Analysts to Obama: There are no Taliban “moderates,” you nitwit

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 9, 2009 04:26 PM

Have pity on the poor man. He’s tired.

And living in a dream world:

U.S. President Barack Obama’s proposal to reach out to moderate Taliban will fail to end the Afghan insurgency as it is inflexible Taliban leaders who are orchestrating the war, not moderates, analysts said.

Obama, in an interview with the New York Times newspaper published on its website on Saturday, expressed an openness to adapting tactics in Afghanistan that had been used in Iraq to reach out to moderate elements there.

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.

Karzai’s pro-Western administration and the growing number of foreign forces in Afghanistan have increasingly come under attack from a resurgent Taliban, with Obama now describing Afghanistan as a top foreign policy priority for his new administration.

“‘Moderate Taliban’ is like ‘moderate killer’. Is there such a thing?”, asked writer and analyst Qaseem Akhgar.

Much more where that came from…here.

    Obviously BO is once again showing his lack of knowledge of military affairs … (I guess he was too busy backing Dingy Harry and his cohorts like Murtha proclaiming defeat and war crimes to bother learning what was actually going on …)

    We found a way to get the Iraqi people that were living in daily fear of their lives and their family’s lives to openly support us …

    When it became apparent that they could safely and openly support the new freedoms they were being offered the conflict turned a big corner toward success …

    Although some of the “converts” had at one time fought against us it was from more of a viewpoint of being in pursuit of survival than that of a true Jihadi extremist …

    Neither the Taliban nor the hard-core Al Qaeda fighters were swayed to our side … there wasn’t a “moderate” to be found amongst them …

    Just more liberal “pie-in-the-sky” … not sure if it was “Sweet Potato” or “Coconut Cream” …

    I get it – by reaching out to the moderates, the radicals will become jealous or suddenly develop a change of heart and will give up their quest for subjugate/murder infidels.

    It’s ridiculous to believe there is such thing as a moderate Taliban.

    The administration may be incorrectly assuming because there are moderate Shiites or Sunni’s that there is such a thing as a moderate Taliban.

    Sharia Law is the hallmark of the taliban. Pity the women and school aged girls of Afghanistan if we are hoodwinked into believing this folly.

    In this case, I’ll go with the theory that absence of evidence is evidence of absence.

    Perhaps B.O. can invite the moderate taliban over and he can give them some DVD’s…or something nice like…uh…I don’t know…say…one of the busts of Lincoln or something. Heck….maybe a few of them can stay in Lincoln’s bedroom too!

    Hold the phone, Central!

    This means that the democrats now agree that Bush’s Iraq policies were successful!

    I don’t know if this is a good thing (good that Bush’s policies are successful) or a bad thing (bad that the democrats now finally find them successful.)

    It’s kind of like moderate Mafia — they will moderately make you an offer you can’t refuse. Or something.

    They must be moderates. The liberals adore them.

    *Surely there are still some thinking Democrats in D.C. that will come out against this insane policy; As I have said before, we have a Carter with a tan when we need a Churchill with a plan; P-BO is rapidly dismantling our Constitutional Republic with every move that he makes.

    There are no Taliban “moderates,” you nitwit

    There are in this idot’s brain dead world.
    No brain activity, pull the plug.

    In fact there is no such thing as a ‘moderate’ Islamist. Any Islamist who calls himself a ‘moderate’ does follow the teaching of Mohamed. And if your not going to follow the teachings of your religious leader, whats the point? It’s not up to disciples to pick and choose what parts to follow.

    Try to be a 1/3 Islamist. Pretty silly.

    Of course, I guess you could always be like the Mormans. If you don’t like the teachings, have your elders vote the teachings out and change them.
