Daily News @ http://RevolutionNews.US — In many ways, we follow a schizophrenic type of foreign policy because, one time, they are our best friends, then later on they become our worst enemies. This was true with Saddam Hussein. In the 1980s, he was our friend. We took care of him. We encouraged him and supported his war. Then of course that changed. Even right before 9/11, the Taliban were still receiving money from us, and now they receive money from us indirectly. The Taliban gets money from the Pakistanis, or at least information as has been reported, but they literally get some of our money in the process because, in order for us to move equipment through Afghanistan, they literally end up getting American dollars from doing this.

So here we are going into Pakistan. One of the arguments to go into Pakistan is that we have to go after the Taliban--that they are over there, that they are organizing and that they want to kill the American soldiers in Afghanistan. This means that now they are our archenemies. Yet the Taliban, especially in the 1980s, weren't called the Taliban; they were called the Mujahedeen. It was a precursor, but they were our best friends along with Osama bin Laden. We were allies with them because we supported the principle that it was wrong for the Soviets to be occupying Afghanistan.

Now the tables have turned. Now we are the occupiers. Now the very people who used to help us are shooting and killing us. It has been revealed just recently with this release of information that they actually have some Stinger missiles, and as of the last month or so, three of our helicopters have been shot down.

[Time: 17:00] So where does this all end? One thing about the reports in the newspaper, I think if they changed the definition or the use of one term, I think it would change everybody's attitude, if people came around to believing that the Taliban are people who aren't dedicated toward coming over here to kill us, like some of the al Qaeda are, but the Taliban are only interested in getting rid of the occupiers of their country.

So we call them militant. So we go in, and we raid and shoot and kill and bomb, and then we say, aha, we killed 37 militants today.

What if we reported this always like we did in the eighties.

  • @PaulElliott0560 We are in Afghanistan to ensure the control of the pipeline to the Caspian Sea for Big Oil and to protect Big Pharma's interests in their Poppy/Opium fields.

    "Nuclear weapons" is the Corporate lie/scare for fools to buy into.

    We have new Alternative Energy ( in Italy right now, a leading industrialist is mass-producing Free energy cold fusion home based units) Also, in Alaska alone we 2 Trillion Barrels of Oil.

    The money powers are scared they'll lose their cash cow.

  • Ron Paul speaks the truth, look at what happened with Gaddafi.

    Obama was shaking hands with him one year and then launching a bombing campaign on him the following year.

  • @orrerystar great news

  • I would never be a friend to the evil lawless out of control Federal Mafia!

  • @GigHarborRay You know, for a "lying scumbag whore politician," he sure as hell has an impeccable voting record which is consistent with what he says.....

  • @PaulElliott0560 Listen i am not from america but if there so many people hating on you it is because of people like you that are fucking stupid as fuck.

  • Hey! There goes Dennis Kucinich! YO! DENNIS KUCINICH!
