Obama Set To Accept Taliban

According to a Times Online article Barack Obama is resigned to ceding portions of Afghanistan to the Taliban.

President Obama is prepared to accept some Taleban involvement in Afghanistan’s political future and is unlikely to favour a large influx of new US troops being demanded by his ground commander, a senior official said tonight.

Mr Obama appears to have been swayed in recent days by arguments from some advisers, led by Vice-President Joe Biden, that the Taleban do not pose a direct threat to the US and that there should be greater focus on tackling al-Qaeda inside Pakistan.

So Barry O looks like he is once again going to vote present, except that in this case he will be sentencing hundreds if not thousands of women to death and brutality at the hands of these radical Islamists. Their circular logic is that the Taliban will not welcome Al-Queda back into their midst.

At the same time. evidence is coming to light that Iran may indeed be supplying the Taliban with weapons and supplies with which to wage war against our forces, just like they did in Iraq.

If this does indeed become the course of inaction that the administration chooses, I do not know what to say to all those service members and the families of those left behind, that would justify this.

And what to say to all of the Afghanis who will no doubt be massacred just like what happened in the aftermath of Vietnam and in Cambodia.

Obama's Adolescent National Security Advisor

Yes, that is Barry O's oldest daughter in that picture with the t-shirt bearing a peace symbol and the article says is the symbol for an organization called Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

My question is, did mommy and daddy influence Malia or is Malia helping daddy make important national security decisions? My question for all of y'all is do you still doubt the radical views of your President in Training Pants?

Malia has only been around Barack for 11 years--yes, that is how old she is--which is hard to believe looking at these pictures, and yet we are expected to believe that people like Jeremiah Wright, whom Barack knew for 20 years, had no effect on his thinking.

Can you imagine the outcry if it was the Bush daughters wearing a shirt like this?

Will David Letterman make any jokes about the Obama kids, now that they are using them as stage props to further reinforce dangerous national security policies which seems to revolve around paying the bullies of the world protection money in the hopes they beat up our friends first? Only problem with that type of policy is that sooner or later you no longer have any place to run and you must finally come face-to-face with your tormentor.

Sleep good America, and may the chains rest lightly upon your shoulders.

Hypocritical Democrats Want More Eavesdropping Powers

Forget about pandering to the kook fringe nutroots base and their masters at the ACLU, it's all about appearances for the Democrats. Since they obviously are pathetically weak on national security and fighting terrorism, they need to pretend to be tough. So there goes another principle out the window.

Democrats Scrambling to Expand Eavesdropping

WASHINGTON, July 31 -- Under pressure from President Bush, Democratic leaders in Congress are scrambling to pass legislation this week to expand the government?s electronic wiretapping powers.

Democratic leaders have expressed a new willingness to work with the White House to amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to make it easier for the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on some purely foreign telephone calls and e-mail. Such a step now requires court approval.

Of course, they're all for domestic eavesdropping when they're in power. Just ask Newt Gingrich and John Boehner about that.

Of course, now that they're scrambling to appear tough, Mr. 19%, Dingy Harry, is seeking comity and bipartisanship.

“We hope our Republican counterparts will work together with us to fix the problem, rather than try again to gain partisan political advantage at the expense of our national security,” Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, said in a statement Monday night.

Naturally, the terrorist supporters at the ACLU won't stand for any of it.

Some civil liberties groups oppose the proposed changes, expressing concern that there might be far-reaching consequences.

“Congress needs to take its time before it implements another piece of antiterrorism legislation it will regret, like the Patriot Act,” said Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union. “The Bush administration clearly has abused the FISA powers it already has and clearly wants to go back to the good old days of warrantless wiretapping and domestic spying. Congress must stop this bill in its tracks.”

Sorry, not going to happen.

As a sidenote, the paper of record ought to do a better job proofreading, as they misspell the name of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales three times.
