Obama will play hardball. He’ll only let the Tallies have everything between the Mississippi and the Hudson Rivers.

Reminds me of another socialist committing treason in a similar manner: John "F'ing" Kerry

Sure why not?

He never really gave a crap about any of the dead innocent Americans who the Taliban helped to slaughter on 9/11.

He did after all say that HE would make America loved again by foreign powers, he never really told us though that the Taliban is who he was planning to do that with.

Just another way his colorful oratory misled America about what that language language really meant (Hope and Change et al).

I guess we’ll be hearing Obama honking cluelessly about Off-Gonny Tolly-Bonn once more.

This guy’s so full of himself, but so stupid. It’s more than just dangerous.

It is simply a part of his agenda...something people still don’t seem to understand or want to believe.

Agenda? To plunder the U.S., spread chaos throughout the world, and ultimately turn us over to our enemies.

“an enemy of the international community.”
________________________________________________

This mentality is part of the whole problem. I believe this mentality is what is treasonous.

We are not in a declared war with Afghanistan. We are not in a declared war with the Taliban. We are not in a declared war with Al-Qaeda. We are not in a declared war with Islam. Instead, our troops are merely being used, as they have repeatedly been used since WWII, to go die and waste our treasure in “police actions” and “overseas contigency plans” in distant little cesspools of no strategic importance to our nation’s security or wellbeing. We don’t declare war, we don’t let or expect our troops to win, and we loose over and over again against the most rag-tag enemies, and then pull out or declare some sort of “settlement”, never an unconditional surrender of a vanquished enemy.

And why? Who benefits? The global order: the politicians, bankers, industrialists and co-opted brass that manipulate things behind the scenes. Not the American people, certainly.

Could we really have been any more stupid than the way we have been since 9/11? We won’t declare an enemy, we won’t fight to win, we won’t punish treason. Now look how our fortunes have changed.

They are planning a “wag the dog” victory for the US that will make Obama look good and also leave the Muslims intact to surface again in a few short years.

0bama will soon be telling us (if he hasn’t already) that only “certain elements” within the Taliban are anti-American. The rest of them are just swell guys. ....just like his buddies in the Muslim Brotherhood.

Next logical step for a Muslim U.S. President is to have the Taliban represented in the next national elections.

If they were secret we wouldn’t know about it.. I always hate these types of BS headlines.

It was as much treason when they installed the first mullah in the WH as it is with mullah Omar in the Lincoln bedroom.

Probably giving the inside scoop on where and when to cross the border with dirty bombs. THis president holds no love for this country, its citizens or the office he holds. Its all of our faults too, we fell asleep at the wheel and let the left ram this kind of guy up our you know whats and didnt even have the courtesy to buy us dinner first.
