So much good stuff....as for the 911/Afghanistan connection. Thats where AQ was and thats where Bin Laden was. We hit their camps and we rolled up a bunch of religious nutbgas in the process. Funny thing, Bin Laden assasinated Masood, the leader of the Northern Alliance a day before 911, cleaning house knowing full well US SOF would be linking up with our one ally in the region to come hunt him. Masood would be President right now and Afghanistan would be much farther ahead.
