Taliban vs. Al-Qaeda by Bob Miller

I have been asked several times to define the difference between the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. Since there are several articles addressing this online, which I'm forced to agree are a bit vague, for the lack of a better word, I've decided to use an analogy.

The Taliban: Is a religious-based group that came to power in 2000, and after doing so, dropped all pretenses of believing in domestic or international laws and human decency, and picked up right where they had left off six decades earlier. The only noticeable changes were the swastika was replaced with the American flag and the race to be exterminated was no longer the Jews but the Muslims. The new Fuher, George W. Bush, however, unlike Adolf Hitler, picked up only one book, "The Pet Goat", in the 8 years he was in power. While he did not actually read the book, the Secret Service said he was able to follow along as the children read the book. This is understandable since the country was under attack at that very moment, and to have to read and worry about the safety of the Bin laden family would have been multi-tasking. Even though the Fuher was still tremendously popular with millions of obese, broke, unemployed and homeless morons, alas, he had to return from the shithole from which he came, Texas. Thus ending, at least for now, the new Nazi Party's plans for world dominance and the construction of more torture camps.

Al-Qaeda: Is also a religious-based group that to their utter surprise ended up with absolute power in 2009; therefore, they had no plan. To their credit they had selected the smartest one in their group, a guy named Barack Hussain Obama, to lead them. Never having been a leader like this before, and feeling pressured, our new Command-In-Chief decided that if Bush's cabinet was good enough for Bush, they would be good enough for him. So he kept the ones who wanted to stay to do for him as they had done for Bush. He told them if they had a problem that money could fix, to go see his accountant, a guy named Ben Bernanke, and he left. The really good news is that during the year he was gone, he ran into the Wizard of OZ, a guy named Scott Brown, who gave him some courage and he returned all fired up. But there is also some seriously bad news. This, Barack Hussain Obama, the leader of Al-Qaeda made an appointment of his own. One, Rashad Hussain, as his deputy associate counsel. Hussain is a devout Muslim who participates in events connected with the group known as The Muslim Brotherhood. This group is the world's most influential Islamic fundamentalist organization whose stated goal is to create Muslim States throughout the world. With any luck at all, this Barack Hussain Obama just might be able to persuade Mr. Anjem Choudary to leave England and come to the U.S. to be our nation's spiritual advisor. This would certainly prove me wrong. I said that we just couldn't do worse than having Bush's selection of Jerry Falwell as our nation's spiritual advisor.
