Afghanistan’s new rape law



OK this is another reason we shouldn’t be in Afghanistan. The new president, the one we put in power, makes a law legalizing rape in marriage to win over voters in the upcoming election. Wait a minute, I thought women were allowed to vote in Afghanistan? Ya think that maybe half the population would vote against such a proposal?


I wonder what the governor of Kandahar thinks about it? You know, the one we put in power – the Canadian. Isn’t this a quaint little pat yourselves on the back tea party. Then after an international outcry about the legislation, they said they are "reviewing" the legislation. Trying to figure out what stage it is in.

Afghan Lawmaker Safia Sidiqi said that she couldn't recall if the law was ever debated in the country's parliament. "It is impossible in a two-month session for parliament to pass a law more than 200 pages long," she said, referring to the 263-page law. Sidiqi also said that the law should be recalled for debate in parliament.

Well isn’t that special. They can’t remember if it was debated in parliament. The president makes a law without debate or a vote. A fragile democracy indeed.

Let’s remember why we went into Afghanistan. We were led to believe that Afghanistan was responsible for 9/11. However, if one examines the bin Laden confession video claiming responsibility for the attack, it doesn’t even look like bin Laden and there has been no other confirmation of responsibility.

Not the mention the unknown mystery of how the third tower fell in New York when no planes hit it. Without even touching on conspiracies the historical reality of CIA lead false flag attacks are historical realities. Then there’s the oil pipeline.

US oil companies in bed with the Taliban trying to win the contract to build the oil pipeline three months before 9/11. Then all of a sudden we’re at war with them when they give the oil pipeline contract to an Argentina firm. It all adds up to one thing – bullsh*t.

Bill Turner was a letter carrier from Edmonton who was killed serving in Afghanistan. Bill was a really nice guy. Many really nice guys have died for a lie. Actually several. It’s not a matter of pressuring the Afghanistan puppet government we are protecting from the insurgents into repealing the law. It’s about getting the f*ck out of the country and stop spending millions of taxpayers dollars there in aid.
