WH refuses to call Taliban terrorist group
- Thread starter pluckngrit
- Start date
And I saw the White House Chief of Staff this past Sunday on Chris Wallace's show say that we don't negotiate with terrorists. Really? Bergdahl says hello Mr. President.
The main Indo-European dialects of Afghanistan are closely related to Iranian, which, or course, is related linearly to English and the rest of the Germanic family. In Pushtu, "Tali" is "scholar." "Ban" is "band," so, "Taliban" is a "band of scholars, and that's the way they see themselves, even if no one else does...
That's because we won the war on terror. There is no terrorism anymore. Just rogue acts of violence.
ding, ding, ding we have a winner
nailed it.
Sadly? I can't decide. I want to be out of that awful country too
I'm not sure the Taliban did much of anything against us (other than allowing al qaeda some safe haven) until we invaded.
Interesting read. Includes a list of current terrorist organization and those who have been de-listed. I don't think the Afghan Taliban is on the list during the Bush or Obama regimes.

Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) are foreign organizations that are designated by the Secretary of State in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended. FTO designations play a critical role in our fight against terrorism and are an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to get out of the terrorism business.
Legal Criteria for Designation under Section 219 of the INA as amended

- The organization’s terrorist activity or terrorism must threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security (national defense, foreign relations, or the economic interests) of the United States.
Uh oh! Taliban kills 3 American contactors right after WH denies they are terroist. Blood on Bummers hands.
You should really read up on the history of the Taliban. Your post really shows how ignorant you are on this. Sad.
Sigh.... I post from the official US State Department website and include one factual statement of my own and am called sadly ignorant. Oh well, not the first time my
vast intellectual prowess has gone unrecognized and under appreciated.

don't you realize that the state department is in on it? they are just another cog in obama's tyranny machine
Please read my post real slow. The definition of terrorism is defined by policy and law going back to 1989. You don't trust Condi Rice? She's on the football playoff committee you know.
Can't have every Tom, Dick and Harry running around defining things. Aren't you in the food service business? What if an employee started calling baby food motor oil instead?
The fact that your messiah in the White House is "defining things" to fit his own radical agenda and you defend that speaks volumes. But carry on. He is the messiah, after all.
