Maybe its time the Afghans got rid of the taliban themselves.

Yep after the final NATO forces pull out Karzai gets beat by the Taliban like a red-headed stepchild and Afghans go back to the 5th Century.

Any minute now you will see in the national news outlets that NOW is going to make a statement defending the helpless downtrodden women in the Mid East. (sarc.)

I think FAR FAR worse. What are the women’s rights groups going to say?! A for sure is the MSM will cover this up...black it out. So called ‘women’s rights’ are just a red herring as means to the end. Yet another lie from liberals to justify the jerk knee of the day.

Liberal women don’t care about Afghan women.
Liberal women vote Democrat.
Therefore:
Obama could care less about Afghan women.

Obama could care less about the Afghan women! All he cares about is how his troop withdrawal will help him in the polls.

Besides...being a Muslim he doesn't believe they should have any rights anyway.

Saying you can negotiate with the Taliban to find a “political solution” is as absurd as negotiating with Himmler to negotiate “peace” in WWII. There is no moderate Taliban, they’re extremist by nature and to say otherwise is a lie.

Also time for Hamed Karzai to haul *ss for retirement in Switzerland where he can enjoy all the money he stole and to hell with his country.

The guy did well for himself. I can still remember him sitting in the bleachers next to Mrs. Bush hearing GW intone at the State of the Union address that ‘Islam is a religion of peace.’

Nothing really changed since then except that Karzai got filthy rich.

Abandon ship! From ‘Women and children first’ (old Christian chivalry), to ‘Women and children hit hardest’ (modern Liberal of shrug and blame someone else.)

AFGHAN WOMEN Fear Obama’s Peace Talks & Return of the Taliban

How about a special program to find, train and arm a hundred thousand Afghan women?

Sounds crazy, but we are not on a path towards a positive ending in Af-Pak anyway, and this would shake things up a bit.

I work for Boeing in Mesa on the AH-64 APACHE Longbow attack helicopter and last week we had a ceremony celebrating the 236th Birthday of the U.S. Army. I felt a strong sense of pride well up inside and then I thought about the Muslim, Marxist that is currently occupying the White House and that sense of pride turned instantly to DISDAIN!! There is not a person on the face of God’s green earth that I loathe more than Barack Hussein Obama. He is just another enemy of this Great Nation. God continue to bless the USA! And a personal thank you to the men and women who proudly serve our Great Nation in the Armed Services! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for procuring and securing the Freedoms and Liberties that we all so richly enjoy.

I’d say once we leave it’ll be like Vienam etc. All those countrys turned into full bloodbaths with the commies the Khmer Rouge...just a mess. But no one heard much, no one covered much, just little tidbits on page 20 of the newspaper, same with Timor or Sudan. In Afghanistan it’s too wild, no one cares that much so unfortunately the women and children, those that ran with the Americans and allies will be slaughtered and , well, I hope and pray not but history will probably repeat itself.

I hate this, and feel so badly for those women and their female children.

The day that PEACE in Viet Nam was announced, my husband was flying over Laos and heard the announcement over his radio, just before he unloaded his weapons.

When I heard Obama yesterday, Viet Nam was the first thought I had.
