U.S. Senate majority leader calls for efforts to bring Taliban into Afghan government.
Um. Yeah. So... the Senate Majority Leader now wants the Taliban back in charge of Afghanistan.
Didn't we, um. Start a war to prevent just that?
Posted by JanerThe war in Afghanistan was not started to remove the Taliban from government, but to capture Al-Qaeda, release foreign prisoners and to close terrorist training camps. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._invasion_of_Afghanistan.
The Taliban refused to do so and the war was started .
Okay, while that may be true as far as declared policy goes, I don't think it's hard to argue that Bushco has made great political hay from removing the Taliban from power. Who could possibly think it's a good idea to allow them into the Afghani government?
