One Year Ago Obama Reached Out to the Taliban For Peace… Now They're Planting Bombs in New York City
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, May 6, 2010, 5:32 AM
Just think… It was only one year ago that Barack Obama reached out to the Taliban for peace in Afghanistan. Analysts said Obama’s remarks resembled a dream more than reality.
Less than a year later Taliban-trained jihadists are planting bombs in Times Square.
This undated image, obtained from orkut.com on May 4, 2010, shows Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistani-American who is suspected as the driver of a bomb-laden SUV into New York’s Time Square on May 1. Shahzad, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Pakistan, was arrested late on May 3 at John F. Kennedy International Airport by FBI agents in New York as he tried to take a flight to Dubai, local and federal officials said. (REUTERS)
Authorities now believe that Faisal Shahzad was trained by the Taliban and made a dry run in Manhattan.
The Wall Street Journal reported, via HotAir:
U.S. and Pakistani investigators are giving increased credence to links between Times Square bombing suspect Faisal Shahzad and the Pakistan Taliban, with one senior Pakistani official saying Mr. Shahzad received instruction from the Islamist group’s suicide-bomb trainer…
Mr. Shahzad received training in explosives in a camp run by Qari Hussain, the official said. Mr. Hussain is a senior commander with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, the Pakistan Taliban’s formal name, and trains suicide bombers, the official said. Mr. Hussain is also a cousin of Hakimullah Mehsud, the Pakistan Taliban’s chief. The 30-year-old Mr. Shahzad has admitted to investigators that he received training from militants in Waziristan, U.S. officials said…
But, Obama believed he could talk these moderates into a peace deal.
He’s living in a dream world.

Now that we’ve failed to please the terrorists by showing them our unclenched fist, maybe we can use some more of that Liberal Progressive, smart, tough diplomacy by dropping our pants and bending over for them.
nadadhimmi commented:
Wait, what?, are you sure?. But they only hated us because of Bush! Barack told us that, he said he was sure about it and if we just liked the Muslims they would like us back and everything would be cool, man, cool. I think we should investigate Chaney and Haliburton, they probably framed that poor guy just ’cause he’s a muslim. We all love each other now don’t we? How about all those Hollywood stars wearing Palestinian head scarves and stuff? Don’t they know we’re on their side now? (disgusted sarc off)………… But bank on this; the msm will spin this to cover up for the muslims and Obama.

Is this an example of smart power? If so, give me the dumb George Bush kind any day.

olm commented:
Just read on Atlas Shrugged that there was an abandoned truck on on a bridge yesterday n NYC that closed the bridge…………..
News coverage is getting worse, as if that were possible. But I guess in Barryworld the Taliban loves us and so there can’t be terrorism.
Bill H commented:
Note to myself: Never go near New York, Los Angeles or San Francisco. One of these hokey detonators may just work.
Opaobie commented:
Not only are they planting bombs in NYC, they are building a 13-story MOSQUE in one of the damaged Trade Center buildings. In case you haven’t learned ANYTHING about Islam, anywhere a mosque is built becomes MUSLIM territory. It is like planting the flag. They CLAIM it for Islam. But for Heaven’s sake don’t let an Evangelical Christian even stand on a public sidewalk and pray and read the Bible; that’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Harrison commented:
Paging Jimmy Carter…
Harrison commented:
…and the mosque is two blocks away where Burlington Coat Factory used to be.

The mosque being built next door to 9/11 Ground Zero
[One of the investors for future oncoming funds is listed as the Cordoba Initiative, defined as an “interfaith group” – and founded by Imam Feisal. Cordoba is the name militant Muslims often invoke when they recall the glory of Muslim empire in the centuries they occupied Spain.]

He noted that the three politicians’ campaign war chests are
heavily funded by radical Islamists who support the mosque.

So this is something we didn’t expect from our new pres. Obama can’t help what he is doing to our country. He was born a Muslim raised as a Muslim. He didn’t have those records sealed. He as an adult, listen to the rant garbage from Rev. Wright for 20yrs. And does anybody know he was also a Muslim. So now we have Obama a Muslim in the White House. The big question, is he a Sunni or Shite, if he is a Shite Muslim he will be very friendly to Iran and not the Arabs……
alice commented:
One more thing. Valerie Jarret senior advisor to the pres is from Iran along with the person he bought his house from Tony Resco in jail for fraud, is another Muslim from Pakistan. How many people know Obama’s $200 million in election money came from Pakistan. Back in the 80′s this was his second home. Not the USA, and how about his college room mates, yea there both from Pakistan. Is anyone not connected to he Obama catheter tip starting to see a very dangerous pattern…..Don’t begin to take my word for any of this, research any of this yourself. None of this is hidden, or sealed like Obama’s other records. I guess he didn’t think anyone in the US would even care. After all we voted for him and his lies….
alice commented:
Answer to Garu, you just keep sucking of the Obama catheter tip you dangerous fool. You should be under lock and key somewhere like a mental ward. It’s people like you that got this country where we are now at the ledge of complete collapse. Your God Obama taught Cloward and Pivin and Saul Alunski on how to destroy a system or country. That’s his plan, of fundamentally changing our country. With the help of all his unelected Czars, and Communist rat bastards like Andy Stern and Rev.Wright….. All Muslim’s, wake up you damn fool, do you want this country to be Muslim. We’re heading that way at light speed………..
alice commented:
One more thing does anybody know just who rote the Obamacare health plan. Well he’s been to the White House more than anybody but Michell. His name is Andy Stern well who is that. He is the pres of SEIU…… Service Employs International Union. He’s pretty much like the pres of Acron by any other name……. Social engineer, reinvestment act, community organizer, garbage commie crap that helped melt down our mortage market, and start the total destruction of our country. It’s all a great big Muslim plan. Take over of Universities, preach the political correct vomit, grab any political position, maybe even the pres of the country. That’s where we as a country are now, so what are we as a country going to do. Give up and let them, the Muslim’s have it. As soon as the Muslim get a mosque established it just like a part of their country not ours. They can preach all the hate and willful demise of our country…….
