Uhhh, I wasn't talking about Afghanistan when I said
"Beating up on someone easy without connections to 9/11
while letting the powerful who were connected to 9/11 go
free." See, Afghanistan *was* connected to 9/11, and it
*wasn't* allowed to go free. Subtle distinction there.

It's ironic the way you bring up Afghanistan and then the
French. There is a simple fact that blows away both of your
responses: the French are still fighting along side the US
in Afghanistan. Get it? Just war = allies.
This thread would have ended about 100 posts back if you
didn't have your logical fallacies to fall back on. Of
course, without logical fallacies the GOP wouldn't be able
to get anyone elected dogcatcher, let alone President.
