The Pashtun may not dominate as they are less than half the population, but they are the largest ethnic group in the country. The Tajiks are the next largest at about 25%

And had influence on the formation of what emerged post WW2 as nations, in the Middle East.

And, Prescott Bush was HUGE developer of German weapons development, and a business pal of Krupp.

Who was a major producer of war machines, with American Made Steel, sold to Germany and the Rising Reich, by Prescott Bush.

The arms dealers, they changed and still change, the shape of the planet.,

And the House Of Bush, changed the map of the Middle East. *G*

When Things says so, I’ll deal with THAT dis reality, too.

But till then, I take Things, as Things sez.

No offense to you . . . none intended.

But I have seen NOTHING he’s posted to say, Pashtun’s are different from Taliban.

And Pashtun’s are as diverse as ANY tribes in Af/Pak.

And they DON’T dominate, population wise, unless I’m great mistaken. *G*

When we reach THAT level of conversation, I’ll have other thoughts to consider.

All historically based, too . .

*G*

And like all 1% rulers in their lands, they were corrupted, owned all the facilities to make money, and got their share of anything legal or not, regardless of what they PROCLAIMED, in wiki.

And they still do, and they work with Paki, ISI, Kabul, and USA, to keep their power.

Some are taken out, others are not. Power shifts among tribes and tribal leaders, but it’s all still about making opium, refining heroin, transporting it.

And it’s all about the religious leaders of the region being part of it, to wield control and power.

And THAT power shifts, on a regular basis.

And OUR, 1% USA money mongers, are playing and using it it all, to broaden their influences and incluences.

At this moment, our policy in Af/Pak is all about gas/oil, the distribution routes for same, and of course, the drug trade production and the distribution routes of same that’s used for free flowing unaccountable cash.

Cash to front anything that’s needed to usurp nations, tribes, lives and more, to garner and gain more and more control over resources of all kinds.

It’s life, history sez so. It’s not a socialistic outlook, it’s not a rebel outlook.

It’s a fact of life, and history has proven it, for evah. *G*

Then, the Berlin Wall fell, and so did the USSR.

And in ’98, the same Freedom Fighting Taliban in Afghan, told Cheney and Halliburton to go Cheney itself, and sold oil/gas pipeline distribution rights to Germans, Russians, and Chinese.

And post 911, we went after them, for paybacks. And to reclaim them oil/gas routes rights.
Not to get bin Laden. Hell, we let his family OUT of USA within 24 hours of 911.
And that’s why we are still THERE!
And that’s why we did Iraq.
Resources, and distribution routes.

THAT’s a bit of a fuller picture of our past, with Saudi’s.
And the Taliban. In Afghan.
Not to forget, The House Of Bush helped give birth to the House of Saud.

Back in the 50′s. Or was it the 40′s.

It’s just business, it’s just the business of the 1%.
And YOUR interests are not at best, in their hearts.

Capiche?

Yer killin me.

The Taliban are members of LOTS of tribes, in AF/Pak, and elsewhere. There IS not a single biggest tribe.
Tribal inter and intra allegiences are a very fluid thing, dealing with recent transgressions, and those that go back a thousand years. I’m sorry, yer not fluent in Afghani/Paki affairs, I don’t think.

“. . . . so I believe them DiFi then wants us to vote against Democracy.”

WTF?????? ENGRISH?!?!?!

“The Taliban say what you will about them stopped Afghanistan’s Opium growing DiFi by fighting them you vote for more Heroin.”

They no more stopped opium growing than we are. They used it, and are using it, and we, the USA, want that free trade and loose cash to fund our black ops world wide. Yer still killin me. No links?

“The more money we waste in Afghanistan the more taxes will have to raised in America. Vote for more war and vote for higher taxes.”

That’s a no brainer. And I agree with you. It’s true about ALL our USA warlike efforts, far beyond Af/Pak and Iraq.

And she has NO background in law, so a spot on the Supreme’s is out.

She’s shilling for Richard, and their business interests, period.

Always has, always will.

Harumph.
