I remember the twin towers going down and in the middle of the news coverage the Israeli ambassador came on and started in on how we had to do something about Iraq. I was shocked and amazed. We hadn't even had a chance to count our dead or know who the perps were. Iraq wasn't even in my mind. But it was in theirs. Funny how the the news media never questioned their motives. But just two years later, where did we send our troops? After everyone in the administration kept linking 09/11 to Iraq. What's the latest news in Afghanistan? You hear it about it every day? Anyone know what their political situation is like? Is it important to you? Why not? Where's Bin Laden? What about the Saudi connection? I'd like some answers.
Afghanistan was and remains the first of the two great fraudulently justified war crimes of this administration. Karzai remains entrenched as President of Kabul alone, with no authority outside the city. In his and his paymasters' desperation they have started giving weapons to various tribes hoping they will fight the Taliban, which retains great popularity in a significant chunk of the country where women never have been "liberated" as oft flasely suggested by the mainstream media. I suspect they shall find those weapons turned back on them as foreign imposed invaders and puppets. Talk over at NATO now is to try to send more troops, which will only prolong this fraud and result in more Western soldiers getting killed or maimed for life to further grasping corporate hegemonic aims. Tis sad our grandfathers bled and died in WWII for nothing obviously, since the Western Powers once again presume it their right to invade and attempt to control other sovereign nations with no real interest in anything other than how much they stand to profit.
