Is Obama preparing a US Afghanistan surrender?

 Powerline  raises this provocative question and reveals that this  is what expert Andrew McCarthy thinks is happening. Apparently  the  Muslim Brotherhood's  Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi  -- a man dedicated to  world domination  by Islam--  has been recruited by the US  to mediate secret negotiations with the Taliban. Details here.  
 Imagine  what US combatants holed up in some freezing bunker in Afghanistan, must feel, enduring daily terror, the  death  and crippling of their comrades, knowing that all the sacrifice could  soon be thrown away just so that a politician can claim to have ended two wars and boost his chances for re-election.  Despicable. Obama  has no moral right to ask this of brave men. It's like Churchill  and FDR  invading Nazi-occupied Europe while simultaneously negotiating with Hitler for a withdrawal  of Allied troops.
