People who write articles that start with flawed premise, then form their arguments. I’m pretty sure the terrorists were not “based” in Afghanistan. They were all from Saudi Arabia. We attacked Afganistan because we had a country united in anger and fear that was ripe for exploitation by globalist neocons. I always admired Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bolton, but my eyes are open now. I was never enthusiastic about either Bush but they were not Dukakis, Gore or Kerry.
RE: I’m pretty sure the terrorists were not “based” in Afghanistan.
So, you’re saying that the Taliban under Mullah Omar was not giving sanctuary to Osama Bin Ladin?
Only good think Joe dementia has done is getting out of Afghanistan, Bush and his cronies wanted endless conflicts, we accomplished everything needed in the first 6 months then we should have left, still makes me angry all the American blood spilled in Bush’s wars
