I didn't support the invasion of Afghanistan, and I still don't. I would have supported hunting down and surgically killing the people responsible for 9/11 (and I said that)- and that might have ended in the capture of Osama, who Mr. Bush just never mentions anymore... But no, I did not support the invasion.
Explain something to dense little me....I'm sure you will slice the salami quite thinly to somehow make sure your position is consistent, but anyway, here goes, and the response should be comic, at best, turgid at worst, but....how exactly would have Osama have been "surgically" removed from Afghanistan after the Taliban refused to give him up without somehow infringing Afghanistan's sovereignty, i.e., invading it?
And, given the Taliban's support for Al Qaeda, wouldn't simply removing OBL "surgically" from Afghanistan without also remving the Taliban have also allowed Al Qaeda to continue to operate within Afghanistan's borders? Could AQ not have had a safe harbor from which to plan further operations against the US?
Perhaps you can tell us how to have "surgically" removed the Taliban without invading Afghanistan. Neat trick, that.
You are really amusing. Thanks for the comic relief. |
