    It was clear the leadership of Al Queda planned 9/11 from Afghanistan and were under the protection of the Taliban

      Was it clear? Or was that the official story?

      Look, I have no love for the Taliban, and I agree that they were supporting Al Qaeda. But there was far more evidence pointing to the Saudi royal family. Afghanistan was a convenient scape goat to distract the American people.

      Saddam was a bad guy, and the world is better off without him, but he didn’t attack us at all. Bush lying doesn’t make Saddam or the Taliban innocent. They are all bad in their own ways.

        It was clear, it was the official story, it was admitted by the Taliban and it was proven by history. There’s really no reason to doubt or spread any doubt on the subject
