When Bush was President, the Taliban was in Pakistan. Not much Bush could do to them there, so the “he did not ask questions” theory is pretty mindless inasmuch as there was nothing for Bush to do in Afghanistan at the time. Now the Taliban is in Afghanistan. Maybe they aren’t afraid of Obama, as they were of Bush.
Not only are they not as afraid, they know they can make this pansy ass president quit if they put up any kind of resistance whatsoever. That’s why they have amped up their resistance. What an embarrassment.
