File under: Taliban

#1 "We are in a position where if Afghanistan ceased and desisted from being a haven for people who do damage and have as a target the United States of America and their allies, that's good enough," Biden said.

Yes, as if we needed more proof...

#2 Keep yourself protected and under cover, men, the Taliban may not be the enemy, but someone shooting at you!

#4 Translation of Biden's remarks:
'9/11 is forgiven and forgotten!'

Why should a nuclear Iran then fear the consequences of sponsoring massive attacks on the West?
Why should a nuclear North Korea?

Nuts!

#5 I'm sure there is historical precedent here, somewhere. For example, maybe Henry A. Wallace, "Ol' Frank" Roosevelt's second VP, at some point might have said that "The Nazis are not our enemy" or "The Japanese are not our enemy".

Or maybe during the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK's VP, LBJ might have said that "The Soviet Union is not our enemy."

Or maybe not.

#6 Obama and Biden, just keep telling the Muslim nuts that it is okay to keep doing what you are doing. That should make things much better.

#7 Quite an achievement, the Per Se's are almost as dangerous as the Triple Dip Cone's.

Oh, wait - were you talking about the Talibunnies?

#11 Did Biden REALLY say that?

My goodness, he's a blithering idiot.

Could someone stick a sock in his mouth next time a news microphone is put in front of him?
