This kind of incitement has become a pattern with the US and its "allies on the "War on Terror"".





Afghan president mocks Taliban 'cowardice'



CAMP DAVID, Maryland (CNN) -- Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Monday that the Taliban still endanger innocent people, but they pose no significant threat either to his government or to its institutions.


President Bush greets Afghan President Hamid Karzai at Camp David, Maryland, on Sunday.

"It's a force that is defeated, frustrated, acting in cowardice by killing children going to school," Karzai told reporters during a joint news conference with President Bush. Karzai said he is working to root the Taliban out from their mountain hideouts.

For his part, Bush described the Taliban, who ruled Afghanistan and harbored al Qaeda before the September 11, 2001, attacks, as "brutal coldblooded killers" with "a vision of darkness."

Bush noted that speculation last spring that the Taliban would launch an offensive against Karzai's government was countered by a U.S., NATO and Afghan offensive. Bush said Afghanistan's 110,000 troops are being aided by 23,500 U.S. troops and 26,000 troops from other nations.

Since 2001, "we've committed more than $23 billion" to help rebuild Afghanistan, Bush said.

In addition, more than 640 coalition troops -- most of them Americans -- have been killed.

4. This is nothing new
Just amazing that this crop of political idiots never learned from history.

Every shit-heeled, tinhorn dictator the US has propped up has used the same language, and all of them (well most of them) had their heads displayed on pikes, so to speak.

This too shall pass.
