[Mishmash] Fwd: Fw: Hey Mr. Taliban...taliban banana!

[Susan Flewelling]

By way of explanation, Canada has troops fighting and dying in Afghanistan.  They routinely turn captured taliban over to the Afghan authorities and some of the tablian have complained that they've been tortured after they leave Canadian control.  The opposition parites (at federal level) here in Canada are making much of this for their own political gain.  Fortunately we have a Prime Minister right now who isn't afraid to stand up and be counted - he's no Tony Blair but he's pretty good.  Anyway, his question has been, "why do you believe captured terrorists and you won't believe our generals?"

Anyway, this showed up in my mailbox today -


>Hey Mr Taliban!! 
> 
>    Did nearly three thousand men, women and children, including a number of Canadians, die a horrible, burning or crushing death on September 11, 2001 or didn't they? And was support and encouragement of those terrorists not traced to the Afghanistan Taliban? 
> 
>    And today I'm supposed to care that Taliban prisoners might be "mistreated" after capture by Canadian troops? Not By Canadian troops but AFTER they're turned over by Canadian troops. 
> 
>    Well, I don't.  I don't care at all. 
> 
>    I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11. 
> 
>    I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia . 
> 
>    I'll care when these cowardly thugs tell the world they are sorry for killing far too many Canadian kids, pressed into service to rescue Afghan Muslims from themselves. 
> 
>    I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques. They are not soldiers! They are terrorists!!! 
> 
>    I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs. 
> 
>    I'll care when the Canadian media stops pretending that international law should prevail in a fight with religious fanatics. 
> 
>    In the meantime, when I hear a story about a Taliban terrorist getting roughed up to obtain information, know this: I don't care. 
> 
>    When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care. 
> 
>    When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer Mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care. 
> 
>    I do care however about the Liberals and NDP taking up time in Question Period and making this a cause celebre. I care a whole lot that these idiots are wasting our tax dollars giving this a moment's thought.  I care that they dare claim this Afghan prisoner poppycock "is a concern of all Canadians". Here's one Canadian who absolutely, positively doesn't give a bovine doo doo. 
> 
>    If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your e-mail friends. Better still, call your MP and tell them to get off this political hobby horse and deal with issues facing us, the CANADIAN people!! Maybe we can get to the people responsible for this ridiculous, hypocritical and overwrought behavior and bring it to an end!
