Talking with the Taliban makes sense, so long as American is coming to the negotiating table having bested them on the battlefield, Sen. John McCain said Sunday.

The former Republican White House contender said he supported the latest three-way talks between the United States, the Afghan government of ally Hamid Karzai and the Taliban.

“I think it's important to have talks wherever you can,” McCain said on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” Sunday.

McCain is absolutely disconnected from reality.

If we could talk to the Taliban, just imagine it
Chatting to a terrorist is free
Imagine talking to a killer, chatting to a bomber
What a neat achievement that would be.

Arizona loves electing senility. In Arizona, the 3 legged stool is made up of senility, war hero status, and hatred of earmarks. They’d be better off electing a 99 year old WWII Vet who knows what it is like to fight and win and is most likely equally as sharp as McCain.

I think Joe Biden needs to partner with some Hollywood star to aid this seriously dillusional politician.

Tban: Marhaba ( Hello in muzzy)
InSane: How much money should we give you?
Tban: 1 billion u.s. Tax payer dollars
InSane: Ok that could take a week or two. What do we get in return?
Tban: I’m sorry we don’t understand. You aren’t asking us to change our moon god ways, put down the sword and join the civilized world?
Insane: Of course not you are an ancient and noble people. Say, if we can get you the money today would you stand with me for a photo shoot?
Tban: We cannot. The prophet does not allow the celebration of anything.
Insane: Well can you at least promise to not kill anyone for a week after I leave? That would make me look like an old mentally challenged liberal politician.
Than: We make no such promise. Go with Allah.
InSane: Thank you my friends

Heck, talking to them is OK by me, too! What’s wrong with it?

Examples: “Well, Punks, do you feel lucky”

etc.

Yes: Or, like the Marine said to the dead Taliban as he was pissing on him, “Have a good day!”

This is the same guy that thought it was OK to talk with the North Vietnamese/Viet Cong while we were at war with them and has been bad mouthing the Vets ever since.

This man should be as far from a U. S. Government office as is humanly possible. Furthermore, he should be on a ‘do not contact’ and ‘do not accept calls from’ list.

I distrust this guy with every fiber of my being.
