Comments on: Afghan voter registration going suspiciously … well

If the Taliban haven’t organized an offensive against the voter registration drives, it’s probably because they can’t — and that’s good news, even if it might be due to weather or fear of NATO. — Cap’n Ed

It is most likely because, despite all the naysaying in the press, and the fears of the military brass, that the insurgency is being pressed hard and doesn’t have the assets to fight back against these ubiqiutous registration events. If there aren’t enough troops in Afghanistan to quell the Taliban in some provinces, then the fact that the Taliban can’t quell voter registration means there aren’t enough of them to control their own territory either.

People do grow tired of bullies, and eventually do stand up to them on their own, you know. I’d say the vaunted terrorist insurgency in Afghanistan is way over rated by the press and Dhimmicrats (using their “miserable failure” criteria as the standard for any war started by a Republican), and our troops are winning again. Leave them alone and they might just win another war that everyone thought was unwinnable because “we make more terrorists than we kill”. What a load of BS that sentiment is.

Acting like a bunch of barefoot brigands, with visions of God and their most likely prospect of getting laid being 72 virgins in heaven, are an invincible insurgent force is just plain stupid on everyone’s part. Human beings don’t trot themselves out to be cannon fodder time and time again, continually losing battles and dying in droves, and then have great recruitment drives. Every MSM source and every poll that suggests this is so is dumb as a post. Morale matters. Constantly losing battles means you won’t find willing Men to do your fighting for you. Victory begets its own forces and force multipliers.

Quit being surprised that American Warriors who study war for decades, and who have more compassion for their fellow Man than any Dhimmicrat politician, are winning hearts and minds, and just support them when they say what they need.

Victory in the War against Islamic Radicalism is necessary, or we’ll end up under Islamic dictatorship, all over the world. For if they are victorious, who is left to stop them? The Catholic Church? Western democracies surely aren’t standing up for their own rights.

2011 Though there have been some incidents of voter intimidation and isolated attacks on polling stations, the ~~U.S. military~~ Chicago Police Dept. has been generally surprised by the lack of interference coming from insurgent groups as voters here register for crucial ~~provincial~~ state and presidential elections scheduled to take place next year.

AFCORN, that’s funny!

The Taliban is probably forcing them to register and then vote for the Taliban.

What the US has to worry about is the possibility that there is interference and they can’t see it.

Those ID cards are going to totally suppress the minority vote over there. Who knew the Afghanis disliked black people so much?

Baby steps people. Baby steps. With voting, we’ve brought them into the 19th century.

Next we’ll work on bringing them into the 20th century, and then maybe they’ll actually hit the 21st before the 21st century ends.

But lets not expect universal suffrage to be important in a country that gets to vote for the first time since, um, ever. This isn’t even Iraq, which is positively modern by comparison. We’re talking a people that are offered 20 million dollars for Bin Laden and turn it down because they can’t figure how the exchange rate for $20MM into goats, you know?

Iraq and Afghanistan election stories always give me hope… or bring out my naïveté. I use a pic of Iraqi voters as my desktop wallpaper.

People who risk their lives to vote deserve better than the lifestyle offered by the Taliban.

Or they are expecting to get their compatriots elected. There is the Taliban and then there is Al Qaeda and then there are the criminal warlords and drug lords. They all have different aspirations. You could say that the drug lords benefit from lawlessness but then again, a democratic government full of corrupt officials that was the single power would provide them with only one entity to negotiate with and it would be a known entity.

Just a thought on why they might no attack the democratic process.

They will still never be free while under the yolk of sharia law. They spend their lives with a knife to their throat. Remember the last guy who wanted to leave the peaceful religion of Islam for Christianity in that beautiful country?
