Most of the terrorist that conducted the attacks died in them, the masterminds were being harbored by Afghanistan....not Saudi Arabia. Should Britain attack us because a lot of IRA funding comes from Americans?

Bin Laden was Saudi. We finally found him in Pakistan, not Afganistan.

We should have sent in a small international force, taken out Bin Laden and his cockroaches, then gone home. There was no need for a decade long limited war. There was certainly no need to invade Iraq.

What does his citizenship have to do with it? Do you know anything about Bin Laden's history?

No, what I said is that they are complicit in the attack, which they are. There is no separate argument, it is the same argument regardless of your excuses.

No, I linked what you said, gave how I read it, and asked if you wanted to amend it. You neither amended nor explained, so you are arguing they were behind 9/11.

Dude, I've explained about a dozen times. They harbored, aided and abetted the terrorists that committed the attack. They provided an environment that allowed them to coordinate and train for the attack, aided and abetted the network that committed the attack and attempted to protect the masterminds and leaders of the attack. Furthermore, the leader of the network was an integral participant in the Taliban. Turn around, you're pissin in the wind.

You quoted him as if his word was the be all, and end all in the matter.
In fact, what we have seen in public support for our continued military occupation of Afghanistan is waning support both there and here at home.

Support in U.S. for Afghan War Drops Sharply, Poll Finds

"The greater malaise is that Afghanistan, a country notorious for resisting conquerors, is becoming increasingly hostile to the foreigners who say they have come to help. Trust between Americans and their Afghan clients is in free fall."

I never quoted him. I told you that we did not appoint him....and we didn't. That's a fact, I don't have to like him for history to be history.

They did not train for the 9/11 attack there. They did that here. Learn to fly and all. So, admit Afghanistan didn't attack us and that you want to make another argument for invading Afghanistan, and we can move on.

Just who is included in this category of people who hardly qualify as human beings and who, therefore, we need to hunt down and kill? Is it all Iraqis? Afgans? All people in the ME? Anyone who doesn't like what the US has done in the ME? Does it include women and children as well? Is it anyone who is a devout Muslim? Just how broad is this "people who hardly qualify as human" category? Just wondering.

The is not about nation states. Forget names like Iraq, Afghanistan, borders etc. Islamo-fascism is a security community. If you don't know the difference, you have homework. The terrorists are no more Iraqi or Afgan or Yemeni or Saudi than I am. They are Islamo-fascists, period. Hadji for short.

It has very little to do with religion - religion is the vehicle. It is about the will to power.

and who gets to declare someone as an unlawful combatant and therefore undeserving of any human rights?

Putting hard core terrorists in jail accomplishes nothing, dude There is no deterrent factor and they win by being allowed to speak at trial.

There is only one solution - shoot them in the face....kill them

No, he fails to understand, as you do apparently, who selected and appointed him as president ofnthe transitional govt. further, you ignore that he was reelected to the position.

I've ignore nothing. What happened later doesn't mean he wasn't appointed to begin with.

Don't you know?


After the 7 October 2001 launch of Operation Enduring Freedom, the United Front (Northern Alliance) worked with teams of U.S. special forces. Together, they overthrew the Taliban regime and mustered support for a new government in Afghanistan. Karzai and his group were in Quetta (Pakistan) at the time, where they began their covert operation

(snip)

In December 2001, political leaders gathered in Germany to agree on new leadership structures. Under the 5 December Bonn Agreement they formed an Interim Administration and named Karzai Chairman of a 29-member governing committee. He was sworn in as leader on 22 December.
