Obama Nominee Sees Nothing Wrong With Taliban Oppression
The Taliban created a hell on earth in Afghanistan, a hell that reached across the world to strike America on 9/11. It was a world without freedom, in which political opponents were butchered and women were treated worse than dogs. Yet Glyn Davies, whom Comrade Obama has appointed as US envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency, could find "nothing objectionable" about it. A report from November, 2001 gives a hint as to his attitude toward Islamic extremists:
The day after the Taliban seized Kabul in September 1996, the State Department spokesman, Glyn Davies, encountered tough questions from American reporters.
Victorious in a brutal fight against rival factions, the Taliban claimed power after castrating and killing former President Najibullah and hanging the corpses of him and his brother from a post at the entrance to the presidential palace.
Mr. Davies reported the events matter-of-factly and told reporters the United States saw "nothing objectionable" about the Taliban imposing its strict interpretation of Islamic law.
In his new position, Davies will be responsible for making sure that nuclear weapons don't fall into the hands of the sort of people he can't find anything objectionable about.

Is there anyone in this administration who is NOT a stark-raving, moonbat assclown?
