Taliban To Obama ~ "moderate Taliban and what it means?"
Obama being illogical - Taliban
Reuters ( correspondents in Kabul)
AFGHANISTAN'S Taliban today turned down as illogical US President Barack Obama's bid to reach out to moderate elements of the insurgents, saying the exit of foreign troops was the only solution for ending the war.
Mr Obama, in an interview with the New York Times, expressed an openness to adapting tactics in Afghanistan that had been used in Iraq to reach out to moderate elements there.
"This does not require any response or reaction for this is illogical," Qari Mohammad Yousuf, a purported spokesman for the insurgent group, said when asked if its top leader Mullah Mohammad Omar would make any comment about Mr Obama's proposal.
"The Taliban are united, have one leader, one aim, one policy...I do not know why they are talking about moderate Taliban and what it means? "If it means those who are not fighting and are sitting in their homes, then talking to them is meaningless. This really is surprising the Taliban."
Afghan President Hamid Karzai welcomed Obama’s proposal but analysts were doubtful.
“Obama’s comment resemble a dream more than reality,” said Waheed Mozhdah, an analyst who has written a book on the Taliban.
“Where are the so-called moderate Taliban? Who are the moderate Taliban?” asked Mozhdah, who was an official in both the Taliban and the Karzai governments.
"'Moderate Taliban' is like 'moderate killer'. Is there such a thing?", asked writer and analyst Qaseem Akhgar.
LOL Joe Biden responds to the Taliban saying no such thing as a moderate and not even knowing what that means. According to Joe, and we know nobody messes with Joe, only 5% are actually dangerous. Who knew?
hahaha
"5 percent of the Taliban is incorrigible, not susceptible to anything other than being defeated. Another 25 percent or so are not quite sure, in my view, the intensity of their commitment to the insurgency. And roughly 70 percent are involved because of the money, because of them being -- getting paid.”

Wild Thing's comment.........
LOL I know they want to kill all of us , but this is just too funny for words!
Even the Taliban is more realistic than Obama One of their spokesmen came out yesterday morning and said he had no idea what Obama was talking about, because there is no such animal as a “moderate” Taliban.
The Taliban sounds more rational than the White House) OMG! The freaking Taliban has a more coherent foreign policy than Obama!!
Well, someone ought to clue the Taliban in on the concept of affirmative action. See, this is our first affirmative action president and affirmative action means that President Obama is not to be held to the same standards as other national leaders. He has come from a disadvantaged home and every university and employer can assure you that AA designates get remedial education on logic (and protocol, and press conference behavior, and work schedules, and economics, and . . .) before being graded. Yeesh, Taliban, get with the program.

This only demonstrates the stupidity of Obama. This nation made a guy president who doesn't have a clue of what's happening here and abroad.
Our only hope as a nation is to get a Conservative majority in congress next year.

Weak!

Astute, pertinent, timely. You ought to be getting the big bucks the O'Reilly's and Hannity's are getting. Your commentary has become finely honed. Your judgement impeccable. Run for President, Chrissie!

Did Biden get his percentages from his bookie? So far Obama foreign policy is batting zero. Maybe the Taliban would like a DVD set of American movies or a reset button. I bet they would love a model of Marine One they could practice shooting down.
Obama is in way over his head. His administration of crooks only know how to rip off the taxpayers. They have no clue about foreign policy and foreign relations. Thunder Thighs Hillary is way out of her league.
Yeah Hussein Obama, you are making the world respect us again. The world is either looking at us quizically or laughing their heads off.

The ABJECT INGNORANCE of the Cult of 'O' thinking the Taliban: A.- gives a flying goat turd WHAT we, or anyone else thinks. B.- has 'moderates'? HOLY BAT GUANO, are they (that stupid)SERIOUS?!?! C.- Has ANY intentions other than sticking a B-40 rocket up out ass and pulling the trigger. The DISCONNECT and CLUELESSNESS are so PROFUSE as to, under ANY circumstance, be laughable. I TRULY fear for our men and women overseas fighting this battle against these stone-age Zealots,and for our country men, women, and children here, for it is as if NO ONE learned from that Democratic Presidentialially Bungled Nightmare, The Vietnam War, (see L.B.J.) the absurdity and fallibility of the 'R.O.E.'-'Rules Of Engagement'!! The ONLY CORRECT and ONLY EFFECTIVE solution to the "Taliban Problem/Zealots, AND the ONLY ONE T-H-E-Y 'respect', is a bullet in the ear...... I'm sorry Mr. 'President' but, as my friend likes to say "TAKE THE TEST!!" (and the teacher is using ALOT of RED X's........)

The entire world is laughing at O'Vomit and his tag along douchebag Shillary. What we really need at this point in time is an IMPEACHMENT, trial and hanging.

Don't talk to the Taliban , just keep hitting them untill they're all dead or ready to surrender.All they want is to take over the western world.There is no such thing as a moderate terrorist.Obama is undoing what the brave fighting men and women have done the past eight years.The only talking we should be doing is telling them where to sign at the surrender table."If you have them by the balls ,their hearts and minds will follow".

BobF., I agree, and if Obama does not listen and listen good to our military he might as well go join the Taliban himself becasue he is on their side anyway.
