Mullah Omar’s “Great Victory” = Obama’s delusional/treasonous foreign policy success

If ever there was an appropriate quote from Churchill, it is this: “ I will begin by saying what everybody would like to ignore or forget but which must nevertheless be stated, namely, that we have sustained a total and unmitigated defeat”

Because it was a great victory for them in a sense because they liberated important commanders.

In another sense, it was not even a victory at all because the concept of victory is winning a struggle against an adversary or adversity.

It is hard to declare a victory when your “adversary” (ie the Obama Administration) is on your side and is all too eager and happy to accommodate you and provide the necessary aid in your struggle.

Maybe they’ll send some of the good stuff along with their thank-you note to Obama.

In other words, we have released 6 people that hate America.

And the Quisling MSM have already lined up to face the East and praise His Arrogance and his great wisdom.

Mullah Baraq also claims it as a great victory.
