That’s An Easy One

Allahpundit asks:

If the Taliban’s serious about detente, why don’t they give us Bin Laden?

Or rather, if Obama’s serious about detente, why doesn’t he demand that they do so as one of those “constructive beginnings” with Islamist fascists that he’s been pursuing?

Because then Obama would be Bush.

(Incidentally, how badly is Obama blowing it right now in Afghanistan? So badly that Dianne Feinstein is reminding him to listen to his generals’ advice.)

    I think it’s because actually demanding something for “detente” would blow the plan for unconditional surrender out of the water.

    Ahh…, there you go again allahpundit, those “constructive beginnings” you talk about would tantamount to “preexisting preconditions”, and we can’t have any of that. Nuh uh. Nice try.
