BIDEN IS GOING TO SAY THIS BECAUSE OBAMA IS BRAIN WASHING TO CONVERT OVER TO ISLAMIC,,MUSLIM RELIGION

[pragmatic0318]

Let's try on their shoes. Say some Neo-Nazi blows up a building of people somewhere and American skinheads hide him. That country then sets up shop here and our civilians get mistakenly killed during battles that subsequently ensue. There would be an endless stream of folks singing up with the skinheads either because their loved ones got killed or they were sick of that country being here; not their beliefs. That's exactly how the Taliban recruits more and more people to fight.

[pragmatic0318]

Not to hard to understand. The Taliban is not per se our enemy, but those whose hates takes them to the point that they launch attacks on our soil. Bin Laden and Al Queda were behind those attacks and have been all but wiped out. The longer we stay, the more civilians get caught in our crossfire when attacking insurgents; thus 10 more kids to replace every combatant killed. Killing every Taliban member would be an endless cycle.

@MrGilles1990 The IRA hasnt been seriously active in years. A total non-point at this time. As for de-funding them, that brings one back to the oil problem. We're not going to be running on fusion any time soon, so there will continue to be a large, well oiled Saudi and Iranian funding machine to keep the terrorists armed and going for quite some time. That doesnt even touch on all the political Islamic groups that pose a much greater threat than Al Qaeda.

@mysock351W Don't fund any foreign nation, end foreign aid then. Ban aid to violent organisations, that would suit me fine since it would seriously hinder the IRA which is using American money to blow up Britons.

[mysock351W]

@MrGilles1990 But that brings up the catch22 of the fact that the money goes to funding terror and other Islamic supremacist activity. Its the same problem we have with Saudi-Arabia. They use the money to print extremist material, fund mosque building, terrorism, etc. Maybe an "oil for food" deal, but any sort of legitimate business with them that generates wealth on their end opens up the Islamist can of worms.

ASSHOLE THAT WAS AL QIDAA NOT THE TALIBAN....

[MrGilles1990]

@mysock351W trade with them but don't invade them, it's quite easy the Swiss have been doing it for centuries.

[mysock351W]

@MrGilles1990 The only chance we'd have of making it happen is to totally cut off the entire middle-east and essentially do no business with it. But, with the islamization of Europe, the window for that has long since passed. That, and good luck making everyone else not do business there. China, Russia, and Europe still have a hearty appetite for oil, as do we. As such, theyre going to be well funded for quite some time to come.

[mysock351W]

@MrGilles1990 And as for them winning, really its us deciding to walk away and allow the middle-east to descend into hell. It only happened because we let it happen, and they wont just go poof and disappear any time soon. Whos going to make them fall? The magical non-existent secular forces? Lot of good they did in Egypt. They essentially threw in the towel on TV after the Islamists took over the revolt. Just like in Iran, they paved the way for Islam to assert itself.
