at stake in Afghanistan.”

He stepped in it, now he's in over his head & he doesn't know what to do. He'd better man up & realize that this isn't Chicago 'thug land' where you bribe your way to get anything you want. It's a real war - our troops are dying & we have a community organizer in charge.

Why don’t we just take over the international heroin trade?

Gee, such original thinking by The Won.

He doesn’t realize the way the USA has convinced other countries to reach agreements with us for the past 50+ years is to PAY THEM MONEY.

Brilliant idea!

I don't see a problem. This strategy has worked marvelously well for Democrats in Detroit and most other major cities in America. The blacks and other minorities are now all bitter-ender supporters of Liberal politicians and firmly glued to The Liberal Plantation, despite their forged chains.

All that's needed to do after that in Afghanistan is organize the "dead vote" and give out "Obama Stash" money and the Liberals will be in power in Afghanistan forever!
