  1.  @bsmithhammer  Death and destruction can have a way of communicating that nothing else has.

  2. Poor analogy. He clearly dislikes Bannon but that was not exactly a good comparison.

  3. The US never supported him against USSR as that group was never involved in that fight. They came much later and were terrorist's at heart.

  4.  @sandwind123456789  The Taliban originate from the madrasas in Pakistan and Al Qaeda are funded via the brotherhood in the middle east. Not complicated.

  5.  @sandwind123456789  Al-Qaeda were a brotherhood funded organisation that came much later. The Taliban are most certainly sponsored by Pakistan. Both groups may appear the same but they most certainly are not and have different agendas. The Taliban thought they were being smart by hosting the brotherhood assets before 911 but the US would never allow that to take place hence why they swatted them like flies. The Taliban are effectively manned by Inter-Services trained operatives and the Taliban would use the ambiguity of the border to form cross raiding parties. Mujahideen was never a singular group and was a term that got used to describe the opposition to the soviet invasion. It routinely then gets rolled over into describing Al-Qaeda is not accurate.

  6.  @sandwind123456789  Cook was a left wing socialist that seen the world through left wing eyes. He was a proponent of Nuclear disarmament and more or less blamed the west for everything. Not for one moment did he talk about the slaughter that communism committed and prefered to blame the west through that whole period. Al Qaeda was born out of the greater Salafi movement and its philosophies are pure Sayyid Qutb and the Society of the Muslim Brothers. None of this is really groundbreaking or even contested and was not created in the Afghan invasion either and goes back much further to the 1920s and even further back than that. Cook like Corbyn would not even class the Brotherhood a terrorist organisation that is how much he really cares about the issue.
