this makes sense for iraq but i'm not sure we really wanted to go to afghanistan, if we wanted the Taliban by themselves were enough excuse. i would say that we wanted any sort of war for the military-industrial complexes sake though

Lol yeah hmm what could be in afghanistan worth anyone's time oh well but i guess if we HAVE to give the cia control over 90% of the heroin trade and the ensuing profits then aw shucks well why not
