Vote Vets: Sure let’s bring back the Taliban
Yeah, dicksmith is a rocket surgeon. The Times Online reports that President Obama is contemplating involving the Taliban in rebuilding Afghanistan.
Mr Obama appears to have been swayed in recent days by arguments from some advisers, led by Vice-President Joe Biden, that the Taleban do not pose a direct threat to the US and that there should be greater focus on tackling al-Qaeda inside Pakistan.
And, surprise, dicksmith thinks it’s brilliant;
This makes sense. Often in America, the Taliban is conflated with al Quaeda as if they are the same organization. They aren’t. The Taliban were a group of fundamentalist Islamic scholars who took power in the vacuum that ensured following the withdrawal of the Soviets. Needing money to fund their regime, the Taliban turned to a Saudi-born oil heir named Osama bin Laden and agreed to allow his organization to operate training camps within their borders in exchange for financing.
See? It’s not their fault that they became entangled with terrorists. Dicksmith fails to mention that these “fundamentalist Islamic scholars” are the guys who now throw acid in the faces of young girls for the unforgivable crime of going to school.
And, oh, has anybody bothered to mention that the Taliban, who the US Left credits for eradicating poppy production and the resulting drug trade in Afghanistan are currently involved in the drug trade?
But dicksmith isn’t done apologizing for the Taliban;
Yes, the Taliban were complicit in attacks on American, but they did not perpetrate them.
For six years we got to hear the Left complain that Iraq wasn’t complicit in world-wide terrorism. Now we get to hear them eliminate yet another group of enemies with their pathetic, intellectually shallow excuses. Besides, the Taliban says that they’re not a threat to us. they’ve never lied before, right?
What’s next? Are they going to tell us that Osama bin Laden didn’t know about the 9-11 attacks? How could he? He was all the way in Afghanistan.
The fact that welcoming the Taliban into the community of Afghans is a Biden plan should have warned everybody off – but not dicksmith, bless his tiny black heart.

All brought to you by the “Obama Apology Tour”….
Apologizing to terrorists, dictators, and nut jobs around the world since January 2009!
Um, if we’re letting them back in, wtf did we go to war for?
Yeah .. Fkn Vote Vets is a joke. They are sending out blast emails to their membership to ride a tour bus through the midwest on the Vote Vets “clean energy tour.” It ends with a Harry Reid town hall in Nevada. They’ll support the war if the Dems back it. Too bad Soltz won’t fight in it.

Was it not Taliban (+Nuristan tribal militia + a few AQI) that overran COP Keating? Wanat 13 months before, 20 miles away, also to Taliban forces?
They were throwing acid on educated women and ripping down cultural landmarks when I was in grade school.
Fuck.
“are the guys who now throw acid in the faces of young girls for the unforgivable crime of going to school.”
Yeah, and instead of grabbing their guns and going 1776 on the Taliban, the populace simply sits on it’s hands about this. Speaks volumes about them as a people and how we ought to operate in that region. Perhaps staying there for decades in an attempt to make Jeffersonians out of them is a bit far fetched?
“Yes, the Taliban were complicit in attacks on American, but they did not perpetrate them.”
The U.S. Prisons have plenty of people in there that did “nothing” more than, “Conspiracy to commit..” and “Aiding after the fact”
“You are either for us or against us.” I think we know where Obama and Vote Vets fall.
