Limbaugh: "We have to increase the effort in Afghanistan."

[max]

War hero Limbaugh backing Obama's Afghan escalation.....He's hoping that Obama wont cave in to "leftists" who want to pull out of Afghan.

The left-right false fight reveals itself again....

[catdd]

It's like a paid advertisement by the International Bankers.
Limbaugh has no moral values whatsoever.

[iddo]

It's like a paid advertisement by AIPAC.

What's AIPAC has to do with Afghanistan?

[Stary Hickory]

We are nation building there now. We need to pull out let the vermin stick their necks out of their holes then in secret nab them. I am all about getting those responsible for 9/11 but god it seems we kill everyone except those responsible for 9/11.

Maybe full scare war was not the very bestest option?

What's AIPAC have to do with Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine or Iran?
The Taliban under BinLaden declared jihad against Israel in 07 (or so they say)

If that's what you think then you know very little about the Taliban, maybe you meant al-Qaeda.
Plus see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jund_Ansar_Allah

No. I meant the Taliban under Bin Laden in 07. It's probably a hoax but someone obviously believes they are a threat to Israel.

Why do you keep saying "the Taliban under Bin Laden"? The Taliban is not under Bin Laden, nor does this nydailynews link says that.

BinLaden was always in charge of the Taliban. Afghanistan was his home.

When one thinks of BinLaden you also think of the Taliban. The two names are synonymous. Why do you want to just keep arguing for?
What is your stake in this?

Who told you that?

I'm done with you, ok?

I actually wrote down that it was a paid advertisement by the international bankers, but then erased it and put in AIPAC. I wish I'd left it alone now.

As a matter of fact, I went back and edited it. You win.

[puppetmaster]

fox has a poll on this topic. They just reported a 50-50 dead heat on TV. I went out and voted immediately and the results....not even close to what they reported...
74% pro and 10% against.....
I am sure it has been "fixed" ;)

Then he should get a gun, go over there, and get killed himself.

The Taliban =/= Al Queda.

Al Queda has a decentralized cell structure. It is international in nature, mobilizing recruits with opposition to Israel and Western imperialism. These are largely where the foreign fighters come from in any conflict, as their origin varies. It is officially headed by Osama bin Laden, but he may be dead at this point.

The Taliban is more of a regional movement. It is headed by Mullah Omar, but it has its own factions within it and doesn't have a formal power structure. Mullah Omar interestingly had not really been directly fighting us, but we started dropping bombs on him a few months back in Pakistan turning away the moderates from any possible cooperation. The Taliban is active in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is closely tied to the Pashtun people.

Not all Pashtuns are necessarily Taliban. And the Taliban itself is a massive (and growing) coalition of regional powers who tend to be more fundamentalist. They have grown in power as we bomb more groups, and thus former rivals are working together against us.

In Pakistan Baitullah Mehsud had strung together the alliance of the Taliban again. He may or may not be dead now, but the alliance isn't just going to break.

No, Faux News state Taliban = Osama...what the hell is wrong with you. Why else would we be killing all these Afghans.

Osama or no Osama, Israel still considers the Taliban's growth in Pakistan to be more of a threat than Iran. http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/south-asia/pakistan-biggest-threat-to-israel-israeli-fm_100183408.html That's why I mentioned AIPAC could be lobbing for that war.

I'm sure Rush will be enlisting soon to go fight.

And besides Bin Laden been dead since 2001.

I think so too, but they continue to get mileage without proof.

But you can see how the propaganda machine is revving up on the Taliban.

WASHINGTON - The US has said on Wednesday that the Taliban are threat to the peace of world and it is not an easy task to get better of them.

During a daily press briefing, the spokesman of US State Department, Robert Wood, said that the Taliban is threat to the peace of world.

He said that the Taliban is not an easy enemy to defeat as US itself has been fighting against them for last seven years, The News reported.

Wood urged countries of the world for cooperation to end terrorism, win war against Taliban and for establishment of peace and harmony in the world.

We certainly can't risk letting them disrupt the global heroin trade again...people might get restless.

I've got news for Robert Wood.

Officeholders in the United States government are ALSO a threat to the peace of the world and it is not an easy task to get the better of them, EITHER.

[ScoutsHonor]

Imo, the Taliban is a fake enemy, just as Al-Quaeda (sp?) is. They are designer-enemies created to lure our attention away from our true enemy, our own tyrannical government. FWIW, AJ says this also and we know AJ tells us the truth a great deal of the time.

And yet President Obama is wondering if we should even be in Afghanistan at all. (http://redstateeclectic.typepad.com/redstate_commentary/2009/09/obama-pondering-how-necessary-is-his-war-of-necessity.html)

Yeah, he's probably more inclined to think we should be in Pakistan.
I think they want us to believe AlQaeda has been pretty much taken care of but now we have to go for the second half of the "threat".
Menendez said that it was Bush's fault for taking his eyes off the ball and allowing the Taliban to regroup to pre 9/11 strength, but he is not going to denounce the invasion of Iraq.
