| #2 The Republican chairman of the House intelligence committee took aim Thursday at an Obama administration plan to transfer five prisoners out of U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay as part of a package of negotiations with the Taliban. The Taliban are playing Obama for a sucker. He is supposedly responding to a letter from bug-eye. One official said Omar complained the US had not done enough to establish good faith for negotiations, such as arranging the release of Taliban prisoners held in the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Now they deny sending any letter. Taliban deny sending letter to Obama |

| #1 Is haggling over danegeld for the Taliban really preferable to precipitous withdrawal? The West should just leave Afghanistan, preferably after destroying whatever was built with Western aid after 2001. Tell the Afghans that there will be retaliation for every terror attack facilitated by Afghanistan. Then we'll see whether the realists' claim that islamofascists can be deterred is actually true. |
