		<description>Even the DNC doesn&#039;t believe that there are friendly Taliban.

What would make anyone believe that the President could negotiate with any of the Taliban in Afghanistan when he can&#039;t or won&#039;t sit down with those the DNC calls &quot;Taliban&quot; here in the US of A.</description>

		<description>In liberal land,you can just make things up to fit around your liberal ideology,get the press to repeat it over and over and over, hoping enough of the uninformed will start to believe it as truth.

 In the real world,real enemies that share the same beliefs and goals are hoping America buys into the Obama administration&#039;s lies so they can continue their quest for the new Caliphate.
&lt;strong&gt;
 Here are the top leaders of the Taliban and al-qaeda professing there dedication and support for each other:&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
Bin Laden then made a pledge of personal fealty,much like the one that members of al-qaeda swore to him.He acknowledged Omar as the leader of the faithful.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;em&gt; “We consider you to be our noble Emir”.&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Bin Laden wrote.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;em&gt;
“We invite all muslims to render assistance and co-operation to you,in every possible way that they can.&lt;/em&gt;
 

http://books.google.com/books?id=APt9mgmgidgC&amp;pg=PA326&amp;lpg=PA326&amp;dq=mullah+omar+9/11&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=ASzsQHkWF7&amp;sig=GliPzNLMuKMStv8-Y8LffLLDpfQ&amp;hl=en&amp;ei=zazDSqyBD5DflAe2_MHIBQ&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=book_result&amp;ct=result&amp;resnum=6&amp;ved=0CBQQ6AEwBTgo#v=onepage&amp;q=mullah%20omar%209%2F11&amp;f=false

 You would have to be an absolute fool to look at the vast history of these jihadist working together and come to the conclusion that &quot;We can trust the &quot;moderate&quot; Taliban and they won&#039;t work with al-qaeda if we cut and run,allowing them to take the country back over&quot;.

 The Obama administration is truly stuck on stupid.</description>

		<description>There is not a whit of difference between Al Qaeda and the Taliban. 

Both are evil incarnate. 

Both are bloodthirsty fundamentalist fanatics. 

Both hate modernity and individual freedoms. 

Both view women as chattel. 

In short, kill&#039;em all and let Allah sort&#039;em out.

More Predators, please.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;

As the Obama administration reconsiders its Afghanistan policy, &lt;strong&gt;White House officials are minimizing warnings from the intelligence community, the military and the State Department about the risks of adopting a limited strategy focused on al Qaida,&lt;/strong&gt; U.S. intelligence, diplomatic and military officials told McClatchy.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

 So the Obama administration is manipulating intelligence to fit around there pre-conceived policies of retreat.

 Seems we heard an awful lot of yelling and screaming from liberals about &quot;manipulating intelligence to bolster the case for war&quot; over the last eight years.

 &lt;em&gt;(these allegations were proved false by the 2004 Senate intelligence report,Butler report,2008 Senate intelligence report,and 9/11 commission).&lt;/em&gt;

 So when are we going to hear liberals yell for the impeachment of Obama and his administration officials for manipulating intelligence and lying to the American people.

 I am sure liberals will be all over this considering their strong support for the rule of law.....oh,my fault,that only applies when a Republican is in the White House.</description>

		<description>What!!
democrats selling out America and our troops for political reasons....how could this be?

 Obama has no chance of getting away with his smoke and mirrors game in trying to run in Afghanistan.

 Way to many people from world leaders,to military experts,to Obama&#039;s own people have stated for to long how dangerous the Taliban is and the disastrous results of capitulation in this war.

 On top of that, Obama has declared war on our intelligence services with his CIA prosecutions so he can expect serious leaks of intel that will expose this shell game he is trying to to play.

 What an absolute disgrace and outright crime it is to have the POTUS play political games with the lives of our troops and our Nations safety.

Absolutely disgraceful.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Lox, I think we are going to peel off more seats than most of the talking head pundits think are possible, in 2010.

I think so too, Right now, it feels like an historic landslide turnover. But, the left has the overwhelming majority of news and entertainment media, stars, and academia working on their behalf, as well much of the elite of the world. And that&#039;s a lot to work against.

So we need to bring as many people as we can into the tent, and work really hard, as if our lives and those of our children and grandchildren depend on it. Because they do.</description>

		<description>Obama at war... 
 It&#039;s like watching a 2 year old handling a grenade that will kill all but the 2 year old.Bang!..leaving him free to pick up another grenade and play with it as well.
Obama and the economy...(Damned Capitalists anyway!)
  Bang goes the auto industry...Hummer sold to China, Chrysler to Fiat and the union. (Vampires running a Blood Bank.)  
He must be pleased at the destruction he personally has accomplished.  So many industries! So little time!
   Health care...There are more MRI machines in Alaska, population 660 thousand, than in all of Canada... population 33 million.

Obama is a liar and Truth is
killing his Marxist agenda.</description>

		<description>[...] U.S. intelligence, diplomatic and military officials told McClatchy that the Obama  White House officials are minimizing warnings from the intelligence community, the military and the State Department about the risks of adopting a limited strategy focused on al Qaida. Recent U.S. intelligence assessments have found that the Taliban and other Pakistan-based groups that are fighting U.S.-led forces have much closer ties to al Qaida now than they did before 9/11, would allow the terrorist network to re-establish bases in Afghanistan and would help Osama bin Laden export his radical brand of Islam to Afghanistan&#8217;s neighbors and beyond, the officials said.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;And when Afghanistan and Pakistan fail how will he blame it on Bush?

Pull our troops now, every last one of them, rather then let them be sitting ducks.

ctmom on October 11, 2009 at 11:19 AM&lt;/em&gt;

Obama: &quot;Well, the previous administration wasted 8 years neglecting Afghanistan, as I have always said, and let me be clear, I inherited a situation where the enemy was misidentified; the Taliban are really moderates and blah, blah, blah...&quot;

I am afraid there is going to be a terrible waste of troops lives under the traitor-in-cheif as he drags them undermanned and underfunded through the mud of voting present, playing politics with their lives. I agree with ctmom - get them out of there now. And impeach the traitor for the treasonous ghoul that he is.</description>

		<description>Think of this as a free market that deals in people&#039;s lives. Zero is buying this one, but he&#039;s going to pay for it with other people&#039;s lives in installments.

Does it affect him? Well let&#039;s see here, he&#039;s backing the Taliban now which support Al Quaeda, who just declared war on China, which is incidentally where Zero has put all his investment. Go Uighers. 

This is going to get even messier.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;If the military and intel communities are telling Obama that the idea of a “moderate Taliban” is false — and Lara Logan emphatically agrees — then where did this idea arise in the first place?  It comes not from Afghanistan, but from &lt;strong&gt;the left wing of the Democratic Party.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Here is the problem. And the solution is 2010.

We must take back the House with at least a few extra seats to allow for wiggle room. Unfortunately, the most likely Democrats to lose are the Blue Dogs, so the remaining Democrats will be even more purely liberal. So, we need to also work on peeling off some of those liberal Democrats with moderate or libertarian Republicans who are at least conservative on protecting our nation from terrorists.</description>
