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.
