Dem rep compares Taliban to soldiers in American Revolution (Nadler)
FOXNews ^ | June 10, 2014

A Democratic congressman offered a curious analogy on Monday to explain why the U.S. is dealing with the Taliban -- apparently comparing them to soldiers in the American Revolution.

According to sources, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., made the comparison during a House briefing late Monday with administration officials on the trade of Taliban members for American Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.

Nadler apparently made the point that the Taliban, as non-state actors, have a status similar to that of American soldiers who fought the British during the Revolutionary War.

This comparison, Fox News is told, was met with a lot of groaning by other lawmakers.

In Nadler’s case, you’d be hard pressed to FIND anything close to a normal mind inside that cranium. IMHO.

Seriously, these leftist lunatics really are crazy. The warriors in the Revolutionary War were fighting Tyranny from Britian...sheesh. Such kooks...this is what comes from bad teachers who don’t understand history, therefore cannot teach it.

“We’re getting killed! I want you all to go out there and support this decision publicly.”

“What the heck are we supposed to say? That dumbass President just saddled us with every terrorist attack from now on.”

“Don’t call them terrorists. Call them patriotic American Soldiers.”

“Are you high?”

“No, but they are in Seattle and Denver. Try it there.”
