In reply to the discussion: 2 children beheaded by militants, Afghan authorities say [View all]red dog 1
(33,195 posts)The horrific beheadings of the 2 young boys was done by the Taliban.
The Bush family has ties with the Taliban going back to George H.W. Bush, and his desire to make millions off the proposed oil pipeline through Afghanistan.
In 2001, just a few months before 9/11, George W. Bush invited Taliban Minister Rahmat Ullah Hashimi to come to the United States and tour the country "to improve the image of the Taliban"
These are facts.
There are more facts that prove George W. Bush failed to act quickly after 9/11 in going after Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, who were supported by the Taliban.
In fact, Bush waited 2 whole months before ordering troops to Afghanistan to hunt down Bin Laden.
He gave Bin Laden a 2 month "head start"...This is a fact.
He sent only 11,000 troops into Afghanistan..This too is a fact.
Despite all this, Coalition forces still somehow cornered Bin Laden at Tora Bora, with his entire senior staff.
They were completely surrounded by Coalition troops.
Bin Laden and his senior staff could have been captured at Tora Bora, but Bush decided to order the forces to fall back and go to Iraq instead; and Bin Laden & Al Qaeda got away.
Al Qaeda, Bin Laden, and all the Taliban that harbored him could have been removed from Afghanistan; but Bush chose instead to let them all go.
Were it not for the Bush Administration's failure to take out the Taliban and Al Qaeda,
there would be no Taliban still in Afghanistan; and those children would not have been beheaded.
From your post # 30
"Blaming the bush's (sic) for the way these animals interpret Islamic law is just plain stupid.
You're pretending it's only the Taliban that practices Islamic fundamentalism and taking me for a bush supporter simply makes you look like a fool."
"You're pretending it's only the Taliban that practices Islamic fundamentalism"???
Where did I say that?
Which post was that?
I will not stoop to your level of name calling.
In fact, I am through trying to reason with you.
I have nothing further to say to you because I believe the adage:
"Never argue with a fool..onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."
