apoplectic, simply apoplectic over thisWho the fuck does he think was running Afghanistan giving aide and comfort and a whole lot more to the group who attacked us?
Who the fuck does he think killed people like Michael Spann?
Is he going to let that fucking puke John Walker Lindh free as well?
Taliban involvement in Afghanistan's future means Taliban involvement in OUR future.

AP source: Obama focusing on al-Qaida, not Taliban
WASHINGTON (AP) - A senior administration official says President Barack Obama is prepared to accept some Taliban involvement in Afghanistan's political future and is inclined to send only as many more U.S. troops to Afghanistan as are needed to keep al-Qaida at bay.
The assessment comes from an official who has been involved in the president's discussions with his war council about Afghanistan strategy. The official was authorized to speak to The Associated Press about the discussions but not to be identified by name because the talks are ongoing.
Aides say the president's final decision on Afghanistan strategy and troop levels is still at least two weeks away, but the emerging thinking suggests he would be unlikely to favor a large military ramp-up of the kind being advocated by his top commander in Afghanistan.
