Senate Majority Leader Frist cuts and runs from the Taliban

Unbelievable. It would be a huge mistake. Frist is another GOP idiot.



Keep D&D Civil.

 

why does Frist hate america?

 

Not only that but the b*stard slipped anti-online gambling language into the port security bill.

This is a dark day for the United States, the day America died and the b*stard birth of a literal dictatorship.

 

What in the hell?

 

Frist:

I’m currently overseas visiting our troops in Afghanistan, but I wanted to take a moment to address an Associated Press story titled, “Frist: Taliban Should Be in Afghan Gov’t.” The story badly distorts my remarks and takes them out of context.

First of all, let me make something clear: The Taliban is a murderous band of terrorists who’ve oppressed the people of Afghanistan with their hateful ideology long enough. America’s overthrow of the Taliban and support for responsible, democratic governance in Afghanistan is a great accomplishment that should not and will not be reversed.

Having discussed the situation with commanders on the ground, I believe that we cannot stabilize Afghanistan purely through military means. Our counter-insurgency strategy must win hearts and minds and persuade moderate Islamists potentially sympathetic to the Taliban to accept the legitimacy of the Afghan national government and democratic political processes.

National reconciliation is a necessary and an urgent priority … but America will never negotiate with terrorists or support their entry into Afghanistan’s government.

 

Litella:

never mind.

 

Perhaps Frist needs to videotape his remarks and then diagnose himself later.

 

I read stuff like this and it just strikes me how incredibly stupid our elected officials seem to be. Five years after invading Afghanistan, Mr. Senate majority leader thinks we need to win hearts and minds? What the hell man.
