Showing your determination to deny that the Mujahdeen is NOW called the Taliban, only diminishes your credibility and integrity.That makes you a moron.Posting it again does not make it any less a lie!Deflection is all you have.
There were no Taliban when reagan was president. They were mujahideen and they were fighting the Soviets, thus they were our allies.
Saddam started the first Iraq war by invading Kuwait. We responded and rolled him back. Bush was set to go to Baghdad but the painty wastes in the Democrat Party told him he didnt have authorization and being a good guy and wanting support across the aisle he stopped the war.
W. Bush inherited Clinton's failed policies towards terrorism, culminating in 9/11. He also inherited Clinton's failed policies towards Iraq, which let Saddam undermine sanctions and fire at our jets. Bush responded appropriately and waged a just war of liberation, which was a rousing success, despite the carping by the same people who had supported the war when it was popular.
Obama has failed in every policy he has pursued. He inherited a stable Iraq, an Egypt on the cusp of Democracy, a Libya ready for democratic government and he fucked it all up by supporting the wrong people and implementing the wrong policies.
This was such a good response Rabbi...I though I would post it again....
The Taliban fought the Soviets as part of the Mujahedeen throughout St Ronnie's Regime.
Taliban militants are Sunni Muslim Pashtuns, and Pashtuns constitute thirteen percent of the total population of Pakistan. Pashtuns dominate the Pakistani military and are concentrated in the North-West Frontier province, which was the command center for the Mujahedeen groups fighting the Soviet troops and a major destination for the Afghan refugees. Following a public condemnation of the Saudi monarchy for allowing U.S. troops to enter and operate in Saudi Arabia, Osama Bin Laden moved to Sudan and eventually, in 1996, to Afghanistan, where he had fought against the Soviet troops and where he was warmly welcomed by the Taliban and its top leader.
The GOP have always loved the Taliban. Here is Reagan front man Rohrabacher, who Reagan used to supply OBL with Stinger missiles, defending the Taliban.

Rogue Statesman
Congressman Dana Rohrabacher’s absolutely crazy, quite possibly illegal back-channel chats with the villains of Sept. 11
by R. Scott Moxley
"[Rohrabacher] says the Taliban are devout traditionalists—not terrorists or revolutionaries. He believes a Taliban takeover [of Afghanistan] would be a positive development."
... "Listen! Hold on!" said Rohrabacher. "I am a bigger expert on Afghanistan than any member of Congress." ...
A November/December 1996 article in Washington Report on Middle East Affairs reported, "The potential rise of power of the Taliban does not alarm Rohrabacher" because the congressman believes the "Taliban could provide stability in an area where chaos was creating a real threat to the U.S." Later in the article, Rohrabacher claimed that:
Taliban leaders are "not terrorists or revolutionaries."
Media reports documenting the Taliban’s harsh, radical beliefs were "nonsense."
The Taliban would develop a "disciplined, moral society" that did not harbor terrorists.
The Taliban posed no threat to the U.S.
Repeating lies does not make them any less lies, edtheliar.
The Taliban didn't exist until the Clinton administration - you are simply lying, as you Khmer Rouge types love to do.
