Check this out:
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday at a U.N. conference on Afghanistan that Taliban members in Afghanistan who abandoned extremism must be granted an "honorable form of reconciliation."
"We must also support efforts by the government of Afghanistan to separate the extremists of al Qaeda and the Taliban from those who have joined their ranks not out of conviction, but out of desperation," Clinton said at an international conference on Afghanistan in the Hague.
"This is, in fact, the case for a majority of those fighting with the Taliban," she told delegates from more than 70 countries at the meeting.
Clinton's comments echo those of U.S. President Barack Obama who said this month that he was open to the idea of reaching out to moderate elements of the Taliban.
Where is the moderate Taliban, anyway? How do we differentiate? Are the moderates the ones who behead you quick, as opposed to the extremes, who take their time? Come on now. I guess this Taliban is not very moderate:
The commander of the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility Tuesday for a deadly assault on a Pakistani police academy and said the group was planning a terrorist attack on the White House that would "amaze" the world. Baitullah Mehsud, who has a $5 million bounty on his head from the U.S., said Monday's attack on the outskirts of the eastern city of Lahore was retaliation for U.S. missile strikes against militants along the Afghan border.
"Soon we will launch an attack in Washington that will amaze everyone in the world," Mehsud told The Associated Press by phone. He provided no details.
But you don't understand, conservatives...these people are oppressed...blah de blah blah...No liberals, you don't understand. You don't negotiate with evil. You eradicate it. But wait, this gets more interesting...I guess the moderate Taliban doesn't want to take HillRod and Barry the Buffoon up on their offer of love and joy:
The Taliban tonight dismissed American overtures for peace in Afghanistan.
Crushing an olive branch offered by President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Taliban leaders rejected a U.S. appeal to moderate militants as ‘a lunatic idea.’
The Americans are hoping to isolate war weary Afghan fighters from their hard line Taliban and al Qaeda bosses by proposing an amnesty in return for them laying down their arms.
But her appeal was quickly shot down by Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, who said the Islamic fundamentalists would keep fighting until the U.S. pulled out of the country.
‘They have to go and find the moderate Taliban, their leader and speak to them. This is a lunatic idea,’ he said.
Newsflash, liberal morons, there is no moderate Taliban. They hate us. They want us dead. Nuff said. Therefore, we have to fight them. But, I guess, we could always do it the Clinton 90s way, and in ten years our kids will have another 9/11 on their hands....but that is OK, Barry can always say it didn't happen on his watch and seek to foist blame on someone else.
These people are scary stupid with their naivete and self hatred. It is no wonder they can't say War on Terror, and seek euphemisms. It might make them feel better about Francing our way to surrender.
