That won't work fast enough. Gas would do the trick and kill billions in no time.

We shouldn't have stayed after killing the Taliban and having done so shouldn't have stayed so long. Now we should leave, but at this point yes it probably makes sense to partition the place as we head out.

Just Get Out !!!!

As Ron Paul said, "we marched right in and we can march right out".

It's 15 years overdue.

Why do we think we should tell other people how to run their country?

We have lost over for over 50 years, we broke countries that by God we had to pay and try fix while our healthcare system is a total joke. That money could have helped out own sick people paved new roads and so on. If i had that gas button to push i would have broke my arm pushing it so fast. Best thing for the whole world is you ask me, just take em all out.
By any chance you went to parkland high school and buddy with that guy??

Don't be daft.

Proof? The FBI quickly ascertained who the hijackers were, where they were from, their Al Qaeda membership, and the fact that they had trained in Afghanistan. The intelligence services of Germany and others quickly filled in the gaps.

Proof filed next to the boasts of Al Qaeda who were not shy about admitting they had done it. There was and is plenty of proof. Stop yapping and read some of it. Better 17 years late than never.

Or are you one of those confused souls who thinks George Bush planned the entire thing? Good God, you probably believe that.

I guess you and the Taliban woke up on September 12th and figured out what all those Al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan really were for.

I think you raise a very good point about continuing in Afghanistan. However, when you start implying conspiracy theories about 9/11 and suggest the Taliban are a bunch of innocent babes, you embrace a level of ignorance that is frightening.
