This trumps your bullshite cartoon.

You will be told what to think, and what to believe, and you will be made to believe that your true enemy is right next door, right down the street, in the next county, or school district, or state.

Pretty sure if you trade 5 high profile, "keyman" position terrorists for a deserter, you got taken, at the very least. Since NOBODY is that stupid, it must have been on purpose. Ya makes yer choices, ya drinks yer medicine. I doubt Obama loses any sleep over it.

Still trying to knock the fly's off your boy eh? To late he's a pile of chit

They were Taliban. You don't think Taliban are terrorists?

You might be able to correct me, but I thought Taliban was the government of Afghanistan before we invaded and put Karzai in power.

I don't know of Taliban fighting anywhere but Afghanistan, or NW Pakistan, maybe you have?

Al Quaeda are terrorists, and the govt of Mullah Omar gave bin laden sanctuary.

Terrorism against civilians

According to the United Nations, the Taliban were responsible for 76% of civilian casualties in Afghanistan in 2009, 75% in 2010 and 80% in 2011.[36][168]

According to Human Rights Watch, the Taliban's bombings and other attacks which have led to civilian casualties "sharply escalated in 2006" when "at least 669 Afghan civilians were killed in at least 350 armed attacks, most of which appear to have been intentionally launched at non-combatants."[169][170] By 2008, the Taliban had increased its use of suicide bombers and targeted unarmed civilian aid workers, such as Gayle Williams.[171]

The United Nations reported that the number of civilians killed by both the Taliban and pro-government forces in the war rose nearly 50% between 2007 and 2009.[172] The high number of civilians killed by the Taliban is blamed in part on their increasing use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), "for instance, 16 IEDs have been planted in girls' schools" by the Taliban.[172]

In 2009, Colonel Richard Kemp, formerly Commander of British forces in Afghanistan and the intelligence coordinator for the British government, drew parallels between the tactics and strategy of Hamas in Gaza to those of the Taliban. Kemp wrote:


Like Hamas in Gaza, the Taliban in southern Afghanistan are masters at shielding themselves behind the civilian population and then melting in among them for protection. Women and children are trained and equipped to fight, collect intelligence, and ferry arms and ammunition between battles. Female suicide bombers are increasingly common. The use of women to shield gunmen as they engage NATO forces is now so normal it is deemed barely worthy of comment. Schools and houses are routinely booby-trapped. Snipers shelter in houses deliberately filled with women and children.[173][174]

The Taliban has often targeted health officials that work to immunize children against polio due to fears of the vaccine, including the fear that it is used to gather intelligence about their organization.[175] Polio vaccines were banned in the North Waziristan region of Pakistan in June 2012[176] and in December 2012, Taliban assassins killed four female UN polio-workers in Pakistan because they were thought to be spies.[177] The Afghan government was forced to suspend vaccination efforts to eliminate polio from the Nuristan province in March 2013 because of a large Taliban influence in the province.[178] Taliban leaders changed their stance on polio vaccination in early May 2013, saying the vaccine is the only way to prevent polio and that they would work with immunization volunteers so long as polio workers are "unbiased" and "harmonized with the regional conditions, Islamic values and local cultural traditions."

Sycamore, this is harsh and a shame to say but you're a fool. You have Muslims coming across your own state border because your Muslim POTUS and his collegues wish it so. And they're not coming here to love and cuddle us. They along with the hispanic insurgents are illegally changing the demographics of the United States and you sympathise with Husseins mode of operation.
