Intelligent, But. . .

. . . clearly lacking in any common sense whatosever:

KABUL (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's proposal to reach out to moderate Taliban will fail to end the Afghan insurgency as it is inflexible Taliban leaders who are orchestrating the war, not moderates, analysts said.

It is clear Mr Obama is not unintelligent; he knew how and when to pull a sufficient amount of puppet strings to acquire the presidency, along with a legion of oh-so-willing dupes in host with the Mainstream Media. He has surrounded himself with like-thinking sycophants, trembling toadies and sniveling jackanapes.

Where Mr Obama becomes the dullard is when he cleaves common sense distinctly away from the intelligence pile.

One may find a "moderate Taliban" where one would customarily locate a "giant shrimp." I could go on but that would be tedious.

Even Turner's CNN commentators think this is an idea with an unpleasant destiny.

A brief refresher on "Who Are The Taliban 101":

• They immediately forbade, upon takeover, women from attending any schools;
• Instituted strict Sharia law;
• Women could not work outside the home (violators would be beaten or shot);

Ralph Peters, columnist for the New York Post, rightly compares the Taliban to alien life forms.

And this but an upbeat sampling of their simple pleasures.

This is the president for which you, America, voted.
