On Sunday the Taliban attacked a US outpost in Afghanistan injuring 77 US soldiers.

A powerful Taliban truck bomb that wounded 77 American soldiers and killed five Afghans outside a combat outpost served as a reminder on Sunday that 10 years after the Sept. 11 attacks, nearly 100,000 U.S. troops are still fighting a war that shows no signs of slowing down.

Today it was reported that Barack Obama gave the Taliban his blessing to open their first political offices in Qatar.
The Daily Mail reported:
Talks to end the 10-year war in Afghanistan could be on the horizon after the U.S. backed a plan to let the Taliban open political headquarters in the Middle East.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is likely to open a base in Qatar before Christmas, The Times said.
It is hoped this will help facilitate peace talks which could lead to a truce with the Taliban.
Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar is understood to be backing the negotiations.
When the HQ is opened in the Qatari capital Doha, it will be the first time the Islamist group has been treated like a political party since it fell from power in 2001.
The Times said the Taliban wants to make sure its members are free from harassment and arrest whilst based in the city.
The Gulf state is believed to have agreed to let the group have a base after Washington decided that it should be located away from the influence of Pakistan.

I’m going to puke.
The Taliban murders and harms American soldiers and the POTUS gives them a blessing.
Something is wrong and I feel like I am the only who knows it.
It is just me?

“The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan”
Says it all for me.
Skandia Recluse commented:
So there is some light at the end of the tunnel? Moving forward, we can move on from this tragic decade in American History toward a more hopeful future where we can find peace.
Sounds like a plan.

No, it’s not just you. There are countless more who feel the same way. I think, though, we are past just suspicions. It’s deliberate and it’s real.
The inmates are running the asylum.

No, #1 It is not just you… Unbelievable

Reagan – Peace through superior firepower
Obama – Peace through superior appeasement
Carter – Peace through superior appeasement
Tell me again which past president Obama reminds you of?
tommy mc donnell commented:
the taliban is who this administration has backed all along. the muslim marxist alliance.
Nadadhimmi commented:
Something must be done to eliminate ‘The Islamic Emirate of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue”.
Ruebacca commented:
We need to wash our hands of Islamic countries. Pull out and let them rot. They have been rotting for 14 centuries in a hate filled social system.
You can’t make bricks without straw. You can’t make a modern society without a senses of decency, tolerance and forgiveness.
Reaganite Republican commented:
Why doesn’t Obama quit playing games and just declare us a caliphate already?
No need for the charades, we know that time Barry
Sickofobama commented:
#3:
You also make me puke.
dries commented:
How is this supposed towork? Isn’t government in Kabul the legitimate one? Will Obama promote Taliban as government-in-exile?
Campfollower commented:
That Taliban PR guy who attended Yale will probably be one of the “delegation.” I’m sure he’ll be valuable to us, as he’s likely been to the White House or partying with Soulja Boy (what a loser that guy is).
Obama should send his uncle too. It could be a real ACORN-like community organizing thing.
Jenny commented:
The Taliban hasn’t changed since its power was taken away from them in Afghanistan by GWB after 9/11/01. The Taliban are terrorists and will not change. This is a slap in the face.

re: “Barack Obama Gives Taliban Blessing to Open Political Offices in Qatar”
Well, isn’t that freaking WHITE of him?!
At least he’s not hiding who he supports! The ‘Arab Spring’ revolutions, aren’t they great?
big L commented:
Karzai is referred to as the Mayor of Kabul.That is how limited his power is.
So what is our plan there.
Boy Obama is alinsky all the time. I wish we’d never met him.I;d liketo know who he really is.
Taliban stone women and men, blasted the stone figures, for all the ledftie museum goers.They shot up the animals in the zoo for fun. tortured the kids. women and girls are brutalized by law and by men in their lives, (where is NOW,now in thiis?)/Blow up our troops.Whine about any military action in response.
these are the enemy.and we give them an embassy?
vagabond trader commented:
Should have gone Hirohito on them. First step, take away their “religion.” Sorry, the only way to even attempt an intervention on the barbarous “culture.”
#1AMERICAN commented:
now if that doesn’t give enough evidence where the mooslum in chief stands…. nothing will…he is the most corrupt, illegal, person ever to hold office
Ginger commented:
So how much is it going to cost us to ramp up the Taliban? What a joke!
Hey CONGRESS grow some and kick this kenyan fraud out of our white house. Covering for him you will have blood on your hands! You are going to have to face riots anyway so do your job! I would rather have riots then “civil” war!
bigkahuna commented:
Well if the moron gave his blessing for a political office for the Taliban….. Then he should have no problem using it as target practice when its full of leaders.
Let them experience the new political reallity they seem to embrace…. Just hire a suicide bomber and dont tell him what he is bombing. Tell him it is a US embassy…..or use a couple cruise missles.
Obama: Killing the American dream one day at a time.
Sam Stone commented:
Obama is a traitor to the country he so desires to “fundamentally transform”.
He is not an American in any sense of the word.
katablog.com commented:
Do you really believe that? You will have “peace” until the Taliban regroups.
olm commented:
This is nuts. I get what Odumbo is doing but what I don’t get it why the portion of Congress who is not on board with this doesn’t speak up.
Obama may as well declare a caliphate now and give up the game of pretend.
MN Jim commented:
obama was born and raised Muslim. He said in his (or Bill Ayres) book that he would side with the Muslims. This should come as no suprise to anyone who was paying attention before the election. The shock is that people actually voted for obama and many are still supporting him in spite of repeated spits in the face of the US.
Multitude commented:
Now we can understand why Barack, Hillary, Janet and Eric found it necessary to move the definition of a terrorist from oversees radicals like the Taliban and AQI, to soccer moms, middle class dads, and others who self-organize to peacefully protest the voracious consumption and bloat of the obese Federal government.

