They attacked the wrong country fergodsake

Bush wins the "Lamest President of all time " award.

1. Just out of curiosity - what was the right country?

I presume it was Afghanistan.

[Freedom_from_Chains]

2. Afghanistan did at least make some sense

seeing how OBL had his training camps there.

[BuyingThyme]

3. Yes, great flight schools in Afghanistan.

[Freedom_from_Chains]

4. Like I said, some sense, not great, but some. n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. No sense there either. The Taliban have regained control of Afghanistan.

And ** didn't get Osama, either. What did attacking Afghanistan solve?

[Freedom_from_Chains]

9. Oh yea, and the Taliban, they were some real sweethearts too.

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. Well the "sweethearts" have regained control, so like I said, what

did attacking Afghanistan get us? We cut and ran from there to attack Iraq, which had NOTHING to do with 9/11. Great strategy, huh?

[bluerum]

11. Point being - sustained effort in Afghanistan may have been

less costly and more productive in terms of disrupting terra-ist activities?

Then Helliburton would not be billions of dollars richer.

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. Well bu$hco didn't think so, did they? But then it was never about

the WoT with them, was it? War is good for profits.

[Freedom_from_Chains]

12. No, and I didn't say anything that should cause you to think

that I thought going into Iraq was a great strategy.

Geez, no wonder Democrats can't gain any ground. And it won't surprise me if they manage to fuck up this next election even though as of a couple of weeks ago it was being handed to them on a silver plater.

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. I didn't mean that toward you, it was meant for bu$hco.

[Freedom_from_Chains]

15. Sorry for my misunderstanding. n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. No problem. nt

[Jack Rabbit]

16. That doesn't mean that attacking was complete nonsense

One could argue that diverting rescources from Afghanistan (where the terrorists are) to occupy Iraq was complete nonsense.

[BuyingThyme]

7. We were attacked by Saudi Arabia. Royalty. Military.

(And their Texas friends.)

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. Right!

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. Afghanistan wasn't even the right country. Why should innocent

people in Afghanistan die and have their country bombed back to the stone age just because Osama Bin Forgotten was reportedly hiding in their country? I suspect that if ** really wanted to get Osama, he could have gone about it any other way then attacking a country's innocent population. :shrug: President Clinton went after the perps of the first WTC attack with attacking a country and killing innocent people.

17. What's the difference between Iran and Iraq?

Only one little letter fer Chris sakes. Ya can't expect me to remember all those furiners names. It's hard werk bein' prezident, I tell ya.
