  • I'm sorry, but there is a connection,
    They use the same toilet paper. Qur'an.

    Where do you think all of this stuff comes from.

  • Yeah except Islam, Jihad, a hate for America, the west and the Jews.

    Seems to me this is all they need to continue blowing them selves up in markets filled with women and children.

  • MacGregor is slick.

    1. He endorses firing McChrystal while sounding sympathetic.

    2. He puts Petraeus under suspicion without actually condemning him.

    3. He declares the fight against the Taliban in Afghanistan unwinnable and Al-Qaeda irrelevant. Letting us form the conclusion that we should settle with the Taliban and hope they behave themselves hereafter.

    4. He portrays the administration as a bashful voice of reason barely standing against the military industrial complex that would More..

  • You can't rewrite history. The connections between the taliban and al qaeda are well known and they continue to this day.

  • Man, I am sick of seeing the current military report that there is only 100-150 Taliban left.... BULL-SHIT. I'm sorry, any American thinks that is bullshit.

    If that were the truth, we would already have destroyed them into dust and crop fertilizer for the next harvest of opium.

    • Al Qaeda, not Taliban. I'd imagine there are still a large amount of active Al Qaeda and supporters in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and possibly other placed like Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the Sudan. Every one and there mother knows there are thousands of what we call Taliban. They are not one solid unified movement, but more like ISAF, a multitude of Afghan and Pakistan Pashtun, Uzbeks, Iranian backed groups, and the various other pissed off ethnic groups. I'd imagine if we did leave, the More..

    • Its probably true to some extent, it just depends on what size of area you are talking about. The guys closest to bin laden carry minimal weapons and electronic communication devices. As you get further and further away from bin laden, the more communication devices and weapons are present with the other guys protecting bin laden.

      When the drones or satellites are over nw pakistan when they see the guys closest to bin laden, they just think they are poor farmers.

      In total there is maybe 300 pe More..

  • One of the most articulate and informed commentators I've ever seen on FOX, no obvious bias for either side or obvious agenda, guy just tells it like he knows it.

  • No connection??? What's with all of the time spent trying to convince Americans otherwise? Gosh, they lied to us? What a surprise.

    Now they need to go publicly admit that there was no connection between Saddam and 9/11. Yeah, right. Like that will happen. This "War on Terror" is a joke.

  • Finally, a decent speaker who knows what he's talking about on Fox... I agree with this guy, even the end about Obama's decisions...

    Each troop costs us over $500,000 a year to keep over there.... do the math, that's an insane amount of money being wasted on a country that the majority doesn't want us there.... hopefully they will pay us back with these resources WE FOUND.

    • I agree we need to pull out but the resources are theirs not ours. If they by some miracle do create a stable government then we can and should trade with them. Problem with the resources is that they will need security for them to get it, which means our troops.

    • The Afghan government would likely not have the means to fund everything necessary to extract those trillion dollars in resources. They would likely have to opt for foreign investments mainly from China and America, which would of course receive a large chunk of the profits.

    • You are wrong about the resources. I'm black and I break into your house and steal your TV, It is now mine. I hope this clears it up a little bit.

  • So the Pentagon thinks up the longest possible strategy to continue endless war, 'democratising the Middle East'

    Military industrial complex gets rich... America gets poor
