hearing that news fills me with a small sense of accomplishment.

don’t let Sheriff Joe git ya, old loonie…. and shoot the bastert if’n he does.

hettie the hediondo’s rotting hologram is still stinking the place out.

I think I will avoid this site for a couple of days till the stench dies down.

It will be like the fall of Saigon once the combat troops leave, those people have grown to hate us over there and have asked us to leave repeatedly.

The Taliban are not recognized as a military unit who would fall under the purview of the Geneva conventions as they should, just ask those in Gitmo.  They are tribal militia.

Our guys have to abide by the UCMJ.

our combat troops will be leaving, but we’ll be staying for a while…....

this is a very bad incident, and very much overblown, of course. 

the Taliban has no cassus belli, but they can certainly exploit this…..for the
Taliban rape is rarely a crime….they have very definitions of rape

I wouldn’t be sure of the US remaining in Afghanistan now since the massacre.

We have given the Taliban an moral cassus belli against us and our ouster from their country if they didn’t have one already.

The truth is coming out that Afghan women were raped prior to being killed by several soldiers and not just one.

It only takes one crimminal action to turn an already unpopular military fiasco into an incredibly unpopular one. 

We are there.

We wont be leaving for a while….so that minute is coming soon…

might be nice if Karzai was toasted prior to our departure, but that’s not likely
either.

The minute the US leaves, Karzai is toast.

The Taliban are nothing more than the republican party of Afghanistan and while we do not like them (like Hamas or Hezbollah} they do represent those people in a region which we have no business being in as agressors.

Let the corporate interests fight their own wars with their own assets.

Well the soon to be disappeared Hettie (hoist on its own petard) has given me the laugh of the day, as he begs for objectivity while pimping for patriotism and whites-uber-alles.

I think it’s just about time for a New York cut.

Bring on that massive coronary so I can leave the toxic waste dump that whites have turned the earth into.

lisa——that’s an interesting analysis——but far from an objective one.

oh dark bird of carrion breath
some shriveled soul is surely thine

Felicity asked:

“Does anyone ever consider the plight of the Afghani
people?”

Not in the US they don’t, because they don’t consider Afghanis to be white.

Only whites have souls, and “count”—according to the gringo recycled leyes de las indias.

FRT——not the legitimacy, but the factual existence,,,,,,, we’re not negotiating
with the Taliban because we admit that they have some kind of legitimacy, my
friend. we’re talking to them because they’re a reality.

just as Karzai & Co. are a reality.

there is no legitimate group in Afghanistan. there wasn’t before we got there and
there won’t be whenever the hell we leave…..all there are is a bunch of ugly
realities.

Putting myself, in this country, in the position of an
Afghani, how would my life be.  Occupied by a foreign
power (because someone it didn’t like happened to be
living in my country) - living under the rule of a
thoroughly corrupt toady of the occupying country - in
constant fear of a rogue gang of thugs (the Taliban in
Afghanistan) daily threatened with death if I spoke out
against them…

Does anyone ever consider the plight of the Afghani
people?

The US position:

Before we will allow you to engage in the fiction of “peace talks” or “negotiation” with those who have invaded and are murdering your countrymen, you must first acknowledge the fiction of the legitimacy of the puppet government they installed and support.
