Ronald Reagan Meets with the Taliban
 

So did George Bush jr when he was governor of Texas. They were trying to push through the trans-Afghan oil/gas pipeline deal for Unocal.

Is Mullah Omar in that pic??

Surprising how righties forget facts & history like this.

this thread needs Vendzilla...

even more surprising how imbeciles think it was a lefty, righty thing and how context is never explained with these images...

It was different back then, because the Tallyban only hated on woman and little girls and boys that liked to fly kites. So it was all cool until they started crashing airplanes into buildings and stuff.

He has this thread on /ignore

I love how the least intelligent among us believe memes are some sort if historical fact.

Not just "rigthies" Mark...at that time the Soviets had invaded Afghanistan.

The U.S. was arming and financing the Taliban and even Osama Bin Laden to fight against them.

And of course...when WE invade them we are the good guys and they are the bad guys.

When Russia invaded them...THEY were the bad guys and the Taliban were "freedom fighters"

Reality is...both the Soviets AND the U.S. had no business invading another country. And even though we condemn what the Taliban did to women and children...they were and ARE "freedom fighters" for their country.

We (and the Soviets before us) are the bad guys. We invaded their country. They are fighting us for their freedom from us.

And by the way...it was a DEMOCRAT who was the main guy behind the whole thing happening.
His name was Charlie Wilson a Democrat Congressman from Texas.

You misunderstood. What I mean, is that those who love every inch of the Gipper, don't remember that he met with the Taliban, or that he traded arms for prisoners, etc...

Selective Memory = Halfhiemers

Wrong again, cuckold. US supported and supplied Taliban with weapons way before Soviets moved in. As matter of fact, US petty much suckered them in to Afghan war. Ever heard of Zbigniew Brzezinski?

"We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war " - google this quote

Spot on Captain!:thumbsup

But the selective memory of many is at work on some of these historical facts.

right and it was the correct strategy at that time.
It was intent on bankrupting the soviets and it worked like a charm

Zbigniew Brzezinski is a cocksucking democrat like markprice

is it still ok to say cocksucking democrat ??

Sure you can use any political party name and cocksucking to describe them.

Didn't bankrupt shit but it was right strategy to start another war. Just like Angola, Nicaragua, Honduras.

Unless he is black? I guess.

Yep its the truth. You got to remember we installed all these people to fight the soviets. We trained Bin laden, put Saddam in power, installed the Shah of Iran. Then people had the balls to get upset when Ron Paul said 911 was chickens coming home to roost.

He might be a while. Afghanistan hasn't got a coastline so he's had to park his submarine at the bottom of Pakistan and walk up.

Hey Cheese Dick, I was gone watching my daughter graduate college

You fucking morons will believe anything won't you?:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Reagan met with the Mujahideen, not the Taliban.

Taliban started around 1996, Clinton was president!

Just because you can find a cute little poster that says something, doesn't make it right.

They were freedom fighters that were attacking our enemy, the USSR.

You guys remember when the USSR tried to attack Afghanistan right? Or were to too young watching rem and stempy?

:thumbsup
Although usually those imbeciles tend to be leftists tools. Just coincidence :winkwink:

It must really suck to be you...

First I didn't post the photo, and sorry I confused them with the Taliban. But no problem Jethro - just keep getting your facts fucked up like you usually do. You think Ronnie's any better for this? Fuck now.

The people your poster boy met with is the Mujahideen. To stick it to Russia in 1985, Reagan chose to SUPPORT extreme groups. Ol' Gip sent arms to fanatical fundamentalists like Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who's followers would throw acid into the faces of women who refused to wear veils.

You may want to take Reagan's posters down from your wall there, Chet.

The difference between Mujahideen and Taliban is like the difference between Datsun and Nissan.

^^this

same heads, new towel

:thumbsup

Ren and Stimpy started around 1991. Bush was President!

no, it isn't.
from your link:
"""Often erroneously paired with this photo is a Reagan quote, "These gentlemen are the moral equivalent of the founding fathers."""

Reagan sent arms to a group who was fighting the USSR, our enemy. THE group who was fighting the USSR who had invaded their country.
You're misinformed (again) because of your youth and penchant for believing the liberal trash you read.

who would have guessed that all these years later we now stand in line at airports with our shoes off. I sure wouldn't have seen that one coming.

:thumbsup he nailed it

That's not what you said, as usual, you have no fucking clue moron.

So supporting a country that is being invaded by the soviets is a bad thing?

We should remember that if Canada gets invaded!

You got a job yet ?


:thumbsup

:1orglaugh

the funniest part is how peep like you glob onto bullshit memes like this, not to mention the implication of it being that it's inherently wrong to publicly meet with foreign diplomats/reps and RR is somehow the big bad boogeyman in 2014 because of this meeting 35 years ago.

tell me **********, what's wrong with meeting foreign representatives like this.

For a while now, my company, one big client. Why, just looking for a way to insult me and that's the best you can come up with on your limited imagination?

here's a good one for a meme

?We are on your side? Clinton to terrorist militia member Oct. 18th 2011

White liberal trash are the worst :2 cents:

and Rockefeller met with Saddam Hussein

We should have took their shit instead of making them rich.
