The Enemy Within
In August 2011, a conspiracy involving Afghanistan officials, Pakistan nationals and others lured members of Seal
Team Six along with other American forces to a site where the Taliban ambushed and murdered them.
In September 2011, a key Northern Alliance leader - a former President of Afghanistan -was murdered after Taliban
emissaries promised to deliver him an important message of peace. When he welcomed them, they blew him up.
Since these brutal attacks, President Obummer’s strategy has been focused on hastening negotiations with the
Taliban. He has offered to release known Taliban terrorists from detention, (in fact, he’s already released some) and
promised to furnish the Taliban a nice office in Qatar. But, “being tough” on the Taliban, Obummer is demanding that
they not use the office to raise funds to support their terrorism. (Like Clinton’s demand that North Korea NOT use the
nuclear technology that we gave them for weapons.)
Obummer sets an arbitrary date and time for withdrawal of all U.S. forces, and announces it to the entire world. But
when the enemy knows you plan to withdraw and want to negotiate with them, how do you think the enemy views
you? Certainly not as a tower of strength.
Vice President Bite-me says that the Taliban are not our enemies. But American soldiers in Afghanistan say the
Taliban are still creating IED’s, firing bullets and rockets and doing anything they can to kill Americans, so it would
seem that the Taliban certainly think they are our enemy.
A Northern Alliance leader says that of the more than 800 Taliban detainees that have been released, many of them
are fighting, killing and terrorizing again. Yet, Northern Alliance leaders are deliberately being kept out of any planning
for the way forward, and are, in fact, being demonized by the same American government they once helped.
And then there’s Afghan President Karzai. His regime has dropped any pretense of appreciation for American
sacrifice in blood and treasure as demonstrated by his recent threats to align with Pakistan, Iran and China - even as
we continue to prop up his corrupt government by pouring billions of dollars into Afghanistan. The money often fails
to get past corrupt government officials, and has even gone to Taliban-controlled areas.
But President Obummer, Vice-President Bite-me, Secretary of Statism Hillary and Defensive Secretary Leon Panetta
can only agonize over a couple of Marines literally expressing a thought everyone in America should have about dead
terrorists: “Piss on ‘em!”
Afghans view these and other Obummer Administration actions as proof of the Taliban claim that the U.S. has lost in
Afghanistan and is now begging them for negotiations. One Taliban leader released from detention by Obummer for
“medical and end of life purposes” is back in command and recently demanded on Afghan TV that since the
Americans have now lost and are begging for negotiations, Afghans disloyal to the Taliban must come ask
forgiveness and for safety from the Taliban.
It seems obvious to me that the way forward should not include the current Obummer plan of putting our future in
Taliban hands that are covered with American blood. Surely, leaving Afghanistan to the same terrorist thugs who
perpetrated the September 11th attacks is the very definition of insanity!
I think it’s safe to say our military is not the problem. The current weakest link in our chain of command is the
commander in chief and his merry band of Marxists.
Contrary to the liberal mantra, not everything can be resolved by negotiation.
Wake up, America! Our lives, our Republic and the future of our children are under the control of the enemy within!
Are you really going to do it again in 2012?
