What a beautiful day? Let's see.... North Korea testing missiles, Iran testing missiles, China taunting our Navy and Obama claiming he wants to negotiate with "Moderate" Taliban members?

In an interview published in the "The New York Times," Obama said flatly that the United States was not winning the war in Afghanistan, and was ready to adapt tactics it had learned in Iraq to the Afghan war effort. (Oh my didn't the dems go on and on and on and on about how we weren't successful in Iraq and we haven't won the war in Iraq?)

"Yesterday, the American President Obama accepted and approved the path of peace and talks with those Afghan Taliban who he called 'moderates,'" Afghan President Karzai said. "This is good news. This is an approval of our previous stance and we accept and praise it."

Karzai thinks this is a good thing, however others don't agree with him, and there is a lot of debate whether this approach will even work in Afghanistan. Others, such as Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef, a former Taliban cabinet member and diplomat who last year participated in an informal Saudi-sponsored effort to initiate dialogue with the Taliban, say the United States had no choice but to adopt this strategy.

"First Obama has admitted that the Americans cannot win in Afghanistan and that war is not the solution," Zaeef said. "So if they cannot win, what should they do? Automatically they have to look for an alternative, which is that they have to resolve this conflict though negotiations based on mutual respect."

Do terrorist talk? Is American becoming weak? Do we admit out loud to our foes... we can not defeat you? Do we believe that we can negotiate with terrorists and they will hold up their side of the bargain?

The Taliban are militant Islam...
