We went there for vengeance – then we left for a lie.
Now hundreds of thousands are dead in two different countries.
One country who was responsible for those that attacked us.
The other nothing more than the target of a flawed and corrupt political ideology.
The righteous war to avenge our innocent dead near abandoned to enrich the egos and coffers of chicken-hawk neo-cons.
Eight years later – we have to go back and do it all over again.
The righteous war to avenge our innocent dead botched by chicken-hawk Republicans who call me unpatriotic for protesting their idiocy and complicity.
8 years.
Jeff – as always, you are spot on – wish we could figure out how to “get through”!
“One country who was responsible for those that attacked us.”
Who exactly was that? After eight years do we even know any more than we did the first day. Media was pinning it on BL within hours after the attacks. Why haven’t we found him or even come up with evidence to try him?
The Times of India reported ties between the Pak ISI and ‘moneyman Sheikh’ to Atta, notice the date:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1454238160.cms
“The FBI’s examination of the hard disk of the cellphone company Omar Sheikh had subscribed to led to the discovery of the “link” between him and the deposed chief of the Pakistani ISI, Gen. Mehmood Ahmed. And as the FBI investigators delved deep, sensational information surfaced with regard to the transfer of 100,000 dollars to Mohammed Atta, one of the Kamikaze pilots who flew his Boeing into the World Trade Centre. Gen. Mehmood Ahmed, the FBI investigators found, fully knew about the transfer of money to Atta.” From here:

Which lead to this:
” President Pervez Musharraf suddenly purged his inner circle of pro-Taliban commanders on Sunday night, in a power shift that cemented his government�s dramatic break with its former Afghan allies.”

Alot of people thought the Pakistanis’ were ‘double dealing from the start:

Bottom line, we abandoned Afghanistan way before 9/11.

It was always a lie. We never had anything concrete tying Afghanistan to 9/11. If so, it would have come out long ago and OBL would be in custudy or executed.
