“In part, that’s because they assume that the experts that are handling it know exactly what they’re doing. Tragically, this is all too often a completely erroneous assumption. “

ROTFLMAO!!! So true with this administration!

Am I exaggerating? Well, read the excerpts from this New York Times story and my comments afterwards and form your own conclusions:

Incredible, American officials giving money to a man whom they thought was a leader of the Taliban....

[WayneS]

“It’s not him,” said a Western diplomat in Kabul intimately involved in the discussions. “And we gave him a lot of money.”

This would be mind-bendingly funny but for the fact that the "lot of money" those bastards gave to that other bastard belongs to US.

American officials say they were skeptical from the start about the identity of the man who claimed to be Mullah Mansour...

Then why, pray tell, did you give him "lots of money"?

“The Taliban are cleverer than the Americans and our own intelligence service,” said a senior Afghan official who is familiar with the case...

Apparently so...

The Afghan war drags on and Obama's minions negotiate with impostors. Iran pursues a nuke. North Korea pursues nukes and shells the south. Israel is threatened on two sides.

Hussein has been lucky so far in the foreign policy arena. A foreign crisis is long overdue.

( Obama Administration gets punked by a fake Taliban leader after bribing them with negotiation table money ).....

Yes Obama Administration, don't get punked again...

but ? in future talks with the Taliban at the negotiation table, is the Obama Administration going to ask any future leader of the Taliban to show their birth certificate to prove who they are ?
Yes Obama administration, The people want to know, inquiring minds want to know.
Are you ? or are you not ? going to ask them for their birth certificate... don't want be faked and punked again by them.

So we’re paying the Talaban to sit at the negotiating table, then paying them again to return for each meeting. Essentially, the White House is funding the purchase of Talaban weapons used to kill our own soldiers.

Who’d have dreamed something like that from an Obama Administration... (sarc)

Well, the waste of $3 Billion of taxpayer money means NOTHING to these jerks, who just want to re-distribute the wealth, whether domestically, or to a foreign scammer.
