On Afghanistan: The government that came before the US - TopicsExpress



          

On Afghanistan: The government that came before the US intervention in 1979 was briefly, warts and all, the only progressive government of any kind that Afghanistan has ever had. They talk about womens rights; thats the only period that girls went to school and women went to university. George Galloway, 08-02-2014 And to the conspiracy theorists on ISIS: I dont know what could be bombed in Afghanistan, the stone age country that we helped to create. There is nothing there. Hardly a building stands. The only thing to hit in Afghanistan is people, and every slain Afghan will be a new banner for new Bin Ladens. George Galloway, House of Commons, 14-09-2001 The airport in Kabul is no more than a collection of shacks, whose telephones couldnt even make outgoing calls. And the statement delivered by our defense secretary with all the gravitas of Captain Mainwaring, that we had achieved air-superiority over Afghanistan - over a Flintstones-style air force which couldnt even leave the ground - will live forever as one of those stories you could not make up. George Galloway, The Guardian, 20/10/2001
