The Taliban, War As Pornography, Haliburton and Corporate Media

If the Taliban didn't have a legitimate base, a viable organic base that wasn't terrorized into existence but actually supports the Taliban and is the Taliban. If not in deed, in principle.  The United States will not have to recruit and grow an opposition to the Taliban.

If the non-Taliban population of Afghanistan are just as vigorous in opposing the Taliban as the Taliban is aggressive.  The question would then simply be how much War materiel do we give the non-Taliban forces in an Afghan Civil War and it will not be this War as Pornography of U.S. Army field divisions realizing the adolescent wet dreams of the John McCains and their Kelly Ayotte concubine demented delusions.

We triumphed in World War II over Nazism and Fascism, because the ideal and it's efficacy was clear.  But as soon as War is reduced to coups of patrimony we become as Pigs in Orwellian satire, witnesses to a dishonor of U.S. Army field divisions deployed, arrayed in rank and files against rag tag turbans---The mountains of Afghanistan are not germanic black woods of conquering Ceasars, nor are U.S. Regimental Colors, Centurion Eagles swaying in Punic struggles.

If our speech post 9-11 with the Taliban is consequentially a Reaganomic Stimulus for Haliburton and Co. Before the TeaParty stooge woke up to "stimulus" being all that is antagonistic with our Political-Economy as if Reaganomics never happened, then the Corporate Media collaborator should spell such out.
