Obama Negotiates with Terrorists who Poison Schoolgirls
A few weeks ago, from Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan, President Obama personally confirmed that his administration has been in direct negotiations with the Taliban. Obama made it clear that he personally supports an Afghanistan where the Taliban play a role in governance. As US News put it, he has gone “all in.”
Let’s review who the Taliban really is, shall we?
The Taliban:
- Massacres its own people
- Denied food to 160,000 people
- Believes in STRICT Sharia Law
- Wages a REAL war on women
- Blows up schools for “un-Islamic teachings”
A few years ago, the Taliban attacked girls with acid on their way to school, blinding and disfiguring several of them. Reuters did a video report on one of the incidents. Watch it, but only if you are ready to be sad and angry for awhile.
More recently, the Taliban has been poisoning schoolgirls in an apparent effort to discourage them from attending school, and/or to undermine the Afghan government.
I ask you, do militants who rule with an iron fist, starve and slaughter their own people, and poison and burn young girls with acid just for wanting to learn seem like reasonable human beings?
Most of us would say no, but President Obama says yes. These are the people with whom Obama seeks accord. These are the people Obama believes can be part of Afghanistan’s governing body.
Sure, Obama stipulates that the Taliban must “renounce violence.” Yeah, right. So they renounce violence “officially,” then continue to perpetrate the same acts of oppression they’ve been doing, and turn around and claim innocence to Washington and the U.N. Heck, they’ll probably get Obama or Ban Ki-moon to give them money to “fight the terrorists within.”
Look, I can’t claim to be an expert on foreign policy, and I’m definitely torn on whether or not it’s worthwhile to continue the war in Afghanistan, where our young men and women are dying and getting seriously injured. But to actually engage in direct talks with an organization of terrorists as evil as the Taliban is an insult to every soldier who has given his or her life to see that country saved.
To give them the prestige of being recognized internationally, on television, by the most powerful man in the world as an invited player to the negotiating table is to concede that America no longer stands defiant in the face of such terrible evil. We are no longer seeking an Afghanistan that is safe for women and girls to learn and pursue their own dreams.
Instead, we seek an exit strategy. Political expedience is the rule of the day. Obama wants to check a box on his list of campaign promises. In essence, he is willing to casually trade the lives and futures of hundreds of thousands of Afghan women for a better chance at winning reelection. Bold leadership, no doubt.

Excellent post, Robert. This administration is in bed with terrorists. CAIR has visited the White House hundreds of times. http://dailycaller.com/2012/06/08/administration-admits-to-hundreds-of-meetings-with-jihad-linked-group/
Obama is trying to destroy this country from within.
Man…Mike Lupia is Right:
RACIST NATION READY To REJECT OBAMA BECAUSE HE’S BLACK!
Obama’s job gains are offset by the Republican job cuts in the PUBLIC sector, which was the case Obama was stating. Hate is going to destroy America.
Second, it is simply a fact that George Dubya Bush was the worst president in all of recorded history and he screwed this nation. He set up trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see, and the economy collapsed on his watch because of the idiotic repugnican policies such as deregulation of the financial sector that YOU like so much.
Third, this repugnican Congress is the most obstructionist EVER, they’ve been intentionally sabotaging the economic recovery, and they’ve somehow changed the Constitution so that 66 votes in the Senate are required to get anything done.
If he was a muslim, why would he have killed Bin Laden? Bush, on the other hand, let him slip away from Tora Bora, and even said during a press conference, that he wasn’t really concerned him (youtube it for yourself). Seems like Bush would the more likely “secret muslim” at heart.
Do poor white people really think President Obama is a Communist/Socialist/Marxist? Do they even know what a Communist believes? Are they merely parroting right-wing pundits? My theory answers “No” to all of these questions.
I think that these people, those who claim that Obama is a socialist, are racist and simply can’t stomach the idea that President Obama has succeeded and risen within the capitalist system well beyond their ability. One example (of many) I am thinking of resides in the godforsaken region of the godforsaken state of Utah: Utah County, and will never be able to afford a luxury car or mansion, could never dream of being elected to public office, would never ever have been able to attend Harvard. Despite these painful slaps to the face, they maintain a love for Capitalism and believe (for some reason) that if they endure the oppression maybe one day they will rise above their current social status. So how to reconcile a black democrat beating them so badly, in this capitalist game? Well, he must not be playing the same game. If Capitalism is like economic Darwinism, as capitalists like to pretend, then President Obama is the current winner. He has bested these white people at what they think is their own game. I can’t imagine that sitting well with those already predisposed to hating the President because of his skin color. Sure, George W. Bush has also bested them — but it is an easier pill to swallow considering the Bush family legacy. Plus, he’s white.
Forget that President Obama has admitted to being a capitalist:
“Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, I am an ardent believer in the free market.”
If Marx was alive today, he would criticize Obama as a representative of the interests of the bourgeoisie and American Capitalism, not endorse him as a fellow comrade.
How can these people be so uninformed, and vocal at the same time? That is nothing new, unfortunately.
Next time you hear the stupid charge: “Obama is a Marxist/Communist/Socialist” ask “Why?”. “What makes President Obama a Communist?”
And, if you think they have a few brain cells to rub together, ask what it is that makes Communism such a dirty word in America today. As someone who has studied Marx and Engels, who identifies with the Communist movement, I admit I am unable to grasp why these people have such animosity towards a movement that even Jesus Christ (historical or allegorical) seemed to advocate for.
