“Look, the Taliban, per se, is not our enemy.”
- VP Joe Biden
December 2011
9 days ago the White House told us that the Taliban was not our enemy.
Today the Taliban blew up 3 more NATO troops in Afghanistan.
The Washington Post reported:
Three NATO service members have been killed by a roadside bomb in eastern Afghanistan, the alliance said Wednesday. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying the target was a U.S. military convoy.
NATO’s statement said that the deaths occurred Tuesday, but provided no further details about the incident or the nationalities of the troops.
The Taliban said the attack took place in Paktiya province, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) south of Kabul.
The latest deaths bring December’s toll of foreign troops killed in Afghanistan to 23, for a total of 539 deaths so far this year. The yearly tally is considerably lower than for 2010, when more than 700 troops died. The number of wounded has remained high, dipping only slightly from last year’s total of more than 5,000 service members.
Someone tell the White House.

Whenever Joe Biden has an original thought (seldom, since plagiarism is his favorite tool) it usually resembles something that Rainman would have said. But at least Rainman could count cards.

Bite me may have right, the taliban seems to be an ally of the obama administration.

We certainly have lost our focus and will to win. It is time to bring everyone home.

They’re not listening, no one in Washington is listening. Hopefully on November 6th, they’ll hear us loud and clear!

How come none of this is being reported on the Nightly News?

Joe needs a nice long vacation with his Taliban buddies. The fresh mountain air would do him good.

I’m not a bg fan of Biden, but in this case, he is right. We wanted to destroy Osama’s guys and we have. The Taliban was the government in power and as hosts they had to reject our ultimatums as a matter of honor. They are the enemies of the Afghani people, not the United States. If I was a Taliban fighter, I’d be trying to kill us, too. They live there, we don’t.

God, if we don’t get these pathetic dipsh!ts outa power, we are so screwed. It totally ties me up in knots reading one moronic thing after another for three plus years. What in the world did we do to deserve having such a bunch of feckless, ivy league, mofo-cretins in office? If Obamao gets another four years, we might as well become reeeal serious about withdrawing totally and becoming survivalists.

Intellectual lightweights often throw out a latin term to give the impression that they are learned and give their statement ambiguity.
