    I always wondered why Bush invaded Afghanistan, inasmuch as the 9/11 bombers were from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

    Regardless of what the Afghanistan adventure may have become ( a campaign to turn a country happily living in the 12th century immediately into MASSACHUSETTS with big mountains) the Jihadis were the de facto government of much of the country at the time of the US attack and it was being used as a staging and training area to launch attacks against the United States. Sorry Uncle, that's just what happened.Obama said so...for a while.
