I propose we send the entire Bush family to the Taliban to stand trial as compensation.
Could we perhaps get john f’n kohn-heinz-kerry to broker the deal? He could,in good faith(?), offer himself up as well.
Small comfort to the parents of US soldiers and contractors who died and were injured in that mountainous muslim hellhole...
As of July 27, 2018, there have been 2,372 U.S. military deaths in the War in Afghanistan.
-> 1,856 of these deaths have been the result of hostile action. 20,320 American servicemembers have also been wounded in action during the war.[1]
In addition, there were 1,720 U.S. civilian contractor fatalities.[2]
Hey TM -
RE: “I propose we send the entire Bush family to the Taliban to stand trial as compensation.”
To be intellectually and morally honest, you better include me, maybe yourself, most FReepers, and the majority of conservatives deserving trial and conviction for enthusiasticly supporting invading Afghanistan and Iraq after 9-11 gov’t complicit terror events.
Hindsight and current reality proves we were wrong to invade alien culture countried without the absolute resolve (stomach) to completely conquer them, no matter the amount of casualties.
Not mention resulting loss of moral authority that cripples our foreign and domestic state of affairs.
Based upon current cultural outcomes and trends, Islam is winning in the middle east and the West because:
Muslims love their authoritarian theology more than we godless kafirs love our western decadent culture, ever diminishing freedoms, fiat currency based economy dooming our children’s future prospects.
Demographics doom the west’s population replacement rate of 1.7 (less than crucial 2.2) vs 3.6 muslim birthrate.
The west is in its final phase of empire civilization.
The suffering will get much worse as our collapse continues.
Just as the Time Traveller warned us...
