What exactly IS the policy in Afghanistan?

Could you explain it in your own words?

Well today I think it's still training the Afghans to take care of the Afghans. Getting their police for and military in a position where they can take care of themselves. Problem is Afghanistan is corrupt as all ****, and the populace is largely illiterate.

It's also too easy for the taliban to get in, and it's dangerous. Who wants to wait outside with 200 other recruits. That's just asking to get killed. Or be seen leaving a recruitment center. Again, asking to get killed. It's essentially a stop snitchin policy they have in place, only they will most definitely kill you. No maybe.

Get off your soapbox for a moment and consider that.
Yes indeedy .... cause and effect.

Koran: Kill all the infidels wherever you find them. Show them no mercy.

Muslim: Praise Allah .... where's my sword?

And here we are .... 65 pages later ... and still arguing about who is to blame for these murders? Good lord almighty ..... 1 page should have done it .... the MURDERERS are responsible for the MURDER .... Sherlock Holmes can stay at home. Case Solved.

If you really read this whole thread, then you didn't get anything out of it.

No one disputes the murderers are responsible.

It's the actions of the pastor that are under discussion. It's not being debated that he had the legal right to do what he did.

So from your perch on high, above the lowly fray down here in the thread, do you think you might express an opinion on the propriety of the pastor's stunt?

I already did ... earlier in the thread ... you must have missed it.

But I'll be happy to climb down from the perch and repeat it for you, because that's just the kinda guy I am.

I believe the pastor's burning of the book is a demonstration of immaturity on his part, and I personally don't consider the pastor's actions to be very christian like myself, nor would I choose to do such a thing. To me, his actions more closely resemble the intolerant heathens he protests. But that's his choice, and he bears no responsibility WHATSOEVER for how others might choose to respond.

But there is one silver lining to that cloud ... his actions did expose these Muslim psychopaths for the violent, non-peaceful, primitive killers that they really are. Consequently, his actions are indeed a counter to those who's politically correct, poorly wired brains are still confused about the true nature of Islam.

i say someone should fly a few stealth bombers over afghanistan full of thousands of Q'rans with a few strips of bacon in between each page and drop them all over the country side. this will flush out all the radicals.!! they will be in such a rage they will all go bezerk and kill each other off in the process.!! first we must pull all troops out befor the operation code name "holy bacon stips" begins..


we are dealing with some sick freakin peps over there.. it's time to stick the tail between the legs and get the hell outa there. it's like trying to befriend a centipede, one can never trust a centipede.!!! it will always bite you when you try to kiss it's azz.

West gets it. He's one of the brighter lights on the political horizon.

How could it expose something that was ALREADY exposed? These extremists have been killing like this for years. We've been out there fighting them. The pastor didn't bring to light anything new. The extremists are the kind who have been strapping suicide bombs to kids and driving vehicles filled with bombs into areas congested with troops and civilians just to name a few things. We already knew they were crazy, we warned the pastor that they were likely to act this way which is obviously something we could only have done if we already knew they were like this.

Unfortunately his unnecessary action may have just created more enemies from the villagers that troops were working on to see our side of things but hey no worries, the pastor isn't the one having to deal with the direct fallout from that so it's not like he or his followers care.

How could his actions have created more enemies?
