Finally, after eight years, we are finally going after Osama bin Laden! Remember who he was? For thos of you with short memories, he was the single individual, in fact a Saudi Arabian who was behind the attacks of 9/11. He is now holed up in a cave along the Afghanistan and Pakistani border.
While King George was busy going after the boogyman in Iraq, the Taliban, which had all but been defeated in 2001 in Afgahanistan were quietly rebuilding. In case you don’t know, Afghanistan is the worlds leader in growing opium and the Taliban reaps huge profits from it…I mean huge!
Now, flash back to Iraq. In 2003, King George tells the nation that Saddam & Osama are in cahoots. Osama sits in a cave and, upon hearing this revelation by King George, scratches his head and a little light bulb comes on. He thinks, “Why devise plans to kill Americans in the U.S, when King George is directing them to play in our backyard? I’ll just send our boys across the Iraqi border (which Saddam wouldn’t allow before) and create havoc with them in Iraq! Which he did, and was able to recruit Iraqi’s to his cause.
Flash back to Afghanistan: What U.S. troops remain, are sent to Iraq to back up King George’s invasion. Afghanistan is a country in size of 250,000 square miles and the troops that are left behind are minimal…basically, 1 for every 250 sq. miles. The Taliban, which had once been close to absolute defeat, now sit and grin at each other. They quietly buy nice new rifles, mortars, bombs, missle launchers, and everything in between…and they recruit. King George brushes off the alarm that the Taliban are rearming and are planning to re-assert themselves.
Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld (Never trust a guy named Donald), figured that, if anything really got out of control in Afghanistan, he would just call up a boatload of Mississippi National Guardmen. However, he don’t even do that, instead further reduces the troop level because, well, things just aren’t turning out so good in Iraq.
Things are going pretty good for Osama…he has his guys blowing up U.S. Troops, stirring up sectarian violence between the Sunnis and the Shi’ites in Iraq and working with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Most of his forces join the Taliban (Like a Catholic joining the Boy Scouts…you CAN be both at the same time) . Now the Taliban are coming out of their valleys and caves and causing problems for the puppet Afghan goverment. Now the U.S. is forced, get that FORCED to go in again and eradicate the Taliban, which now have a bunch of new and improved weapons. If theKing would have followed through and wiped them out in 2001, there would be no need for the U.S. to lose more of our young fighting men and women. King George bailed out of Afghanistan before the job was finished, just as his dad did in Kuwait, by not going into Iraq and getting Saddam THEN! which cost us how many lives?
Now, there will be an untold amount of innocents killed…more troops killed and more billions spent to correct the situations caused by the King and his dad, George the 1st…
