Omg dude, it's like out last debate all over again.

Be honest, did you even know that bin Laden lived in Pakistan longer than he lived in Afghanistan, after 9/11?

Or that part of the Pakistani government harbored him and protected him?

The ISI are snakes. It didn't surprise me too badly.

But your seriously using "well, Bin Laden left Afghanistan right away after 9/11" as an excuse?

Don't forget the French.

Clearly, the Iraq War was a Russo-American-French plot to destroy paradise on earth, aka Baathist Iraq. Oh, wait.

Both the US and the Soviets are responsible for selling weapons to anyone with dollars to spend. Both countries are guilty of arming the world.

The profiteers don't give a damn about sides or death or anything except making money. They win all wars by getting richer.

We struck a deal with Iran, which has been anti American for decades. Of course Iran isn't going to follow the agreement, and will go right on trying to develope nuclear weapons. Spoiler alert: we'll probably be invading them in 5 years to get those darn WMDs out of their hands.

War is a business.

I mean, if you'd prefer to see a mushroom cloud going up over New York from a nuclear device that miraculously found its way into the hands of a terrorist cell.....

Yes. Why are we fighting in Afghanistan "because they helped OBL" when Pakistan's own government harbored him for 9 years? Do you realize how many American soldiers, plus Europeans died in Afghanistan from 2002-2011 when we were "looking for obl " in the wrong freaking country?

Isn't Pakistan responsible for our dead soldiers from 2002-2011?

except it attacked US and other embassies during the Carter administration which is an attack on our country. Iran should have ceased to exist after that unprovoked intrusion

The Shah was installed with help from the CIA in 1953. The US actively overthrew the Iranian government cause they nationalized their oil industry. The US wasn't some sort of innocent victim in the region.

Yeah, but the US has enough military bases there so Pakistan is okay......

doesn't matter, an attack on our embassy is an attack on our country and carter should have destroyed Iran for that. we should have given them two days to turn our citizens back over to us and if not, we should have annihilated everyone responsible. and obliterate any opposition. We should have made a horrible example out of that country and if so, I doubt we'd have the problems over there we have now
 
re: The war in Afghanistan: 15 years with no end in sight [W:116]

Doesn't the whole "we killed Osama bin Laden" thing not make a lot of sense? I mean the US finally killed the most wanted man in the world and they just take a half assed picture and then dump his body in the ocean.... Really?

you were hoping for a "Braveheart" moment-his legs and arms sent to the four corners of the kingdom and his head impaled on a spike in the middle of Bora bora to send a warning to his FM followers?

Or maybe a hollywood production of pigs defecating on his body played all over Jihadland?

You really don't know?

Please... Be so kind as to pick up a history book. No one said Iraq was invaded due to 9/11.
 
Re: The war in Afghanistan: 15 years with no end in sight [W:116]

Maybe some better proof that he was actually killed?
