U.S. Marines brace for major battle against Taliban force

A joint force of Afghan forces and U.S. Marines exchanged gunfire with Taliban insurgents ahead of what military sources on the ground in Afghanistan are calling the build-up to a major battle near Marjah, Afghanistan.  According to the U.S. military the Taliban is attempting to draw U.S. and Allied forces into a battle before the U.S. is ready to launch a full scale assault on a Taliban strong hold in the Opium producing section of the war torn country.  I mention this story for one particular reason because soft-headed liberals and the criminal in chief of Afghanistan the criminal low-life Karzai are convinced that if we bribe the Taliban with aid money they will suddenly stop trafficking in drugs and committing terrorism.  Laughable at best but the sad thing is President Obama seems to believe that these murderous thugs known as the Taliban are merely acting out of economic desperation which is funny considering they get rich selling dope.  Also of interest money is a secondary motive to these murderers their true calling is their backwards and oppressive intrepretation of Islam.  The Taliban is a product of diseased minds and not economic desperation.  The Taliban should be give two options: (1) surrender or (2) be annihilated.  Until our President learns the lesson that you cannot stop or change evil with hope and money he will continue to stumble and fall.  Evil can only be vanquished with force and the Taliban is truly evil.  Also, no more U.S. aid to the Karzai regime that clown is a thief and a drug dealer.
