This whole thing started because they wanted to create a new pipeline but had some snags Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. In Yugoslavia Slobodan Milošević opposed the pipeline plans forcing the USA to create a crisis and use it as justification to remove him. In Afghanistan the Taliban wanted their cut of the profits forcing the White House in negations with Taliban leadership. The terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in September 2001 was promptly blamed on them despite lack of evidence.
All of the best information available shows that Osama Bin Laden died somewhere between the 22nd and the 24th of December 2001 and according to Benazir Bhutto he was murdered by Sheikh Omar Saeed.

Dear Jord, These wars are a waste of time?!?! How will the fake economy prop itself up without all the drug, and weapons money generated by current conflicts? How will we maintain the lifestyle with which we have become accostomed without brown babies getting stacked up for control of oil? No way Jose, press gang our poor and send them half trained to the slaughter so we can stay over fed and over entertained! Yeeehaw!
Karzai does not owe "us" anything, the important issues are what he is doing for his people, and why we feel he or any other afghan should feel indebted to our attentions.

Lets not forget that at 1st the Taliban were Freedom Fighters.
After Russia pulled out and the US/UN abandoned them they became an organized Drug Cartel protecting all export trade routes.
After their meeting in Houston with the Bush demanding a bigger percentage of the profits they were demonized and labeled Terrorist.

Obama:
Oh nose! We must keep fighting in Afghanistan because of the super dangerous Al-CIA-da.
The fact that Afghanistan borders Iran has nothing to do with the continuing occupation.
Nothing at all...

Funny how Reagan called them Freedom Fighters and now we are calling them "Terrorists", this is blatant hypocrisy...
