(23,872 posts)Why do I believe Bush and his father? Because in this case the evidence backs them up. The Taliban would never have handed Osama bin Laden over. It clearly was a stalling effort on their part.
Why do you believe the Taliban, Octafish? You know, the ones that gave Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda safe haven so that they could carry out the 9/11 attacks? Why are you defending them? Answer: because as otherwise heinous as you consider them to be, in this instance you consider them correct. Well, then, Octafish, if you can defend the Taliban on this one point without participating in their many other sins and if you can rightfully decry any attempt to link you with them as a smear, why the hell can't I defend Bush on this one point without you stamping a big BFEE on my forehead?
"over what we've since learned"? Remember, sir, we are speaking about Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda did attack us on 9/11 and the Taliban provided them safe haven. What about Afghanistan have we learned since then to negate that?
