Not a single one of the hijackers were Afghans.
Picky, picky, picky.

No, but the ones who hid the man responsible were.
Thanks you for letting me know.
They all trained or traveled to Afghanistan. We need to make sure no training/recruitment camps reopen after we leave.
So you are sending your kid back to Afghanistan to continue the fight right.. Or do you just expect other families to bear that burden.
I have 4 rotations to Afghanistan. How many more should my family have to put up with.
If they set up terrorist camps and start training folks to attack us, then yes, we should intervene.

The Taliban:
- very likely did not know what Osama bin Laden was planning;
*- were not at all involved in what Osama bin Laden was planning;
*- had nothing to do with the execution of what Osama bin Laden had planned;
*
and
*- despite the fact that the US and Afghanistan had no extradition treaty between them, actually offered to turn Osama bin Laden over to the US if the US made a request for his extradition and complied with the norms of international law with respect to that request.
The US government was NOT prepared to comply with the norms of international law with respect to extradition and demanded that the Taliban turn Osama bin Laden over to it based purely on a demand that the Taliban (which the US government did not even acknowledge as the government of Afghanistan) do so.
sorry, but I remember them specifically knowing he was responsible for the attack and still refusing to hand him over.
We won't hand over bin Laden, say defiant Taliban - Telegraph
You mean just like the US did in the Kurdish Autonomous Region?
And what would your position be if they "set up terrorist camps and started training folks to attack _[fill in the blank with the name of a country OTHER THAN the United States of America]_"?
Uh, context?
- "You mean just like the US did in the Kurdish Autonomous Region?"
A little more context, please. What camp are you referring to? Do you have a link?
And I am still not sure what your point is.
There shouldn't be any terrorist training camps anywhere training people to launch terrorist attacks in any countries.
If we allowed one to exist in Kurdish territory, then that was wrong.

and go on from there.
I don't see where the US government was protecting any of those camps. In the first link, there's mention of a Kurdish camp in 2002. We eventually invaded Iraq a year later and presumably shut it down. No mention of us protecting it.
The Wikipedia and ABC links do not even mention camps in Kurdish areas.
Seems like you're just being a curmedgeon and throwing crap against the wall hoping something will stick.
I said "and go on from there". Feel free not to if you so chose.
LOL. Back up your own claims, if you can.
Try [h=3]Al-Qaeda's Armies - Washington Institute[/h]
and go on from there.
Sorry, I'm not going to read through a 200+ page book to look for something that may or may not be there.
You lost your credibility the last time when you threw up a wall of irrelevant links.
If you can point me to a particular page to back up your claim that the US government set up or was protecting al-Qaeda in the Kurdish Autonomous Region, then do so.
Otherwise, admit you were just blowing smoke and we're done.
I am more than willing to admit that you are not prepared to look at any evidence that does not conform to your preconceived ideas.
The Haqqani Network definitely is, and is more thoroughly interwoven in the Taliban than the local AQ affiliate. Sirajuddin Haqqani, leader of that terrorist organization, is the Taliban deputy Emir.You should be aware that "The Taliban" (in Afghanistan) is NOT, and never has been, on the US government list of terrorist organizations.

Keeping the Taliban off that list may have legally allowed us to pretend we weren't negotiating with terrorists, but it is a pretense.
They also trained in florida....so....when we taking that down?Thanks you for letting me know.
