Nice try, Issa, but that canard has long since been relegated to those who line their klobuks with tin foil. stay uninformed. When I was working in DC, I happened upon a couple of Afghan cab drivers, who openly talked about, among other things, their raising money to buy arms to send home. This was in 1983. As my friend (an elected official since then, and more up in the congressional staff before then) continually reminds him, I told him at the time "In twenty years, we'll be fighting them."

So, do you then also say that the U.S. supported the IRA for almost a century, because Irish-Americans sent money to them in Ireland?

So, let me get this straight, Carson: as long as a dictator protects Christians, he can butcher whomever else he wishes?
Cool. I forget which thread it was where you called for the US to remove the butchers in Bahrain. Oh, you didn't? It's your rationale that determines which regimes are in need of removal that is being questioned (with no coherent response), not Nelson's.

Peter King (the same one who flamed hysteria over the Dubai port deal, one of the most brainlessly conservative knee jerk moves in recent history) a prime example. of course, with the Taliban, it went even further than that: after all, that's how al-Qa'idah got its name.

Actually it is coherent: follow the US foreign policy du jour. Of course, THAT's incoherent.

Wait...the Islamist backed rebels may have been the ones who used chemical weapons. So the "freedom fighters," whom the hawks want us to put in power since they are the arm chair experts, are using sarin gas. Well, I'm not surprised since they are terrorists who kill innocent Christians (and other innocent Muslims). U.N has testimony that Syrian rebels used sarin gas [ reuters.com] (Reuters) - U.N. human rights investigators have gathered testimony from casualties of Syria's civil war and medical staff indicating that rebel forces have used the nerve agent sarin, one of the lead investigators said on Sunday. Insert generic, pro-war, comment in 3..2..1

Unless Richard Perle says it, Stuart doesn't believe it.
It makes the Chechnya/Russia problem an uncomfortable one these days, but that's a different thread.
