Stupid is as stupid does

President Obama's war council met yesterday to discuss the War in Afghanistan.

Check this out, exact quote from the story:

Members of the president's national security team argued that the Taliban in Afghanistan do not pose a direct threat to the U.S., officials told The New York Times.

This is quite possibly the most absurd and ignorant thing I think I've ever read. Frankly, it's scary.

Let's put this in perspective, the members of the NATIONAL SECURITY TEAM are arguing that the Taliban in Afghanistan do not pose a direct threat to the US. This is the team that has reponsibilities for protecting your family and mine. The team that advises our president on issues of security, safety and defense.

I wonder how the families of thousands of people killed on AMERICAN soil on 9/11 feel about that.

I guess these morons advising President Obama have forgotten it was the TALIBAN, in AFGHANISTAN, that provided safe refuge for Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda as they planned the 9/11 attacks.

How'd that work for us?

I would consider the Taliban a pretty direct threat to our national security. I'm pretty shocked that these folks do not.

Shameful and scary.
