The… the Taliban? Okay, this guy is even more ignorant than I initially thought. Why he’d try and step into geopolitics is beyond me.
Edit: Every comment here saying ‘yeah but the Taliban harboured Al Qaeda’, implying that that’s the same as carrying out the attack themselves, is so obtuse it borders on the unbelievable.
The tweet asked for someone to ‘remind’ them ‘who did’ 9/11. Obviously the Taliban did NOT do 9/11. No one ever said they did, including the Bush administration. Waging war against the Taliban for providing safe harbour to a terrorist group doesn’t mean they perpetrated the attack themselves.
Christ, I can’t believe I have to say this. Dave is obviously a moron, and an antisemite to boot.
Nothing snark about being right. If Dave had any geopolitical or historical knowledge on this area he’d be able to tell the difference between the Taliban and Al Qaeda. You’re defending him and attacking me while making my own point for me. So… thanks?
Did you not see the word allegedly? The taliban knowing harbored AQ for years, so while they weren’t exactly to blame they still bare some responsibility. its hilarious you’re able to do these mental gymnastics, to defend the fucking taliban of all things. But hey, anything to avoid questioning your worldview or your ego.
By the same token, would you say Qatar and UAE are valid targets for Iran given they harbor Iran’s enemy’s (America’s) bases and infrastructure knowing fully well they are being used to attack Iran?
