Senator Patrick Leahy said…
** America has now become a Taliban State where thugs herd women like animals…
…And, beat them on the streets! (10 seconds)
** Where ancient religious figures that stood strong for 1700 years are blown away (Video 38 seconds)
** And, where fathers and their 4 year-old sons sit together and assemble IED’s (Video 53 seconds)
