quote of the day


“TO WATCH THE COURAGEOUS AFGHAN FREEDOM FIGHTERS BATTLE MODERN ARSENALS WITH SIMPLE HAND-HELD WEAPONS IS AN INSPIRATION TO THOSE WHO LOVE FREEDOM. THEIR COURAGE TEACHES US A GREAT LESSON—THAT THERE ARE THINGS IN THIS WORLD WORTH DEFENDING. TO THE AFGHAN PEOPLE, I SAY ON BEHALF OF ALL AMERICANS THAT WE ADMIRE YOUR HEROISM, YOUR DEVOTION TO FREEDOM, AND YOUR RELENTLESS STRUGGLE AGAINST YOUR OPPRESSORS."

--Ronald Reagan, 1983

1. Now WE are the oppressors. And I do encourage the Afghans to fight off the current empire
that invaded their country.

Until the US leaves, WE ARE THE ENEMY of freedom.

3. Who are now the same guys who are "defending freedom" from the new invader.
Except, this time, we're funding them through Pakistan and claiming we aren't.
