| The Biggest Mistake The
World Will Ever Make Dealing with these subhuman
cavemen would be the biggest mistake that the world will ever
make. In all honesty if it wasn't for an untimely invasion
into Iraq for what appeared to be an easy in and out for the Bush
administration to gain revenues for the big oil companies of
America ( it backfired and China and others got the best oil
contracts not America) that turned into a nightmare for American
military families. If it wasn't for the bad decision based
on lies we wouldn't be in a posture, dare I say, of waving
the the white flag of surrender in Afghanistan and Pakistan today.
Resources would have been diverted to where the bad guys really
are in Afghanistan and Pakistan. America had a rightful
mandate in 2001 and we were lied to. The entire world was willing
to go into Afghanistan with us and get the terrorists that did
this to their American friends. We went in and then we left
for Iraq without even getting an autograph from Osama and other
top Al Qaeda members. DO not feel bad, I bought it
hook line and sinker. If you are going to feel bad, feel bad
for the bravest soldiers to ever wear an American uniform.
They live in the open waiting to draw fire from the enemy.
They obeyed their commander and chief that led them away from
Afghanistan and into Iraq. They were bogged down and
thousands of our best were lost in the name of the "War on
Terrorism" even though the ones responsible for the tragedy were
no where near Iraq. If America can not afford to fail in
Iraq how can we afford to fail in Afghanistan. If we deal
with the Taliban after years of tough talk about never negotiating
with terrorists or Iran or anyone else that the Bush
administration chose not to speak to why would it now be wise to
cut deals with the very people that brought down the World Trade
Centers and killed over three thousand Americans in a single
day. Are the Taliban not the terrorists? They said
they can never turn over what they consider one of their own
cultural heroes Osama bin Laden to America.
I can not emphasize enough that this strategy makes no sense to
me it is the biggest surrender in the history of our America.
For years we have been subjected to bipartisan politics as to
continuing the fight and that "this is not a war we can afford to
lose and now to hear the American Secretary of Defense say that
maybe it is time to bring in regiments of the Taliban that may
work with the Afghanistan government the way that the groups in
Iraq were brought together. There is a big difference here.
In Iraq, we were dealing with sectarian violence. In
Afghanistan we are fighting an ideology. The difference is
night and day. If he does not grasp this notion
he needs to resign.
It is tough. The right thing to do is to win the war on
terror. That is what American soldiers lost their lives for.
The war that America can not afford to lose is the war in
Afghanistan. I agree that once we were in Iraq we were in.
Right or wrong. Lies or truth. Who am I kidding we all
have to agree that the reasons for letting Osama off the hook
and running to the oil fields of Iraq were based on lies.
Regardless we were in and we had an obligation to honor our fallen
by winning in Iraq. In the world picture the war that we can
not lose is and always was in Afghanistan. This war will not
be over until we have bin Laden and company either dead or
temporarily alive. We should never deal with them until they
provide us the Al Qaeda leaders at the top. That means Osama
bin Laden, Ayman al Zawarhi as well as the rest of the terrorists
that planned, plotted and carried out one of the darkest days in
American history. We should not rest until they are all
executed as well as Taliban leader Muhammad Omar who refused
to cooperate with America after 911. He provided them with
the safe haven to carry out the attacks on America, so he is
equally responsible. We can not disrespect the lives that
have been lost in the name of the "War on Terror" by saying we
can't afford to lose in Iraq but we can afford to lose in
Afghanistan. If the Taliban rules Afghanistan again,
which they will with this type of thinking, there will be much
more terrorism against America in the future. In all reality
if we start cutting deals with the Taliban we shouldn't have done
anything at all in the first place. That would be
unimaginable to this American.
Just
in Case we Forgot who the Taliban Are?
Maulawi Mohammed Hanif, Taliban Commander Announcing
their policy to a crowd of 300
people summoned to a mosque [after killing15,000 Hazaras people in
a day] " Hazaras are not Muslim. You can kill them. It is
not a sin." Mullah Manon Niazi
" We do not need women to work. What positive roles can they
play in the society? What is the impact of their roles? We do not
need women. They should stay in their houses. Mullah Manon
Niazi. Taliban leader and appointed Governor of Mazar-e Sharif
" Some people believe in these statues and pray to them ... If
people say these are not our beliefs but only part of the history
of Afghanistan, then all we are breaking are stones."
Mullah Muhammad Omar Taliban Supreme Leader on the destruction of
2000 year old Buddhist statues.
"The use of opium is wrong, but the selling is not wrong
according to Islamic law" Mullah Omar - the Taliban Supreme Leader
Never has any group been more controversial then the Taliban of
Afghanistan. Patrolling the streets in the pickup trucks, the
Taliban members, under the General Department for the Preservation
of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Amr-bil Maroof Wa Nahi Anil
Munkar), search houses and destroy any television sets, radios,
cassettes, and photographs. The bands of Taliban thugs roam the
streets beating those they deem to be violators of the Shariah
(Islamic code of Law) [2]. The Taliban's harsh fundamentalist rule
has dismantled all civil institutions, and closed all women
Institutions. Their leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, cloaks himself
in secrecy, refusing to grant interviews or allow his photo to be
taken.
During its 1996-2001 rule, Afghan women and girls were barred from
attending school or holding jobs, music and television were
banned, men were compelled to wear beards, and artwork or statues
deemed idolatrous or anti-Muslim were destroyed.
Public hangings were a regular event in stadiums. Stoning
to death of any female that was "believed" to be acting non-Muslim
in the Taliban's eyes.
Come on, These are the bad guys. Lets finish what they
started. We lose here we lose the entire war on terror.
The War in Afghanistan is the most important battlefield always
was and always will be until someone in the War on Terror wins.
If we let the Taliban back in they will within five years rule not
only Afghanistan but Nuclear Armed Pakistan. I don't think
we will be worrying so much about Iran if this happens.
