A democrat didn't invade a country the first time the trade towers were attacked. So most likely Obama wouldn't do ****.
Probably not.That is the 64 dollar question....I personally believe he would have asked the French to do it.........
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.

At the time, that "small group" was also functioning as the Afghan government...or at least the dominant military force.
The planning was done in Afghanistan and the Taliban was harboring the people responsible.
The perps directly responsible were killed that day. Al-Qaeda were in dozens of countries. The money to fund them came from Saudi Arabia through Pakistan, and even OBL seemed to flow freely into Pakistan.
Why we chose to move an entire army into AFG make almost as little sense as the Iraq invasion.
I think you're confusing Al-Qaeda with the Taliban.

Technically he wouldn't of attacked Afghanistan since Afghanistan didn't attack us. He would have attacked terrorists hiding in the border region of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
He sure as hell wouldn't have missed the target completely and landed in Iraq.
Thanks for your quality input. :2wave:No, he would have surrendered unconditionally.....
No, he would have surrendered unconditionally.....
He would try and reason with the talaban
Thanks for your quality input. :2wave:
Well, where's my thanks, then?....:2razz:
It's all conjecture, but taking into account his world-wide apology tour, I can draw the conclusion that there would have been much talk & no action....
If nothing else we knocked the 'bad guys' on their heels for several years....
Obama does nothing but embolden them by looking like a .. uh..easy touch...
Especially after licking Putin's & Medvedev's boots......
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."
No, he would have surrendered unconditionally.....
You know this based on?Technically he wouldn't of attacked Afghanistan since Afghanistan didn't attack us. He would have attacked terrorists hiding in the border region of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
