WaPo Headline doesn't quite match Reality (Again) "O" is a Hero
Washington Post ^ | WaPo Foreign Service

Posted on 02/20/2010 9:22:45 AM PST by 4Speed

Title of Article "U.S.-Pakistan cooperation has led to capture of Afghan Taliban insurgents"

Yet in the Body of the report, maybe the REAL reason for the cooperation shows up...

"Subtle signs of a shift among Pakistani officials have occurred in recent months, as the Taliban's Pakistani offshoot has unleashed a sustained campaign of suicide bombings."

But lets give Credit where Credit is NOT due, the Foreign policy of "O", not the Internal Pakistan war against the Government of Pakistan. They finally decided they needed some extreme help. Enter Drones by the Dozens.

I thought Pakistan was getting nervous about the Taliban gettting too close to the Government and too powerful within the Borders. But this article trys to give Obama all the Credit, starting with the opening paragraph.

"The capture of senior Afghan Taliban leaders in Pakistan represents the culmination of months of pressure by the Obama administration"

Meanwhile, their headline about Haig's death included Obama's comment.

As if Obama's opinion of Haig should matter, when Obama was a minor during the most important parts of Haig's career. Whatever shortcomings Alexander Haig may have had, he was clearly a patriot and did what he considered to be in the best interests of the United States--so he was the complete opposite of Barack Obama.

The only thing Zero knows about Haig is what Ayers/Dorne have told him. From the Terrorist perspective.
