Obama cracked down hard on taliban

they got nowhere else to run obama shouldnt accept peace an should continue the killing of the terrorists like osama bin laden an such hes gotten so far

i love how he is doign all the right moves unlike bush
 
I'm not at all surprised. The US actually supported the Taliban AND Osama Bin Laden in the 1980's after the Soviets invaded in a successful effort to defeat communism. The Patriot Act has been passed AND renewed subsequent to the 9/11 attacks; the terrorist "boogieman" is dead. From a national security perspective, what exactly would be the point in continuing to fight against the Taliban?
 
The Taliban has governed Afghanistan before and were in power when the 9/11 attacks occurred, so the UN had them removed from power. The group as a whole is not considered to be terrorist by the international community, but they do sympathize with al-Qa'eda and the more militant among them have been anti-American in the past. Karzai is seen to be a rather weak leader, with a corrupt brother who is heavily involved in the drug trade. The Taliban, on the other hand, has strong leadership and would vehemently resist (through violence if necessary) having no voice in how Afghanistan is governed. A similar deal was worked out with the Shiites and other sects in Iraq in 2009 and 2010 so that our combat troops could leave.

President Obama has wanted to end the war in Afghanistan at the earliest possible time and his administration has been tirelessly working towards this end so that our troops can come home at last. The tentative date so far is August 31 (the end of summer) this year. If a cooperative can be formed in Afghanistan so that all people have representation in their government, this is a good thing that just might mean an earlier withdrawal. I'm for these peace talks and I'm for ending this eleven-year war.
 
Its a smart idea Russia couldn't win in Afghanistan in fact history will show NO-ONE has won there so what makes us think we are going to why should we keep sacrificing our soldiers lives. ..

Bin Laden is dead the 19 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia and thousands fo innocent Iraqi's died its time to find anther solution besides war.
 
Gotta say that sh!ts me .. i am an aussie and not a war monger but the taliban are a bunch of ar$eholes ... and just when we were all making progress against them ... I'm really pissed off now.
