a short video (6:25) w/ a good timeline using news reports

a lot doesn't make sense as to why we'd do these things....how could we not see a convoy w/ 1,000 vehicles!?!?

there's also an interesting interview w/ an ex cia agent who was high up in afghanistan saying things don't make sense and it seems like the us just allowed them to get away


and a former us general says 'there has to be some sort of deal'

standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way

    I hate to say it, but things did look fishy. Especially now that we hear Rumsfeld couldn't pull the trigger in Pakistan when we could have killed a lot of Al Qaeda higher-ups. I don't want to think this, but I wonder if this administration thought catching Osama to early would have hurt the reasoning for war in Iraq, and also the war on terror. Maybe catching a ton of #3 Al Qaeda though is enough to show the US they were trying. Hmmn....

    I think we should take the war on radical Islam seriously, but this administration sucks. Bring on the hypocrite/idiot posts because it took me so long!
  • I like this guys response:

    The Soviets would never have invaded if the Americans hadn't been striving to destroy the Afghan government.The Us was directly responsible for creating Al Qaeda as part of its gang of proxy fighters to overthrow the Afghan govt and to fight the soviets. The Taliban were the only tribe brutal enough to defeat the US jihadist army who continued to get US arms and cash to overthrow the Afghan government even after the soviets left and continued causing massive civil war and chaos in Afghanistan

    Afghanistan's history, that will never be reported on Fox news:

    The Northern Alliance and the current US replacements for the Taliban are the original Jihadists that Reagan and Bush Sr. ordered the CIA to train in Pakistan Madrassas (Reagan called them his "freedom fighters" ). Reagan attacked the Afghan people because he was paranoid about Afghanistan's home-grown socialism even though it was booming the Afghan economy and providing employment, hospitals, schools and equality for women.

    Iraq was always the prize. Afghanistan was a pitstop along the way. They definately needed the boogie man alive to give the "Mushroom Cloud" statement a little more juice.
    9/11 allowed them to invade Iraq - it didn't force us to invade. Sad. Criminal.
