2. Well, Reagan used the same logic with the Afghani Mujahadeen when they fought the Red Army.
The unintended consequence of that is that some of the training and weapons we left behind ended up being picked up by Al Qaeda.

5. Yeah and this deal was also to promote chaos, war and terror
for years to come. The ammo dumps in Iraq were left unguarded on purpose also

9. Destabilization of the Middle East has been a U.S. interest for nearly a century.
There's no other explanation for the interference, imho.

3. The violence will cease when the number of things to blow up decreases.
Al Qaeda is clearly running out of things to bomb. That mosque was a re-bombing.


The Daily show just is a total life saver.

7. It makes so much sense to arm a group of people that wish us harm.

11. This is the most unbelievable thing i've read about the war in at least a year or two
Our government seems to just want death and destruction. Nice that they're now buddies with Al Qaeda (as if they weren't before - it's just that more blatant).

8. Caught show for the first time in months only to see racial stereotypes
being played out. The Senior Black Correspondent/Mexican bit was so NOT funny. And what was that reparations crack about? Try again Stewart. :eyes:

10. Is it also more money for companies supplying weapons?
This is screwed up to be sure.