Larry Sinclair was in the nut hatch at the time he claims the affair took place.
Larry Sinclair is a fame-seeker with a history of criminal fraud. Without evidence, nothing he says is anything more than crude fiction.
Larry Sincliar is a god-damn liar, just like the rest you lie, smear this man for being a black president!
He was comparing private sector job growth and public sector employment. He is right. Why must you people continue to bugger the truth.
Why do you people think Obama hates America? He’s the president and he’s
dedicated an awful lot of his life to the country. He may have different politics, but he doesn’t hate America
If Obama is a “rogue, a fraud and a traitor”, what does that say about the 289 Republicans in Congress who have done NOTHING about that? Are they too lazy? Too stupid? Or are THEY they “traitors”?
Or MAYBE you don’t LIKE Obama, but he’s doing an honest job to the best of his ability and based on his beliefs politically…..and “The Blaze” is a sensationalist media outlet created and run by a former drunk who will do & say ANYTHING for a buck, including exploiting his own retarded child!
Beck will get his comeuppance, and it will NOT be pleasant…though it WILL be pretty damn funny!
you definitely have a hatred of the President. can’t wait to read your comments Nov 7. President Obama will be in the White House until January 20, 2017. FORWARD OBAMA 2012.
i’m 100 percent convinced1 anyone who hates barack obama is a racist1. they hate black people in the white house, explain like this pos insults the first lady with racist name-calling!
And I’m 100% convinced that you are one of the most willfully ignorant and intellectually dishonest people who has ever tried posting here. Your comment is a hilarious mixture of dutifully regurgitated DNC talking points and flat-out crackpot progressive insanity.
Accusing someone of being a racist because they vehemently disagree with the opinions and policies of someone who happens to be black is, quite frankly, the lowest, most spineless form of political hackery that exists today. Anyone who goes to that as their staple is clearly incapable of engaging in coherent discussion on factual issues. So congrats on basically proving your ignorance right out of the gate.
Your accusations about Bush running up the deficit are either dishonest or ignorant. Or both. Maybe you’ll let us know which. In case you need a lesson in basic federal government functionality, the President doesn’t set budgets — Congress does. And while Bush did sign said budgets into law, it wasn’t until the Democrats took over Congress in 2006 that they began to rise significantly.
Since I’m fairly certain that words alone mean nothing to you, here is a visual representation that might be easier for you to understand. My only regret is that it’s not drawn in crayon for you: http://home.adelphi.edu/sbloch/deficits.html
As for Obama’s deficits, well let’s not forget that the budget proposals Obama made were actually LARGER than what the Congress ultimately adopted. Not even Democrats voted for Obama’s budgets. So don’t try and tell me that Obama is some fiscal hawk, it just doesn’t wash.
You want to place blame for the skyrocketing deficit, it belongs squarely on the shoulders of the Democrat party. I wish Bush had stood up and vetoed their big spending bills in 2006, but he didn’t have the moxy to do it. Now, Obama is only too happy to keep signing huge deficits into law and somehow tools like yourself continue to suspend rational thought in order to believe it’s all still Bush’s fault.
Obama may not be a textbook socialist, but he openly admitted he hung out with Marxist professors. His family were Marxists. If he underwent some sort of magnificent conversion to Capitalism, you’d think that would have been a significant enough event to make it into at least one of his two books. He is certainly no capitalist. If you think he is just because he said he supports the free market, then you’re just as guilty of not understanding capitalism as you accuse others of not understanding socialism/communism.
The fact that you fail to see why people distrust Communism speaks volumes about your intellectual dishonesty. If you really have studied Marx and Engel like you claim, I fail to see how you’ve managed to gloss over the fact that Communism is responsible for more deaths than any other political system ever in the history of the world.
The one thing you said which was accurate is:
“he’s doing an honest job to the best of his ability and based on his beliefs politically”
I agree. It’s just unfortunate for the country that his ability isn’t very good, and his beliefs have been heavily influenced (by his own admission) by Marxists and other radicals.
Hey, troll, just because you’re too stupid to see the evidence of Obama’s marxist ties, it doesn’t mean the rest of us haven’t done our homework. Why don’t you start here. http://www.trevorloudon.com/2012/06/you-cant-really-prove-obamas-a-commie-try-keywiki/
Go to all of the links. Trevor Loudon has a 600 page book documenting all of the ties Obama has to the DSA, the New Party and the communists.
The mainstream media didn’t vet Obama, but WE DID.
Oh, and about the Republican congress: There are currently 30 bills that were PASSED by the House and sent to the Senate. At least one of them is a budget. Harry Reid, the senate leader, and a DEMOCRAT will not bring ANY of the bills to the floor of the Senate. You’re so obviously ignorant that you don’t even know how a bill is passed.
Maybe you should go watch this School House Rock video and learn something.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyeJ55o3El0
A cartoon seems about your speed.
“…..idiotic repugnican policies such as deregulation of the financial sector that YOU like so much.”
fyi, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act which deregulated (Ruled out much of Glass-Steagall) was signed into law in 1999 by President Clinton with the full support of Treasury Sec. Rubin.
Question:
Do we want a leader who shares the allegiances, values and hopes of the American people, or a sociopath who seeks to simulate sharing the allegiances, values and hopes of the American people?
