Would the U.S. attacked Afghanistan if Hussein Obama had been President?

Apparently Bush thought otherwise in 2001.

Fineman says Mr. Bush briefed them on plans for action against the terrorists and said, "“When I take action, I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It’s going to be decisive.”

Terrorists hate what the United States stands for and they thought Americans were weak, he continued. "They thought we were so self-absorbed in our materialism that all we would probably do is just sue them," he said. "Man, were they wrong."

He wouldn't have attacked at least until he had his world coalition, which probably wouldn't have happened.

Um no Al-Qaeda was a member of the Taliban government, they sat on their ministry of defense, and there was even an AQ specific branch of the Taliban military known as the 055 brigade. Furthermore; the Taliban granted AQ a safe haven in which to train and launch attacks against the U.S. and the West, they were co-conspirators in the 9-11 attacks and as such are just as responsible for the attacks as AQ itself.

Using your logic if the CIA decided to blow up a building in say Saudi Arabia it would not have been the U.S. that attacked Saudi Arabia.
 
Kind of happy this poll is one of the few not split right down political lines.

Good question.

I don't think he would have. But it is just a hunch not based on any real facts.

Then why did we end up in Iraq?
 
No, the Messiah would have apologized profusely and asked if he could do anything else for the Taliban.

I would hope not.

Invading whole countries to target small groups is a rather idiotic policy.
(as we can clearly see eight years later.)

Besides the fact they were all Saudi men funded through the Pakistani military.

Yes, it makes much more sense when nations attack the US to sit back and apologize.

BTW, it was Afghanistan that attacked the US, not "a small group".
 
Yes Im quite certain that upon discovering that it was al-quaeda and bin laden responsible he would've done the common sense thing and not done anything just like we say he would.

Yes, I hear from certain folks that he is a terrorist.

He's making it up because he wants to pretend Afghanistan didn't attack the US and he can thereby proclaim the US never had a reason to be in Afghanistan, as a means of further vilifying the evil Buuuuuusssssshhhhh!

Suppose after the Oklahoma City bombing, Tim McVeigh had camped out with a cult. They willingly gave him refuge and refused to turn him over to the police. Wouldn't you consider them to be culpable as well?

Although actually, even this analogy doesn't go far enough. In 2001, al-Qaeda were not GUESTS of the Taliban. Al-Qaeda provided financial backing for the Taliban; they had much more power behind-the-scenes than the Taliban did.

The reality of the matter is that the Taliban had made Obama sin Laden their Commander in Chief of all their armed forces in August 2001, thereby making the Taliban liable for his military actions, including the Taliban's attack on the US the next month.

Don't clutter it up with lies about how your Messiah doesn't like to apologize for evils the US hasn't committed.

I didn't realize they had commander in chiefs, or even called themselves 'armed forces'.

And the Taliban are from.... PAKISTAN ding ding ding. Way to chase your own tail and not find it.

Well, the evil started with a freedom filled holocaust of Indians, then started with a freedom filled couple centuries of slavery of africans... and then i looked up at the tv and saw his big black face and though. Wow, thats not gonna make things complex.

You are living proof. Every time you call him our messiah you might as well be screaming out the 6 letter word.

Taste my big fat race card.

There's no better way to attack those that attack us then to fight a completely separate country and say "hey look what we could be doing to you, don't think about attacking us again."

Oh.

So what you're saying is that the Messiah would have attacked New Zealand.

Go it.

Yes, Im sure its dithering. It's not an important decision or anything, you know, a decade long quagmire. And I hope you can issue proof that he's playing golf during his work hours.

Yes, it certainly seemed like a mental pooping ground.

LETS FIRE THIS THREAD UP!!! :rofl SSJ5!!
 
It's just something alot of people would think by reading what you write.
 
It's clear that the OP is full of *$&% given the fact that he called him "Hussein" Obama. I thought trolling was not acceptable on these boards.

Anyway, I'm not sure what he would have done given the fact that I have no ability to see into the alternative reality in which Obama was president at the time. It's all an argument for people who hate him to rant and rave over nothing.
 
I think he would have prefered to talk nice to them.
 
I seriously doubt he would have even tried to remove the regime.
Just a couple of missiles.
