The NAZIS were part of the fabric of GERMANY — they were part of the leadership of that country before we engaged there.

California Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier hastened to explain away the controversy surrounding the Obama administration’s release of five dangerous Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo Bay, claiming that the Taliban aren’t “terrorists,” but rather “part of the fabric of Afghanistan.”
Speier made the remarks on MSNBC Tuesday morning, attempting to rebut Speaker of the House John Boehner’s claim that the release violated the U.S. policy of not negotiating with terrorists and that “we’re gonna pay for this.”
“Let me underscore the term ‘terrorist,’” Speier tried to explain. “The Taliban is part of the fabric of Afghanistan — they were part of the leadership of that country before we engaged there.”
“We are now actively attempting to get the Taliban to negotiate with Karzai and the Afghanistani [sic] government,” she continued, “because there will be some cooperation, some level of coordination between the two if that country is going to survive and move forward.”
“So,” she concluded, “to say that they are ‘terrorists,’ at this point, is not necessarily accurate.”

California Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier should also become part of the fabric of Afghanistan. She belongs there.
Leftists are truly insane. I guess they don’t remember the big statues torn down and the repression and killings and stuff....

Like Jim Jones was part of the fabric of San Francisco.
I tend to agree with him, and that is exactly why attempting to bring western values to Afghanistan is a fool’s errand and a black hole when it comes to national blood and treasure.
And the SS was part of the ruling German government.
