Obama’s VP Joe Biden Says, “The Taliban Is Not Our Enemy” … HUH?

More unreal and unbelievable comments from the mouth of the Obama Administration when it comes to terrorism. This time it’s Vice President Joe Biden who says in an interview with the Daily Beast, “the Taliban really isn’t our enemy.” How did these people ever get elected? Ok America, how are you feeling about Obama’s foreign policy again?

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.

As Weasel Zippers states, this might come as a surprise to the US troops fighting in Afghanistan. Clueless, or is this what folks like Biden and Obama really believe? You might want to ask yourself that question just before you vote in 2012. If the Taliban is not our enemy, maybe Barack Obama would like to explain why we are fighting the war in Afghanistan, per se?

Taliban Suicide Bomber Kills 13 American Military Troops in Kabul, Afghanistan

Sadly, 13 American military heroes have been killed in Kabul, Afghanistan.  According to NATO accounts, a Taliban terrorist suicide bomber rammed a van into a NATO bus killing 13 American military troops and four Afghans.  This was the deadliest single attack against the US led coalition since the Taliban shot down a NATO helicopter on August 6 in an eastern Afghan province, killing 30 U.S. troops. A Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, claimed responsibility, saying that a suicide bomber named Abdul Rahman Hazarbos

A Taliban suicide bomber rammed a van into an armored NATO bus Saturday in Kabul, killing 13 American troops and four Afghans, U.S. and Afghan officials said, in the deadliest attack on coalition forces in more than two months.

The explosion, which occurred as the convoy was passing the American University, sparked a fireball and littered the street with shrapnel. Heavy black smoke poured from burning wreckage at the site.

The armored personnel carrier, known as a Rhino was sandwiched between of a convoy of mine-resistant military vehicles traveling on a four-lane highway frequently used by NATO forces in a southwestern section of the city.

US Helicopter Shot Down in Afghanistan: 31 US Special Forces Killed – Taliban Takes Credit

Thirty one American special forces and troops and seven Afghan commandos were killed in Afghanistan after a military helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan.The Taliban has taken credit for the incident. ABC News reports that 25 US Navy Seals were on board. American officials stated that it is the deadliest single incident for American forces in Afghanistan since the decade long war began.

The Taliban claimed they downed the helicopter with rocket fire while it was taking part in a raid on a house where insurgents were gathered in the province of Wardak late Friday. It said wreckage of the craft was strewn at the scene.

NATO confirmed the overnight crash took place and that there “was enemy activity in the area.” But it said it was still investigating the cause and conducting a recovery operation at the site. It did not release details or casualty figures.

We say a prayer and thank the brave souls that died for keeping us free and battling terrorism. We also say a prayer and given our condolences to the families, loved ones and friends of those that have died, how difficult a time this must be for them. God bless and rest in peace.

The Jawa Report brings up an very interesting question that needs to be answered; however, we most likely already know who is responsible. The Taliban have taken credit for the downing of this chopper; however, where would the Taliban have obtained surface to air armaments?

Now the question is: who in the world would have an interest in supplying the Taliban with such good surface to air armaments?

If you think about it there is only one answer. Pakistani intelligence who were humiliated by the death of UBL have every motivation to prevent another similar operation.

Of course the Gateway Pundit reminds us that in June the White House confirmed that they were holding peace talks with the Taliban.

UPDATE I: Crash kills members of SEAL Team 6.

Although many of the Seals belonged to the same unit as the Seal team that took out Bin Laden, none of them are blieved to be ones that took part in the raid that took out Bin Laden.

U.S. officials tell The Associated Press that they believe that none of the Navy SEALs who died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan had participated in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, although they were from the same unit that carried out the bin Laden mission.

Taliban Suicide Bombers Attack Kabul’s Hotel Inter-Continent in Afghanistan

Kabul’s Hotel Inter-Continent in Afghanistan was attacked by Taliban gunmen and suicide bombers. I am guessing these were not moderate Taliban? As the Jawa Reports states, the hotel attack was a Mumbai style attack.

Six Taliban gunmen and suicide bombers attacked Kabul’s Hotel Inter-Continental in a brazen, carefully orchestrated operation that began Tuesday night and continued into Wednesday, ending with their deaths some six hours after it began.

“All six attackers have been killed, and the situation is secure,” Interior Minister Bismullah Khan said Wednesday morning. By then, the hotel was ablaze.

Two police were wounded in the attack; the number of civilian casualties was not clear, he said.

Chief of Criminal Investigation Mohammad Zahir told CNN that at least eight civilians were killed and six were injured.

Taliban gunman killed. With Taliban action like this, guess it’s time for a military pull out. Much, much more and updates at Hot Air.

David Beamer, Father of United 93 Victim Todd Beamer Says Barack Obama’s Taken Too Much Credit for Bin Laden’s Demise

DAVID BEAMER ROLLS IN THIS INTERVIEW …

Is any one really going to challenge David Beamer, the father of Todd “Let’s Roll” Beamer, the hero of Flight 93. Take a good listen to the voice of reason of a father who lost his son on September 11, 2001 and America gained a forever hero in the war on terror.

David Beamer says, one act of getting Bin Laden does not change or alter the fact that Barack Obama has been so wrong in his policies in the war on terror. Which can probably explain the small bounce in the polls.

David Beamer discussed today on Fox News that although he was relieved that terrorist Osama Bin Laden was killed at the hands of US Navy Seals, he was however a bit disgusted by the actions of President Obama following Bin Laden’s death. David Beamer stated that Barack Obama has taken far too much credit for Bin Laden’s death and his use of the personal pronoun “I” was rather offensive.

He put too much of the spot light on himself and the took too much of the credit. Beamer went on to say that the MSM then went on to provide a false narrative of Obama that his decisive was one of the greatest war time decisions, bold and gutsy. However, what would one expect from the state run media that has been nothing but a propaganda arm for Obama.

God Bless Dave Beamer because his comments during this must see interview above was spot on and had to be said. Todd’s dad said that if anything, Obama’s decision to move on Bin Laden was far from bold or gutsy. He went on to say, that as the information unfolded when the CIA stated to the President that they knew where and when Bin Laden was, exactly what was Obama going to do … nothing? It was one thiong for a President to allow Bin Laden to get away prior to 9-11, how could a president ever survive in office allowing Osama Bin Laden to get away after September 11, 2001?
