Well! not exactly Hilary!
The Taliban(students of Islam/Quran) have been in Afghan/Pakistans Khyber region since 1870's.
Infact,the BRITISH GRENADIERS fought the black-turbanned "Taliban" guerrillas in 1878-82,when the British Army suffered a TERRIBLE massacre whilst trying to occupy the region(and failed like everyone else in history since Alexander the Great).
Maybe Hilary was confused and thinking of the mujahadeen "al-Qaeda" which was trained,equipped,armed and funded by America,Saudi and the Persian Gulf region(and still is) to assist the US/Afghans to fight the 'atheist/communist' Ruskies!
Of course the majority of Afghan/Pakistani people hated al-Qaeda as much as they still hate them and the TALIBAN.
But with the invading hypocritical,'UNGODLY',white-man speaking with forked tongue' stomping around it's better the devil you know.....
so America surely has made the Taliban much stronger and 'popular',by invading and occupying the region.What did they expect? Hearts and Flowers?
The Taliban are NOT 'al-Qaeda' Hilary,you put that comment in the al-qaeda(TOILET-BASE).
And don't try spreading balm on the wound caused by America,in Central Asia to ease it.
The wound is TOO big and too infected with lies and corruption.
But at least TINCLONE is admitting a few home truths albeit too bloody late,because we knew them already.
But it's good to see Hilary expressing "transparency" of some fact,if not all.
Never mind what America did in the 1990's in C.Asia.
What are we going to do NOW?
Tell you what Hilary!
You will solve many multiple global anti-American problems if we pull out of Central Asia,Iraq,Saudi Arabia etc.
You will have immediate SIMMER effect rather than BOILING OVER!
Bring our boys and girls HOME SAFE.Leave the citizens of the Asian world IN PEACE.
Then turn and face the West,and do something about holding two-faced,belligerent Israel accountable for its sins and horrendous WAR CRIMES.
By putting Israel in its accountable place,for once in 60++ years and tears of its tyranny,America will quieten down and appease most of MILLIONS in the Middle/Near East and Central Asia.
If that's what the US wants of course?
Maybe Zionist Israel/US enjoy stirring up the Muslim world and distracting them with bloodshed and our monetary PROFITEERING from war?
That is why we are in Pakistan/Afghanistan to 'cull the Islamic herd' and NAB the Paki nukes right?
