Talk about folks can't parse the difference  |
What? The U.S. invaded Afghanistan to oust their government, that's historical fact. In what world are you now arguing that they were invited? Invited by who? Do you actually think Bush was awaiting his invitation before storming over there after 9/11?
It seems you should go back and reread your history of these terrorist organisations prior to 2001 and what occurred between 2001 and July 2002, as well as the history of Afghanistan leading up to this point in time. For instance, the first terrorist attack carried out by al-Qaeda or the Taliban occurred in 1992, just less than a decade prior to Khadr's capture, not "over a dozen years" prior.
The difference between 9 1/2 years and 12+ years isn't significant, but a mounting list of inaccuracies when one recollects history can be damaging to one's understanding of major issues. As always, ignorance breeds hate.
