Hillary Clinton speaks out about US links with Taliban

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says that US created Taliban and abandoned Pakistan. Hillary Clinton acknowledged that the United States too had a share in creating the problem that plagues Pakistan today.
problems we face now to some extent we have to take responsibility for, having contributed to it. We also have a history of kind of moving in and out of Pakistan, she said.

Lets remember here the people we are fighting today we funded them twenty years ago and we did it because we were locked in a struggle with the Soviet Union.

They invaded Afghanistan and we did not want to see them control Central Asia and we went to work and it was President Reagan in partnership with Congress led by Democrats who said you know what it sounds like a pretty good idea lets deal with the ISI and the Pakistan military and lets go recruit these mujahideen.

And great, let them come from Saudi Arabia and other countries, importing their Wahabi brand of Islam so that we can go beat the Soviet Union.

And guess what they (Soviets) retreated they lost billions of dollars and it led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

So there is a very strong argument which is it wasnt a bad investment in terms of Soviet Union but lets be careful with what we sow because we will harvest

All Yanks? I'm a yank and I hardly believe terrorists did 9/11. Don't let hate breed more hate, there are many of us that know very well what is going on, but we are given as much media time as the next skeptic~

[drsager]

100 percent truth finally came out.

[MrBigboss20011]

always Americans understand the issues lately ,what a bunch of cowboys

[theusmi123]

IF YOUR INTENTION WAS TO GET AFGHANISTAN OUT OF SOVIET INVASION THEN WHY AMERICA FUNDED AGAIN TALIBAN TO TAKE MUJJAHIDDIN OUT OF THEIR SOIL (AFGHANISTAN).

@John21jo Can't tell if serious.

[aseticelite]

@ovahidi I hope it was that , and not just for the resources

[SonoranRosie]

@John21jo Seriously? I hope that was tongue-in-cheek. If not, you are so far gone, I don't even know what to say. Stunt double? Secy. Clinton was testifying to a Congressional Committee in that clip. It was nationally televised. America has been funding what now may be considered "terrorist" groups for decades. They were our friends, then not our friends. Such are the winds of politics. Manuel Noriega? Sadam Hussein? Shah of Iran? You are the worst kind of knee-jerk reactionary - a stupid one.

[utkh95]

when and where did she say that. i need some quotes for school.

[John21jo]

that's a lie. America does not negotiate with terrorist groups nor do we fund them. I think it is repulsive to try to associate the United States of America with such a foolish thing. Good work with the stunt double, nice work. I've had enough of the bull poop.

I think HIllary would have been so much a better President than Obama. I am independent and liked her more than Bill when he was president.
