The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timesonline.co.uk\/tol\/news\/world\/Afghanistan\/article6866894.ece\">Times Online<\/a> reports that President Obama is contemplating involving the Taliban in rebuilding Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mr Obama appears to have been swayed in recent days by arguments from some advisers, led by Vice-President Joe Biden, that the Taleban do not pose a direct threat to the US and that there should be greater focus on tackling al-Qaeda inside Pakistan. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And, surprise, dicksmith thinks it&#8217;s brilliant;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This makes sense. Often in America, the Taliban is conflated with al Quaeda as if they are the same organization. They aren&#8217;t.  The Taliban were a group of fundamentalist Islamic scholars who took power in the vacuum that ensured following the withdrawal of the Soviets.  Needing money to fund their regime, the Taliban turned to a Saudi-born oil heir named Osama bin Laden and agreed to allow his organization to operate training camps within their borders in exchange for financing. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>See? It&#8217;s not their fault that they became entangled with terrorists. Dicksmith fails to mention that these &#8220;fundamentalist Islamic scholars&#8221; are the guys who now throw acid in the faces of young girls for the unforgivable crime of going to school.<\/p>\n<p>And, oh, has anybody bothered to mention that the Taliban, who the US Left credits for eradicating poppy production and the resulting drug trade in Afghanistan are <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/afp\/20091007\/wl_asia_afp\/afghanistanunrestdrugs_20091007201453\">currently involved in the drug trade<\/a>? <\/p>\n<p>But dicksmith isn&#8217;t done apologizing for the Taliban;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Yes, the Taliban were complicit in attacks on American, but they did not perpetrate them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For six years we got to hear the Left complain that Iraq wasn&#8217;t complicit in world-wide terrorism. Now we get to hear them eliminate yet another group of enemies with their pathetic, intellectually shallow excuses. Besides, <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/nm\/20091007\/wl_nm\/us_afghanistan_taliban_anniversary_2\">the Taliban says<\/a> that they&#8217;re not a threat to us. they&#8217;ve never lied before, right?<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s next? Are they going to tell us that Osama bin Laden didn&#8217;t know about the 9-11 attacks? How could he? He was all the way in Afghanistan. <\/p>\n<p>The fact that welcoming the Taliban into the community of Afghans is a Biden plan should have warned everybody off &#8211; but not dicksmith, bless his tiny black heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yeah, dicksmith is a rocket surgeon.
