 File under: Taliban 

#1 The Taliban are simply no match for seasoned military leader and strategist Obama. Peace should be breaking out at any moment now.

#2 Can we please just cut a deal with these guys and get the hell out of that cesspool! A-stan is nothing but a bottomless pit and a terrible place to fight. There is no upside to our staying there. Save lives and money now...get out!

#3 @ #2 it's exactly your attitude that the terrorists are counting on.
I say we stay the course and f*ck the terrorists up real bad.
If it were me, I would order up a hundred drone attacks a day.
And fight the war under WWII rules of engagement.

Win and leave!

#4 Reconcile? Yeah. Right. I believe it.

I don't think the Taliban version of reconcile means the same thing as Petraeus thinks it means.

#5 President Karzai broke down into tears today in regards to the condition of his country. So how's that "Taliban reaching out" thing workin for you Big Zero.

#6 Eh, <>i>Remote Man. Man? of little memory.

A reminder. Every time we took it too the enemy, only to cut and run during the past 25 years of war with Islamic radicals, they always followed us closer and closer back home to kick try to kick our #sses. Until they finally killed thousands one morning along the Eastern coast of the US of A simultaneously. You wanna run some more? Guess what, we now no longer have a secure country to run and hide in anymore.

America throughout the last couple hundred years has always been the super power good guy in a world full of bad guys who could stay in a fight until a victory. Our enemy now has been fighting people like us for say, maybe 1500 years. Their Mosques also happen to be springing up all over the place in the US and some guy who calls himself President of our country grew up one of them. So, where you gonna go now?

#7 heh - could all be Petraeus playing the Talibs. Next, he should say several #2's and #3's have surreptitiously held talks with the US forces
