Since 2001 over 1700 of our American war fighters have been killed and almost 15,000 have been wounded in Afghanistan. It has been a brutal slug fest with our forces squaring off every day against one particular enemy: The Taliban.
In August the Taliban shot down a Chinook helicopter costing the lives of thirty members of the elite Seal Team Six. The feeling in the Intelligence Community was that this attack was carried out with help from spies on the ground and it was “payback” for the team’s involvement in the killing of bin Laden. How did the Taliban know Seal Team Six was the unit that killed their hero? Our idiot Vice President Joe Biden told them so.
Shortly after the bin Laden kill Idiot Joe said this at a formal ceremony, “Let me briefly acknowledge tonight’s distinguished honorees. Admiral James Stavridis is a, is the real deal. He can tell you more about and understands the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday.”
Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ directive that no one reveal the unit’s exact identity meant nothing to Biden. To the Democrats this is just “Joe being Joe.”
Now Jackass Joe has outdone himself with his latest bray telling Newsweek, “Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That’s critical. There is not a single statement that the president has ever made in any of our policy assertions that the Taliban is our enemy because it threatens U.S. interests. If, in fact, the Taliban is able to collapse the existing government, which is cooperating with us in keeping the bad guys from being able to do damage to us, then that becomes a problem for us.”
If this makes you want to scream, cry or do both, what Obama’s Press Secretary Jay Carney offered in defense of Biden’s stupidity will probably make you feel worse.
Offering the tired old “taken out of context” line, Carney said, “… what the vice president was reflecting is that — and this is related to the reconciliation process that I was just discussing — is that the Taliban, per se — while we are fighting them — it is not the elimination — the elimination of the Taliban is not the issue here.”
Remember this is the bunch that won’t let us even say “war on terror”, so in their demented Leftist minds how can the Taliban or anyone else for that matter be our enemy?
We have no enemies because Barack Hussein Obama says we don’t! How reassuring!

Why do I see everything this Administration does is designed to bring about a worldwide caliphate? Blowing out inconvenient Muslim dictators, spending our talent, military and treasure by idiotic energy policies, creating a moral vacuum by driving out our Judeo-Christian more's, refusing to admit we are at war with Islamic jihadists while trying to create fear and resentment between religious groups and sending out George Soros' funded sixth column groups to eat out the people's substance, BHO is living like a sultan already. Just observe his lifestyle at our expense, including at least 172 Air Force One flights for mostly political junkets and vacations. Nancy Pelosi was a piker compared to this individual and his wife. Muslim dictators have been running their countries like this for 1200 years.
Aren't you proud of our idiot 2nd in command. He's the only reason
I'm against impeaching his communitator in charge boss. Can't you
just picture our foreign policy? I think even Hitlary would throw in the
towel and I wouldn't blame her. "You can't fix stupid."
OSIAYO-(HELLO),
THE FIRST word means "HELLO" in the Cherokee language, and I am very proud to know some of the language of my Grandmothers Tribe, and as far as this crazy man. Well he has said some very memorial stuff before. I have often wondered what he was on, and THERE is not a way on GODS Green Earth that a normal man, or women says stuff like this. God help us please.
Wado–(THANK YOU).
