Bush Asks Americans to Recycle Bacon Grease to Aid War

President Bush said Wednesday that Afghanistan is becoming a safer, more stable country, thanks to the efforts of President Hamid Karzai.
"Mr. President, you've got strong friends here," Bush told Karzai after they met for about an hour at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel here. "I expect progress and you expect progress, and I appreciate the report you have given me today."

The two leaders made no direct mention of Afghanistan's soaring drug trade, the unsuccessful search for al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden or the resurgence of the Taliban.

"Malalai Joya is at age 29 the youngest person to become a member of the Afghan Parliament. She was one of 68 women elected to the 249- seat National Assembly or Wolesi Jirga in 2005. She won the second highest number of votes in Farah Province. But after she spoke out against the fundamentalists and former warlords in the parliament. she was suspended from the parliament on May 21, 2007, until the end of the current term, which ends in 2009. She has appealed to the Supreme Court in Afghanistan.



Malalai Joya rose to fame and gained international attention in December 2003 when, as an elected delegate to the Constituional Loya Jirga, she spoke out publicly against the domination of warlords. Since then she has survived four assassination attempts, and travels in Afghanistan under a burqa and with armed guards.

E.R. Why did you come to Germany, and what did you hope to achieve here?



M.J. The Left Party parliamentary group in the German Bundestag invited me to come to give them update about the disastrous situation in Afghanistan, about the terrible problems of women there, and about the role of foreign troops, including German troops, in Afghanistan.



My message for German people was clear: I hope that Germany will completely separate its Afghanistan policy from the wrongful U.S. policy, which is a mockery of democracy. The "war on terror" is a mockery, and so is the U.S. support of the present government in Afghanistan, which is dominated by the Northern Alliance terrorists. The U.S. government is fighting the Taliban under the name of the "war on terror" but is working with and helping the Northern Alliance terrorists who are just as much dark-minded killers and rapists as the Taliban. It was the Northern Alliance leaders like Burhanuddin Rabbani, Abdul Rab Rasul Sayyaf, and others who gave shelter to Arab terrorists in Afghanistan for the first time. But today the U.S. government tries to paint them as being "democratic-minded" and "liberators of Afghanistan"!



If the German government and German troops want to prove themselves to be real and honest friends of the Afghan people, then they will act independently of the U.S.: unlike the U.S. government, they will rely on Afghan people and freedom-loving individuals and groups, who are the real alternative to the fundamentalists.



Today we need security and liberation, but in the name of security, the foreign troops deprived us of our liberation. We need international support, but we don't want occupation. Sadly, today Afghanistan has become an occupied country, and the U.S. government is pursuing its regional and economic interests there, while the well- being of the Afghan people seems to be of no value. The U.S. nourished and empowered the Northern Alliance even though they are more a danger than the Taliban, as President Karzai himself confessed. And the Taliban are getting stronger simply because the majority of the people do not support the present government.



We should remember that it was the U.S. who originally supported the Taliban and built them up, and the U.S. also supports the Northern Alliance. The U.S. could easily get rid of the Taliban if it wanted to do so. It seems strange to the Afghan people that a superpower is unable to red rid of a bunch of medieval-minded, illiterate and ignorant people like Taliban. Actually, the U.S. is not serious in its fight against the Taliban and just needs an excuse to prolong its presence in Afghanistan to threaten Iran, China, Central Asia and other Asian powers.



Here in Germany, I had warm support from the people - many even cried as they told me of their support for the liberation of the people of Afghanistan. I was deeply touched by sympathies and solidarity of German people. I came here to show my support for the democratically minded people in Germany and all over the world, who can be a powerful voice against U.S. policy.

Part two

E.R. What would you like the U.S. to do?



M.J. Simple -- the U.S. must stop its support to warlords and must help us bring people like Sayyaf, Rabbani, Khalili, Qanooni, Fahim, Mohaqiq, Ismael etc. on trial as war criminals rather then installing them in the top positions. The U.S. and its allies must seriously consider disarming all illegal armed groups who are imposing their fascism on our people across Afghanistan. But no one takes notice of this situation, as these criminals are either governors, police chiefs, or in other posts. The people of Afghanistan do not support the Northern Alliance war criminals and warlords in our government and publicly burn their pictures.



The U.S. must respect the Afghan people, and the U.S. must stop its war crimes. Far more civilians have been killed by the U.S. military in Afghanistan than were killed in the U.S. in the tragedy of September 11, 2001. More Afghan civilians have been killed by the U.S. than were ever killed by the Taliban.



But the U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan are innocent, because they have been told that they are bringing us democracy. When I spoke in the U.S. earlier this year, people who had lost loved ones in Afghanistan came to me to hug me and cry and to say that they understand more and more that the U.S. policy in Afghanistan is a mockery of democracy. We need the helping hand of the freedom and peace loving American people.



E.R. Would you like the U.S. to withdraw from Afghanistan?



M.J. Yes, as soon as possible. We need liberation, not occupation. The only hope is that other countries with troops in Afghanistan will force the U.S. to change its policy of fostering criminals. It seems from the experience of the past six years that the U.S. is not willing to change its policy, so the U.S. must go.

The difference is that today there is no shortage of squeaming, liberal pigs.

I am a non-American communist and not a liberal.
Thro' the above response I had shown the hypocracy of BUSH.
Would you mind to uphold Bush and co's virtues?
Here is one quote which also exposes the lies of BUSH

"In the third Terrorism Index, more than 100 of America's most respected foreign-policy experts see a world that is growing more dangerous, a national security strategy in disrepair, and a war in Iraq that is alarmingly off course"
