George W. Bush speaking on the war in Afghanistan.

[Hperman09]

11 years ago, the world considered the invasion of Afghanistan as our right to defend itself. Nowadays, the world had totally forgotted it and now accused the U.S. of world police of sticking it's nose into Afghanistan for domonance/power rather than defend itself. It's seems like everyone forgotten why we went into Afghanistan in the 1st place.

@Hperman09 go take a look again at WTC 7 and ask yourself why did we invade afghanisnam? bush was full of sh!t, the whole 9/11 thing was a false flag attack, exxon (et al) will get rich of off it and the american taxpayer will pick up the tab. and, since saddam is no longer in power, and for the record, the 'christians' in iraq no longer have protection and have been getting killed off.

Just cause we didn't find 'em doesn't mean they didn't/don't exist.

@realworldbycj yes it does lol, the surveillance pictures taken by US Intelligence, when those sites were explored first hand by US Forces, there were no WMDs. Saddam Hussein bluffed about WMDs because they help with his superpower like image, and that image was what kept him in power of Iraq all these years.

[realworldbycj]

@Shaftsus Ok, I can see that happening. But I honesty just can't quite believe it's truthfulness just yet. He very well may have bluffed, but his regime is still hell bend on destroying America; and regardless of what Ron Paul says, it's not because we were bombing them throughout the 90s. Although I do think that that contributed to it somewhat.

[realworldbycj]

But our reasons FOR bombing them were justified, their attack on 9/11 was anything but. If they wanted to wake America up, they could've just as easily attacked a Military compound, nothing wakes us up quicker than when our troops are attacked.

[Shaftsus]

@realworldbycj Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, there was no connection at all. The only person in Bush's cabinet who disagreed going into Iraq was Colin Powell, who was subsequently removed as sec of state because of his disagreement. He was also the only person in Bush's cabinet with military experience - a retired 4 star general. The real reason why US Invaded Iraq was because they wanted oil - the US had oil refineries in every middle eastern country surrounding Iraq and Iran.

[realworldbycj]

@Shaftsus You're being a fool for listening to the liberals rant in saying that oil was all we wanted. I realize that most of our oil is imported from the middle-east, but we have more oil here in the US than all together in the middle-east. Do your research, you'll see it.

[realworldbycj]

The only reason we can't drill for it, is because of the environmentalists and Liberals who want to, quote "save the planet". Oil had literally nothing to do with Iraq. When you receive a threat from a heartless, genocidal maniac post 9/11 saying he is going to use WMDs against you. You don't just sit on your duff! You act, or people die!

@realworldbycj THANK you it is about time someone with a brain speaks

[realworldbycj]
