Well, commies and al Qa'ida may have a few points in disagreement. But, you can be allies regardless, just like the US and the USSR in WWII.

Just look at the mass demonstrations in Germany or England for that matter. You see commies and radical muslims in alliance.

I'd like to know if any communist party has provided material support to OBL at all, or at least on the level the US government did in the 1980s.

Americans complaining about people supporting Bin Laden when they did so themselves when it suited them.

Agathon, no doubt the US supported OBL when he was fighting communism in Afghanistan. Why you would deny a similar relationship between communism and radical Islam today when the radical Islamic's are now targeting America is beyond me. Your alliance is obvious.

Actually the Colonel Tarenton, upon who the British bad guy flunkie was obviously based did indeed murder colonial wounded and prisoners, though AFAIK he never herded colonial civilians into a church and burned it down. The British high command didn't like his methods and rebuked him. He was not killed by the Swamp Fox as depicted in the movie, but instead survived the war. He was present at Yorktown. After the surrender, Cornwallis threw the traditional post-battle feast for the officers of both sides. He made a point of not inviting Tarenton.

That was Tarenton's cavalry unit. Cavalry was rather rare in the American Revolution. Tarenton commanded a unit of Tory cavalry and had developed effective tactics against American units. Basically he'd engage the colonials with infantry, then as front line troops were tied down he'd select some colonial militia to focus his cavalry attack. At this time in history well trained infantry could easily fend off virtually any cavalry force by forming into squares. Horses won't charge into tightly packed masses of men. Poorly trained militia men would often break ranks and run. Tarenton was famous for having ordered his men to never give quarter to rebels. His brutality angered both the British and the colonials, so he wasn't given the support that he required.

Eventually the colonials turned his tactics against him. A green militia unit was left exposed to bait him during a battle. His cavalry charged and the militia retreated, but as his horsemen approached the colonial lines they found that trained units had manuevered in a manner to turn the vacant spot into a killing ground of crossfire. Tarenton's cavalry was virtually annhilated. Cornwallis blamed Tarenton for having cause him to lose a crucial battle for ther control of North Carolina and refused to give him another field command. The loss of North Catolina forced Cornwallis to retreat to Yorktown, Virginia. At Yorktown Cornwallis placed him in command of a fort guarding the opposite side of the river, because he couldn't stand to have Tarenton anywhere near him.

At least Spiro had a good turn of phrase.

But he was morally/logically bankrupt.