“The Times said the Taliban wants to make sure its members are free from harassment and arrest whilst based in the city.”
“Candygram for Taliban” Candygram for Taliban”…. KA-BOOM!!!!
Fred Beloit commented:
Whoa whoa. Obama’s peace-nick base is mad at him because he is taking out the Al Q and Taliban leadership using drones and continuing Bush’s war policies. Now we are supposed to get mad at him over a Taliban office in Qutar? We can’t have it both ways can we? Well can we?
jorgen commented:
Good, then it is easier to kill them with a missile.
Always On Watch commented:
Sounds like treason to me.
regularguy commented:
I mourn for those who died on 911, in Iraq and Afghanistan who have died and will die all the while being betrayed by this administration. The American people have let you all down because they willfully elected these traitors to office. This administration, just like the ones who watched the bloodbath ensue in southeast Asia after Vietnam, is synonymous with betrayal. We are watching a slow motion desecration of all their graves in the name of a cowardly diplomacy with evil.
THE WORD OF G0D commented:
THIS STORY IS FALSE. You’re all a bunch of ignorant morons if you believe it. Look it up. It didn’t happen. Get back to work. Maybe if you spent less time blowing fake news stories out of proportion, and more time being productive, the economy wouldn’t be in the state it is. Or better yet, GO GET AN EDUCATION.
– This has been THE WORD OF G0D.
Ipso oFact commented:
This perfectly illustrates how liberals think they can convert adversaries into allies by simply being nice to them. This flawed logic is rooted in the liberal’s mistaken belief that we are evil, and that people only hate us because we have been so dismissive and arrogant.
Liberals always come to this absurd position out of cowardice because they don’t ever want to face the truth that one day, good and decent people will eventually have to confront evil and in doing so, they will indeed have to raise their fists, because evil can only be stopped by force.
Since they are such cowards, liberals have developed this failed utopian view to justify their passivity, and in an attempt to rationalize that which is irrational. Clearly, “Make love, not war”, was one such mantra they employed in the 60′s.
The problem is that everyone sees the weakness of the person who makes friends with you only to keep you from being an adversary. Thus, the coward reveals himself to be deficient and the bully seizes upon that deficiency in order to prevail – does anyone remember “Peace in our time”?
This is why Obama will fail (yet again). The Islamic fundamentalists will take advantage of Obama’s cowardice and weakness only to gain a foothold for further aggression. I have been to Qatar. We have an immense military base about 20 miles outside of Doha. Bringing the Taliban to Doha will never be of any benefit to us
Kathy from Kansas commented:
How much more do we need to try this guy for treason?

THE WORD OF G0D
I’m pretty sure the vast majority of people here is better educated than you. The story is false? Maybe, but if you had any knowledge of the topic, then you’d know that several EU governments want to reach out to the Taliban, they want to negotiate with these scumsuckers. And Obama has been pushing for it as well.
Basically, this is appeasement that won’t work. It’s surrender, nothing else.
The story simply shows the future. Once the Allies are out of A-stan it won’t take long for the Talis to take over again. All this nation building nonsese is for the rats, has been from day one. And too expensive anyway. As long as they have islam they will never be our friends.
One nuclear bomb would have prevented all of this.
They destroy the WTC, the US nukes Kabul. That would have been the proper reply.
Questionman commented:
Jim, have you become a bigot liar, too? I mean you already were. This story is false. I just read the ENTIRE daily mail article. Not one mention of Obama ANYWHERE, but keep on lying to appease your sick racist readers. speaking of which…
You died any and made you scum-sucking racists deciders of who
s American and who’s not? According to you, Only white christians are Americans.
