Quote:

Well well well. Last month the Obongo administration spoke of "reaching out to moderate elements of the Taliban". It quietly signed off on a deal between the Pakistan government and "moderate elements" which would allow the Taliban to control the Swat Valley (and install Sharia law there) in exchange for "permanent peace" -lol.

Well, it looks like the Bamster and his naive band of amateurs got snookered. The Taliban immediately began using the Swat Valley as a staging ground to take over the whole country and its NUKE ARSENAL. Doh ! They are closing in on the Pakistan capital. Who the fuck knows what will happen next.

Oh, well. That's what happens when you get a totally unqualified liberal amateur in the White House. Thanks to media for not vetting him because they thought having a spook in office would be nifty symbolism. Please tell us more about the Obamas' new dog and Michelle's toned arms. And thanks to all you ignorant Obongo voters for blowin' up the world.












go ahead and read this book

http://www.amazon.com/Gamble-Petraeus-American-Adventure-2006-2008/dp/1594201978/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241721332&sr=1-1

It describes in detail how General Petraeus reached out to moderate elements within the Iraqi insurgents to improve the situation in Iraq. In some cases outright paying them. It was an effective strategy that produced real results.

In other words....read more, post less.
