Your are right about Obama’s mother being in Pakistan in the early 1980’s when he visited her. She was working on “microgrants” as a form of aiding Paks in building their own little businesses.
If there were any “Taliban” around, it would not be where she was. However, you probably will not hear the term Taliban used until much later in either the late 80’s or more likely the early 90’s. By then Obama’s mother was long gone from Pakistan.
Still, it is worth finding out in more detail just what she did in Pakistan, and what Barry did there, and when.
PS: I really don’t like Brezinski and as a journalist I was responsible for embarrassing him at a talk/press conference at Hopkins many years ago.
It certainly is worth finding out what they were both doing in Pak. Whether there were taliban/mujahideen where she was is pretty irrelevant, people could travei in those days. She was involved with the Ford Foundation and Geithner Sr, at least publicly, who knows what she was doing otherwise.
And what kind of passport was Barry Soebarkah using at that time, no one knows, or if they do know, they aren’t telling.
