We've got plenty of room in Wyoming and the Dakotas. We could have Muzzie cowboys.

They JUST got out from under the boot of the USA. You want to sentence them to MORE of it?

I hear the 'Absolute Mad Lord' did get out, or so the rumours go. Be interesting to see where he goes with his education and fame. If he survives his risk-taking impulses.

We have deserts too. We could move all the Israelis to Nevada. it would save the state from becoming a nuclear waste dump.

Yeah, women are like cattle in the Koran. Rights?

[Scot Dutchy]

Less than cattle. Two women are worth one donkey according to the koran. They have no rights. They must have sex when their husband demands it. A married woman must never be alone with a man in a room.
The koran is full of this crap.
Who in their right mind would trust the taliban.

A little diagnosis from a small island that managed to invade every country on the planet at one time or another and subdue nations far larger and make a profit in the process, like India. (a while ago but did have staying power for long enough to civilize them sort of...)

Fuck off.

A whole donkey? Not a chance. Mrs. Lak is worth, I dunno, a goat and a chicken. One goat, one chicken, 3 eggs, that's my best offer. Take it or leave it.

An article from the ABC suggesting that the victory by the Taliban will inevitably lead to an increase in global Islamic terrorism:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-18/ ... /100382876

America went to Afghanistan in the "war on terror", but with the Taliban again in charge and Al Qaeda growing stronger, experts say the global threat of terrorism is "exponentially greater" than it was 20 years ago.

There are two main ways the Taliban's control of Afghanistan increases the threat of terrorism, according to experts.

Firstly, there will be considerable opportunity for Al Qaeda to bring foreigners into Afghanistan to train and equip them as fighters, according to counter-terrorism expert Professor Greg Barton.

"When we think of Taliban today in control of Afghanistan, there is no evidence the Taliban has changed their view and lots of evidence of close association with Al Qaeda, through marriage, shared leadership and shared world view," he said.

Secondly, the Taliban's success may prove to be inspirational.

"The idea that you can win. The idea that the Americans can be pushed back," Professor of International Security and Intelligence John Blaxland said.

"That is reverberating around the world, that is right across the Middle East, north Africa, South-East Asia, southern Philippines, parts of Indonesia and southern Thailand — that's adding spring to the step of those who are railing against the infidels, the non-Muslim world."

Professor Barton said it was now very hard to counter that narrative because "everything suggests it's right".

"The jihadis will say, 'we defeated the Soviets in the 80s in Afghanistan. The Americans were foolish enough to come back, they tried for 20 years, they spent trillions of dollars and we defeated them as well'," he said.

"Just that narrative alone is going to have a powerful impact."

Is that the fee for taking her off your hands? Or a price for purchase?

All Republican politicians and media pile on Biden for mismanaging the withdrawal despite the fact that it was inevitably result in a catastrophe regardless of when it was going to take place or under whose presidency. Trump got that one right during a phone interview with Fox news on the 27th of February 2012. I give him that.

What are we doing there? These people hate us. As soon as we leave it's all going to blow up anyway [...] The minute we leave, everything blows up and the worst guy gets it.
