“When people see a strong horse and a weak horse,” Osama bin Laden once famously quipped, “by nature they will like the strong horse.” America during the period in which Old Joe Biden continues to pretend to be president of the United States is decidedly a weak horse, and bin Laden’s old outfit has noticed. Last Wednesday, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released a video crowing over the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan and promising to inflict damage on the scale of 9/11 in America once again.
The Taliban, Al-Qousi declared, had won a “magnificent” victory, for they “have understood the essence of this religion and the nature of the conflict … they are men whose hands — by the grace of Allah alone — buried a third empire in the soil of Afghanistan and restored the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to rule by the shari’a of Allah, even if America and its allies hate it.”
If there is anything that the State and Defense Departments did not or would not understand, it was the role that religion played in the conflict. Foreign policy experts for years dismissed statements akin to Al-Qousi’s declaration that victory was won in Afghanistan “by the grace of Allah alone” as mere boilerplate, not realizing that for the Taliban, it was the essence of the entire war. That’s why they’re in power today in Kabul, thumping their chests over having defeated the United States.

Foreign Terrorist (FTOs) are foreign organizations that are designated by the Secretary of State in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended. FTO designations play a critical role in our fight against terrorism and are an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to get out of the terrorism business The current Official State Department List of Foreign Terrorist Organizations doesn't contain the Taliban.
On closer review, neither is the Taliban listed on the delisted page as a past Terrorist Organization. Magically it appears that the Taliban were never a Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Did the State Department fail to delist the Taliban as an FTO before it committed an act of TREASON ... delisting it belatedly, to cover up treason? The date for removing the Taliban as an FTO is missing and is a key to claims of treason, by giving aid and comfort to our enemies. FTO's are our declared enemies.

I say do it and we will be justified to remove h---s ourselves with a rusty b---e. Do it just do it. It`s decades past time to put an end to this insanity.
The State Department is a loss... write it off to Marxist Ideology... America is bad ... everyone else is good. The entire department needs purging... based on security clearance breeches alone... I doubt 10% of the State Department could pass a properly conducted Security Clearance review without massive waivers.
Biden wouldn't admit that he was among Cannibals, standing in a pot with boiling potatoes bobbing around him!

Horrible govt
Is anybody here on Telegram? Not suggesting forgetting this site. I've been away for personal reasons. Much of what is there ties in with discussions here.
One thing to be vary careful of is the Alinsky tactic of wasting our energy by spreading it over many battles. Then we can barely win any.
The american people learned - the current leaders did not. What is even worse, Biden, his military leaders, administration and the rest of the demockrats will not do anything to protect our country. Oh and any of you who are Moslim, when are you going to realize Allah has no grace. He wants blood.
Correct.. Allah is a twisted and contorted plagiarism of the Hebrew God, Jehovah...the wrapped interpretation and vision of Mohammad, Allah's so-called prophet...
The Arabic term Islam means 'submission'... no one in Islam is guaranteed admittance to Heaven unless they die a martyr in Jihad... dying for Islam. The entire Islamic cult is one of sacrifice and blind obedience. Women are the chattel property of men (bondservants or slaves) to be traded and dominated by men. They have very few rights and those they have are often predicated on a male partner acting to enforce them.
How ANY WESTERN WOMAN could support Islam is beyond my wildest imagination... only the misinformed or self-loathing Western Woman could accept Islam.
