President Obama Signs Executive Order Outlawing The Taliban
[url=http://www.duffelblog.com/2013/04/president-obama-signs-executive-order-outlawing-the-taliban/]Full article.[/url]
[quote]WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following on the heels of the establishment of Afghanistan as a gun-free zone, President Barack Obama has taken a bold step in ending the War on Terror by signing an executive order outlawing the Taliban.
“It’s a simple and straightforward approach that’ll solve the insurgency problem overnight,” said White House spokesman Jay Carney. “Frankly, it’s so profoundly obvious that we’re surprised the previous administration didn’t think of it.”
The order makes it illegal to belong to the Taliban, or to other insurgent groups, such as the Haqqani and the Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin terrorist networks, which have partnered with the Taliban in the past. There are stiff penalties attached: Taliban fighters have thirty days to turn themselves in and serve five days’ incarceration, or be fined 50,000 Afghanis (about $10 USD), and must also register as a terror offender.[/quote]
Do you think that maybe this is a waste of Obamas power, or a great idea? I certainly hope we start seeing Taliban turning themselve in.

Edited by Bistromathics: 4/11/2013 2:03:14 AMHonestly, I think the worst thing about the Bush administration is that they didn't do this. Definitely going to be a stain on his legacy. I'm glad Obama was able to get this done so we can move on from terrorism.
