I know that Reagan supported the Talban----and even back then----in the mid 1980s I knew that the program would COME TO NO GOOD. The white house
had not asked me. Way back in the 1980s that which became the Taliban were
called MUJHAHDEEN----they were and are PAKISTANI ISLAMISTS-----no less
islamist than are the present day Taliban----than Osama bin Laden and al quaeda and ISIS. No matter how "SEEMINGLY" useful by virtue of 'common cause'
it is NEVER good to try to make alliances with islamists or baathists
Get your time line right. The Taliban were a different group formed in the 90's. We armed the Mujahideen. Mainly warlords and their jihadists. Now some no doubt went on to join AQ and the Taliban. The Taliban actually trained in Pakistan.
right------kinda like the boys scouts incorporated the cubscouts-----you are playing
semantics Early on we armed the "TALIBAN" as the former cubscouts were
RENAMED. Later on they lost their GLOW
I'm a stickler for history. No doubt the bottom line is no matter what the name is they are all still jihadists. That article from the Toronto Star is spot on. Buttho herself was a monster.
Bhutto was a VICTIM of islamist filth------not a perpetrator thereof----her
FAULT is that she was not strong enough to RESIST THE STINK
Bhutto died because she sacrificed thousands of her Military to make money off of their blood.
silly lie-----she died the way scores of other Pakistani politicians died-----a bullet in her head
