To be fair, have you shown the photos of the women killed by the Taliban for wanting to have an education, a job, drive a car, wear normal clothes, have civil rights?

Hi gramps. Have you noticed that I don't ban you from my threads? That's because you amuse me and as long as you continue to do so I will allow you on threads. I consider you my own personal fool and am considering taking you on as a pet.

Will you feed him and water him and walk him twice a day?

Yes. I do agree with BAC that if he didn't exist they would have had to invent him. I have written in the past that I made a terrible mistake due to what I suppose you'd have to term benevolent racism (much like benevolent sexism, it is really not so benevolent). I judged that he would be far less likely to bomb people because unlike all of our other Presidents and Presidential candidates, he could look at them and see his children, and thus, their humanity.

I was wrong.

However, this does not change the fact that African Americans are the least pro-war demographic.

Yeah, I think I even saw an AA at a code pink rally once..........but I could be wrong.

You practice censorship because you can't stand differing opinions or people who point out your Marxism.

This thread of yours is pure anti white male propaganda and it is you .. a Jersey Shore feminist who has laid waste to American families and are costing the tax payers billions of dollars every year letting the government serve as a surrogate father for fatherless, abused children nationwide.

Funny, because your entire OP was nothing but another attempt by you to demean the evil white men, blah blah blah... quite funny you would in turn comment on the stupidity of someone else's post.

But again... good to know that you speak for black people. You are truly delusional.

The Taliban shoot teenage girls for having the audacity to want to go to school. They are also quite happy to sacrifice children because they are useful in the propaganda war.

Taliban using human shields, says Afghan army general

Senior commander echoes British claims that enemy is placing women and children in line of fire to stall offensive

Taliban insurgents are increasingly using civilians as human shields against the US-led attack on Marjah, in southern Afghanistan, a senior Afghan commander said today. Speaking on the fifth day of an offensive involving about 15,000 US, British, and Afghan troops, General Mohiudin Ghori said his soldiers had seen Taliban fighters place women and children on rooftops and fire from behind them.

At the same time US marines called in air support as they came under heavy gunfire from insurgents hiding in bunkers, houses and mosques. Ghori, the senior commander for Afghan troops in the area, accused the Taliban of placing civilian hostages in the line of fire. "Especially in the south of Marjah, the enemy is fighting from compounds where soldiers can very clearly see women or children on the roof or in a second-floor or third-floor window," he was quoted by Associated Press as saying. "They are trying to get us to fire on them and kill the civilians." His forces were having to choose between not returning fire and advancing much more slowly in order to distinguish militants from civilians, Ghori said, echoing comments by British commanders in the area about Taliban tactics.

They said US forces had found a "daisy chain"– a long bomb rigged up from mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and a motorbike. And for the first time, British army engineers have deployed a new device against roadside bombs. Called a "python", it is mounted on a trailer pulled behind a Trojan armoured vehicle, and shoots a length of high explosives high into the air and on to a minefield, where it detonates. It was deployed today to clear a dry river bed of improvised explosive devices north of patrol base Wahid in Nad-e-Ali, north-east of Marjah, the Ministry of Defence said.

British forces there have discovered a cache of stolen Afghan army and police uniforms, suggesting that the Taliban had been planning disguised attacks.
Dawud Ahmadi, a spokesman for the governor of Helmand, Gulab Mangal, said yesterday that 1,240 families had been displaced and evacuated from Marjah to Lashkar Gah, capital of the province.

Amnesty International said *today that the Nato-led force lacked the "credible mechanism" needed to investigate incidents of loss of civilian life or ensure that such occurrences were not repeated. The human rights group also described as "inexcusable" tactics employed by the Taliban, stating that knowingly endangering Afghan life could constitute a war crime. It urged both sides in the conflict to comply with legal obligations to protect thousands of displaced Afghans and those still trapped in areas of intense fighting. Amnesty issued the warning after the deaths of at least 15 civilians so far during Operation Moshtarak, including 12 people killed on Sunday when a house was struck by Nato rockets. A further three have since been killed in separate incidents.

Nato said that any credible allegation would be investigated. Carmen Romero, a spokeswoman, said: "We are trying to do everything we can to limit civilian casualties and we are increasing our efforts."

Asia-Pacific director Sam Zarifi said: "About 10,000 civilians have fled the conflict zone, but thousands more are caught up in the fighting." He added: "The Taliban have a record of knowingly endangering Afghan civilians in their operations, which can constitute a war crime. Insurgent groups are bound by international law to take every possible precaution to protect the lives of civilians."
