As US Forces are filmed being attacked by the Taliban, ambushed by the Taliban and then seen all over the USA, and those of us old enough to have clear memories of Henry Kissinger’s negotiations from 1972 onwards, and REMEMBER how ANY negotiations were a joke given our goal of simply LEAVING and getting our POW’s back while we left the nation for the North Vietnamese …. .... but of course, the NVA and VC NEVER, EVER not once threatened the USA, or executed an attack here.
GUARDIAN UK:
Taliban leaders held at Guantánamo Bay to be released in peace talks deal
US agrees in principle to releasing top officials from Afghanistan insurgent group in exchange for starting process of negotiationsThe US has agreed in principle to release high-ranking Taliban officials from Guantánamo Bay in return for the Afghan insurgents’ agreement to open a political office for peace negotiations in Qatar, the Guardian has learned.According to sources familiar with the talks in the US and in Afghanistan, the handful of Taliban figures will include Mullah Khair Khowa, a former interior minister, and Noorullah Noori, a former governor in northern Afghanistan.
More controversially, the Taliban are demanding the release of the former army commander Mullah Fazl Akhund. Washington is reported to be considering formally handing him over to the custody of another country, possibly Qatar.The releases would be to reciprocate for Tuesday’s announcement from the Taliban that they are prepared to open a political office in Qatar to conduct peace negotiations “with the international community” – the most significant political breakthrough in ten years of the Afghan conflict.
Obama is a dangerous amateur with no sense of those inimical not to the american govt, not to Exxon, not to Halliburton, but TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
It is ESSENTIAL Obama be removed from office by the election and that the American PEOPLE be seen by the world to DO IT.
ESSENTIAL.
The Taliban and Mullah Omar performed every conceivable act to help Osama Bin Laden, KSM, et al to KILL MORE AMERICANS THAN DIED AT PEARL HARBOR IN NYC, DC, and PA.
The Taliban IS the enemy. The exit strategy is that they will be so decimated and killed and run to ground wherever they are, including Pakistan that they will care only about living out their days without gazing skyward and listening. The exit strategy should demonstrate to every Pakistani in the Army and ISI there will be NO ALLOWANCE for not not KILLING PAK TALIBAN.
The thought that this man cannot conceptualize WHO the enemy is, and WHAT the enemy has done as a predictor of what the ENEMY will do, places Obama and Ron Paul at the PRECISE SAME PLACE.
We need to reduce the Taliban and their lk to "such condition (that) there is no place for Industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain; and consequently no Culture of the Earth; no Navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by Sea; no commodious Building; no Instruments of moving, and removing such things as require much force; no Knowledge of the face of the Earth; no account of Time; no Arts; no Letters; no Society; and which is worst of all, continuall feare, and danger of violent death; And the life of man, solitary, poore, nasty, brutish, and short."

What's more than a little disconcerting is Ron Paul's surge, although the media is little reporting on it.
In an Obama/Paul fight, I'm not sure I could cast a vote EITHER way.
Paul will NEVER be nominated.
ReplyDeleteNEVER.
It would cause - not a third party for an election - it would CAUSE a real third party.
I would write in a vote for Bokonon, and invite the nation to my grandfalloon
Hi Epa.
ReplyDeleteYes Memri brought this story last week. http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/5963.htm
It shines a whole different light on what Obama ment by:
"He's Not Bound by Guantanamo"
The signing statement says that on the issue of accused terrorist detainees, Obama will interpret and apply provisions that bar the transfer of detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, "in a manner that avoids constitutional conflicts."

I don't get it. What is the benefit to the United States of having the Taliban open a political office in Qatar.
ReplyDeleteHi Pasto.
ReplyDelete"A former leader of Taliban's Jaish-ul-Muslimin Movement said that some agreements have been made to negotiate with the U.S. Sayed Mohammad Akbar Agha, the former leader of Taliban's Jaish-ul-Muslimin Movement, said that Qatar would be the best place for the Taliban to open an office.
"Some reports say that Sayed Tayeb Agha, Shahabuddin Delawar and Shir Mohammad Stanikzai – who are close to Mullah Mohammad Omar, the leader of Afghan Taliban – have met with U.S. representatives. [The] Taliban have no problems in negotiating with the U.S. ... [Sayed Mohammad Akbar Agha] added.
"Meanwhile, Afghan President Hamid Karzai for the first time agreed with [a U.S.-driven proposal for] a Taliban liaison office in Qatar.
My Guess the Muslim brotherhood spiritual guide Yusuf al-Qaradawi wanted Quatar perhaps he feels 'safe' there.
The Qaradawi-brokered deal calls for significant American commitments, including "the release of prisoners still held by the United States at Guantanamo Bay.
Don't forget Huma weiner (Hillary's righthand) her brother sits on the same board (Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies) as Qaradawi. 1+1 = 2

Obama ordered Congress to work on transfer of Taliban leader from Gitmo to Afghanistan.

Here's the thing, Hilary is friends with Huma. Anthony is married to her. Biden says the Taliban is not our enemy. And not one politician on our side will speak out against the insane folly that is the Presidential Administration.
ReplyDeleteWe're fucked.
Nasr'Allah is a better and more principled leader than Obama. What did you expect?
ReplyDeleteBetter leader, YES.
ReplyDeleteSo what, so am I
Murdering Racist Thugs, however, who shine at the nazi salute, brag that jews OUGHT to concentrate in Israel to make the climax easier, and bray that no one should mistake Israel for anything than a battalion of the american army, HAVE NO PRINCIPLES.
On the basis of principles Nassrallah is LITERALLY David Duke.
NEVER FORGET THAT IS WHAT THE VAST MAJORITY of the American PEOPLE see
Hey Epa, this is Anon from directly above your post.
ReplyDeleteI said Nasr'Allah was a better leader than Obama. So, it should come as no surprise that he outmaneuvered the POTUS.
That said, I never said I admired anything about Nasr'Allah. I am a Christian Zionist who hopes that Israel can one day soon exult in his demise.
This defeat being arraigned by Obumma,makes a mockery of our dead and injured soldiers that have fought
ReplyDeleteup till now. This would be a defeat
without honor.What more could be expected from our muslim president.
