Obama’s allies the Taliban slaughter more than 130 at a school in Pakistan

Back in 2011, Joe Biden let America know that the Taliban wasn’t our enemy:

Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That’s critical. There is not a single statement that the president has ever made in any of our policy assertions that the Taliban is our enemy because it threatens U.S. interests. If, in fact, the Taliban is able to collapse the existing government, which is cooperating with us in keeping the bad guys from being able to do damage to us, then that becomes a problem for us.

Around the same time Hamid Karzai claimed that Barack Obama said the same thing to him:

Last year, during my visit to Washington, in a very important briefing a day before I met U.S. President [Barack Obama], his national security adviser Tom Donilon, and senior White House officials, generals, and intelligence officials, the national security adviser met with me. He told me: “The Taliban are not our enemies and we don’t want to fight them.”

Our “not-enemies” attacked a school in Peshawar, Pakistan. They killed at least 130 people and committed some heinous acts:

Taliban terrorists allegedly burned a teacher alive and made the students watch during their attack on a Pakistan school which left over 130 people dead.

According to a NBC News report, citing an unnamed military official, the terrorists stormed the Army Public school in Peshawar, in north-west Pakistan, and committed the horrific act as well as detonating a suicide bomb which killed a number of students.

“They burnt a teacher in front of the students in a classroom,” the unnamed military source told the US TV network.

“They literally set the teacher on fire with gasoline and made the kids watch.”

At least six militants entered the Pakistani school wearing security uniforms, before massacring an estimated 132 people and injuring another 122.

Several have been reported to be beheaded.

Despite the Taliban taking credit for the attack, Barack Obama cannot bring himself to mentioning their involvement:

The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms today’s horrific attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar, Pakistan. Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims, their families, and loved ones. By targeting students and teachers in this heinous attack, terrorists have once again shown their depravity. We stand with the people of Pakistan, and reiterate the commitment of the United States to support the Government of Pakistan in its efforts to combat terrorism and extremism and to promote peace and stability in the region.

This regime insists that the Taliban is not the enemy despite evidence to the contrary. Returning vets are the enemy and Americans who disagree with Obama are “enemies” but the Taliban is not? Whisky Tango Foxtrot? It probably doesn’t make much difference, really. Obama doesn’t want any captured prisoners so he doesn’t have to interrogate them. That’s so messy. He just kills them along with their families in drone strikes. Then again, were we to capture any, we’d have to speak politely to them and treat them no worse that we’d treat an Ivy League grad student or risk the ire of Dianne Feinstein and the left.
