ORIGINAL: xssve I've researched it thoroughly my friend, the Taliban even offered to turn Bin Laden over if we could prove he did it - we couldn't, so we attacked the Taliban. Yes. There was a whole chain of events, involving a massive, nonpartisan majority of Americans on their feet and frothing in the aftermath of a terrorist attack, and a gaggle of warlords who keep their women in hefty bags are trying to stand in our way. If you were actually opposed at the time, how did you think that was going to work out? I was thought it was an awful idea from the minute I heard Afghanistan mentioned. There is no such thing as victory there. It's where empires go to die. I also knew our going in was inevitable. When then candidate Obama claimed this was the war we needed to fight, I hoped like hell he was smarter than that, and lying. No such luck. He'll neither offer them victory, or bring them home, and now President Obama is taking away one of the best weapons our troops have. Re. the offer to hand Bin Laden over, it was hard to take the Taliban seriously at the time. One minute they offered to send him to Pakistan to stand trial, then they claimed they didn't know where he was and they also stated he was free to wage jihad from their nation http://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=80482&page=1
