Yes, We can thank the West for that. Whenever we destabilize a country, obviously, or covertly, we leave the door open to zealots, who have been victims of this heavy-handed quest for resources and political influence. The Taliban and Al Qaida are the shadows we leave behind, after bombing the shit out of some country, or using silent, deadly drones to violently dismember a family, or ten. Fucking over third world countries used to work so efficiently; a puppet government in our pocket and we were off to the races, citizenry be damned. Unfortunately, IEDs, cell phones and the Internet changed all that. Now, things are at a point where we will spend $400 Billion (yes, with a 'B') on a stealth fighter, that is already over a decade late (F-35), instead of using that money to directly help ourselves. We keep hoping that if we pour enough of our weapons into the world, we can somehow return to the good old bad days, of 'might is right'. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, s3raphita@... wrote: What a shit-hole Afghanistan has become.

One more thing -- We hear a lot of propaganda by our leaders, about how every conflict we initiate, is a quest to uplift humanity. I remember that dork, the last president Bush, repeating, They hate us because we are free. No, asshole, they hate us, because whoever survived the last missile attack, is just a little bit pissed off, that his children were killed, instead, and there isn't enough left of them, for him to bury. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote: Yes, We can thank the West for that.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Fighting for a Failed War
Let's not forget that Afghanistan is known as the graveyard of empires. Of course the real reason the US was there was so that billions if not trillions of dollars could be made by the military industrial complex. It's all about money. So we didn't speed $400B on a stealth fighter, instead the MIC stole our money. On 01/25/2014 05:15 AM, doctordumb...@rocketmail.com wrote: Yes, We can thank the West for that.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Fighting for a Failed War
that's not the only reason - the billions paid by taxpayers for the rebuilding of Iraq and Afghanistan that went to Dick Cheney's buddies - that was an important reason for us to be there too On Sat, 1/25/14, Bhairitu noozg...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Fighting for a Failed War To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, January 25, 2014, 5:34 PM Let's not forget that Afghanistan is known as the graveyard of empires.

S3, It goes to show how the Taliban destroyed the country in the guise of religion. They became the breeding ground for Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.
