US turns to the Taliban (Again)

Didn't we learn the first time? And what about the hypocrisy!?

http://www.informationclearinghouse...article3778.htm

06/13/03:: (Asia Times) KARACHI - Such is the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan, compounded by the return to the country of a large number of former Afghan communist refugees, that United States and Pakistani intelligence officials have met with Taliban leaders in an effort to devise a political solution to prevent the country from being further ripped apart.

...

At present, Kabul is divided into two main factions. The first is pro-US, which is represented by the US and allied troops and those loyal to President Hamid Karzai. The second is pro-Russian and pro-Iranian, represented by Defense Minister General Qasim Fahim and his Northern Alliance forces. Although the camps are cooperating at present, they are silently building their support bases to make a grab for full power once the present interim administration runs its course, a process that is due to begin in October with a loya jirga (grand council).

In this respect, every returned or returning former "communist comrade" is important, for should the Northern Alliance faction develop sufficient critical mass, it would come as no surprise if its leaders openly forged an alliance with the resistance movement.

This is why the U.S. should have finished with Afghanistan before going into Iraq.

Exactly, it's as if Bush thinks he can do anything he wants. I can imagine it:

Bush: Hey Dick, let's go attack Iran.

Cheney: Uh, shouldn't we be helping the Iraqis stabilize a government?

Bush: Screw them, let them fend for themselves. We gotta find those weapons.

Oh believe me, he has been. If God hadn't been helping us, we'd be in a MUCH worse situation than we're in now.. it's hard to think of one, but shit happens.

But ironically, Bush claims God is on his side, blah blah blah. So is he trying to say then that God doesn't love Muslims?
