Why should we have bombed Afghanistan after 9/11 ?

The hijackers were Saudi and bin Laden was hiding out in Pakistan.

More troops have been killed in Afghanistan under Barack Obama then under George W. Bush.


Let that sink in for a minute.


Barack's "good war, bad war" strategy has been a colossal failure. The Good War - Afghanistan - has no value to the US and is a complete cluster**** under his watch. The Bad War - Iraq - Barack abandoned and caused the entire Middle East to erupt under his watch.


Barack Obama - The Worst President in Modern American History.

irrational comment of the day.
What if a terror suspect fled to the US after masterminding the deaths of thousands people in Russia? Would you be okay with Russia carpet bombing us?

Taliban harbored him. Waste them and their country as a lesson to others.

He never lived in caves. That was set up for propaganda purposes.


The 10 key myths about Osama bin Laden | World news | The Guardian

In the late 1990s, for propaganda purposes, Bin Laden invited select journalists to meet him in caves near Tora Bora in eastern Afghanistan. However he lived in a much more comfortable compound a short drive away, near the former Soviet collective farm of Hadda owned by a local warlord. By 1999 he had moved to a complex of houses near Kandahar. When he was killed, he was living in a relatively comfortable detached house in Abbottabad, Pakistan. In between, there is no evidence that he spent any time living in caves. The rest of al-Qaida's senior militants appear to have lived in the semi-fortified houses that are common in the tribal zones.
