agubaia, you are slightly confused, USA is the reason the Taliban exsists, they will not be defeated, so long as the US continues its current policies, Taliban will remain.

[AFosterBoy]

This military analyst is totally true....Hats of to you sir

[SpyWizard2]

Taliban not a threat? on the contrary they are a major threat to Central Asia, Caucuses and the Middle East. Soviets are idiots lol

[IAMDOPED]

I'm glad to see that I caused another crackpot to meltdown mentally.

Walid does an excellent job defending the fight against terrorism. Our enemies are united and vigilant and we need to be vigilant against them. The world needs to know the truth, understand that we will be at war and need to have a presence in the Middle East for a long time. We'd love for our troops to come home but in the world today they will never be coming home, they will be fighting in the Middle East or Africa or anywhere else the enemies of freedom and democracy call their home..

lousyskier:

I'm not Jewish and I've never been a Democrat so I clearly am not a "neocon" since I don't meet those two prerequisites.

But you sure are a lunatic fringe crackpot

The 9/11 hijackers were AlQaeda terrorists that trained in Afghanistan and the 9/11 attack was run out of Afghanistan by Bin Laden through Yemen, idiot.

Bin Laden was holed up in Afghanistan, idiot.

Afghanistan refuse to turn Bin Laden over to the US so the US had to go get him, idiot.

[Pokhton]
