The guy on the right is my house rep...

He was elected because he has the exact same name as his father who was very popular.

Both are neocons.

I saw him in person at a debate at my college during the election cycle, he had absolutely nothing intelligent to say and I voted for the independent candidate named Benoit that had adopted a Ron Paul platform.

I met his father Duncan Hunter in SC at the Values group in Columbia when his father was running for President.

Duncan Hunter was a pompus ass. He saw Ron Paul's sticker on my shirt, completely stopped smiling and turned his back on me after I put my hand out to shake his hand (although looking back that isn't a bad thing).

Osama Bin laden's organization was funded by the USA during the Soviet occupation.

Afghanistan
See also: Soviet war in Afghanistan

Afghan mujahideen passing around the Durand Line border in 1985.The best-known mujahideen, various loosely-aligned Afghan opposition groups, initially fought against the incumbent pro-Soviet Afghan government during the late 1970s. At the Afghan government's request, the Soviet Union became involved in the war. The mujahideen insurgency then fought against the Soviet and Afghan government troops during the Soviet war in Afghanistan. After the Soviet Union pulled out of the conflict in the late 1980s the mujahideen fought each other in the subsequent Afghan Civil War.

The mujahideen were significantly financed and armed (and are alleged to have been trained) by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the Carter[5] and Reagan administrations, the government of Saudi Arabia, Zia-ul-Haq's military regime in Pakistan, Iran, the People's Republic of China and several Western European countries. The Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) was the interagent used in the majority of these activities to disguise the sources of support for the resistance. Under Reagan, US support for the mujahideen evolved into an official U.S. foreign policy, known as the Reagan Doctrine, which included U.S. support for anti-Soviet resistance movements in Afghanistan, Angola, Nicaragua and elsewhere.[6]

The main base station of mujahideen in Pakistan was the town Badaber, 24 km from Peshawar. Afghanistan mujahideen were trained in the Badaber base under supervision by military instructors from the USA, Pakistan, and the Republic of China.[citation needed] The base served as the concentration camp for Soviet and DRA captives as well. In 1985, the uprising of captives destroyed the base, but the incident was concealed by Pakistani and Soviet governments until the dissolution of the USSR.

Ronald Reagan praised mujahideen as "freedom fighters", and four mainstream Western films, the 1987 James Bond film The Living Daylights, the 1988 action films Rambo III, The Beast and the 2007 biographical movie Charlie Wilson's War, portrayed them as heroic.


Afghan mujahideen loyal to Yunus Khalis in 1987.Afghanistan's resistance movement was born in chaos and, at first, virtually all of its war was waged locally by regional warlords. As warfare became more sophisticated, outside support and regional coordination grew. Even so, the basic units of mujahideen organization and action continued to reflect the highly segmented nature of Afghan society.[7] Eventually, the seven main mujahideen parties allied themselves into the political bloc called Islamic Unity of Afghanistan Mujahideen.

Many Muslims from other countries volunteered to assist the various mujahideen groups in Afghanistan, and gained significant experience in guerrilla warfare. Some groups of these veterans have been significant factors in more recent conflicts in and around the Muslim world. Osama bin Laden, originally from a wealthy family in Saudi Arabia, was a prominent organizer and financier of an all-Arab islamist group of foreign volunteers; his Maktab al-Khadamat funnelled money, arms, and Muslim fighters from around the Muslim world into Afghanistan, with the assistance and support of the Saudi and Pakistani governments.[8] These foreign fighters became known as "Afghan Arabs" and their efforts were coordinated by Abdullah Yusuf Azzam.

Mujahideen forces found themselves unable to defeat Soviet forces during much of the war, however, the mujahideen won when the Soviet Union pulled troops out of Afghanistan in 1989, when they overtook many of Afghanistans cities from the Federal Government, followed by the fall of the Mohammad Najibullah regime in 1992. However, the mujahideen did not establish a united government, and many of the larger mujahideen groups began to fight each other over the power in Kabul. After several years of devastating infighting, a village mullah organized a new armed movement with the backing of Pakistan. This movement became known as the Taliban, meaning "students of Islam", and referring to the Saudi-backed religious schools known for producing extremism. Veteran mujahideen were confronted by this radical splinter group in 1996.

By 1996, with backing from the Pakistani ISI and Military of Pakistan, as well as al-Qaeda, the Taliban had largely defeated the militias and controlled most of the country. The opposition factions allied themselves together again and became known as the Northern Alliance. Since 2001, with US-NATO intervention, the Taliban were ousted from power and a new Afghan government was formed. Man of the former mujahideen gradually were incorporated into the new Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police.

At present the term "mujahideen" is sometimes used to describe insurgents groups (including Taliban and al-Qaeda) who are fighting NATO troops and the Military of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The Afghan mujahideen also participated in the Nagorno-Karabakh War and the Tajik Civil War.


This crap goes back to 1979 with the Carter years.

Where are the anti-war protest!

This neocon schill is exactly why the GOP should die. They have not and will not change. It's like listening to Guilliani scream terrorist every five seconds. Both parties have blood on thier hands and the people need to know we helped fund and train Osama during the Soviet occupation. btw the Soviets were invited by the Taliban to help them with thier civil unrest against the insurgents. Funny thing is now we are funding Pakistan which has been helping the Taliban as we send our sons and daughters into the meatgrinder. We are our own worst enemy.

Just came across this in regard to Hunter...

"Top donor to Duncan D. Hunter, another Republican congressman, who is in his first term after succeeding his father, was defense contractor General Dynamics with $7500; SAIC checked in with $6250; and Honeywell International, also big in military business, gave $5500."

His father wasn't a bad congressman despite his perverse foreign policy views.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Duncan_Hunter

Definitely not someone who I would classify as neo-con. He supported a balanced budget amendment in 1994 and also voted against social security numerous times. When I think of Neocon , I think of David Brooks or Frum who swallow the New Deal and it's unconsitutional extensions as gospel.

I think that is fabulous... in-fact... he looks as though he is within the confines of age to serve the country; so when is he shipping out? Certainly he has enlisted... give us an update on when he is deploying to Afghanistan... I would be very interested to see him off.

I'm fairly certain he already served in Iraq. IIRC his dad brought it up in the debates.

I have no doubt he will continue to push for big govt spending on military projects that defence contractors want but that our military doesn't actually want, just like his dad.

there goes that illogical "islamo-fascist" term again.

last time i checked, fascism meant "sometimes initial capital letter) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.".

to put it short=fascism equals socialist racism.

iirc, islamic terrorism transcends race.
