Hillary praises Soviet invasion of Afghanistan



WASHINGTON, December 18 (Online): US Senator Hillary Clinton, praising the former Soviet Union the other day for its 1979 invasion of Afghanistan, said that the attack helped bring women's rights to the fundamentalist Muslim country.

"The Soviets tried to provide more opportunities for women," Mrs Clinton told the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, in a speech billed by her office as "her first major foreign policy address as a US senator."

In quotes picked up by the New York Sun, Clinton noted that Afghanistan was "the place where September 11 was conceived and implemented." She then criticised the Bush administration for not focusing more on the former Al-Qaeda stronghold, reports Western media.

Contrasting the US occupation of Afghanistan with that of the Evil Empire, Clinton complained, "Too soon the eyes of the administration moved from Kabul to Baghdad."

The former first lady detailed her Thanksgiving Day meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, saying she urged him to implement a high-profile effort to improve maternal health.

Clinton said that such a program would be critical because the people of Afghanistan need to see that America's presence has produced "tangible results" like schools and health clinics - not just electoral and political reforms.

She then suggested that a Soviet-style occupation of Afghanistan, which included the wholesale slaughter of the Afghan people in a bid to install a puppet government, had its merits, since it helped women.

"One of the reasons why we were able to marshal the Mujahideen and the warlords against the Soviets is because the Soviets tried to provide more opportunities for women," she told the CFR.

To provide more opportunities for women, you have to kill men. Less men, more women = more opportunities for women...
Is this what she meant?

Homer: Kids, you tried your best, and you failed miserably. The lesson is: never try!

Snipe now your begging for black choppers over your house. Personally I think if she were elected she would cause a back lash that would put femism back 200 years.
