Bush Speech yesterday

Extract from same:

Working with a fine coalition, our military went to Afghanistan, destroyed the training camps of al Qaeda, and put the Taliban out of business forever.

Report from Afghanistan about taliban
Taliban still recruiting

OK, so we may (evidence not withstanding) be winning the war in afghanistan, but are we now losing the war on drugs (coming from afghanistan)?
Opium production on the rise

are we now losing the war on drugs

Were we *ever* winning the "war" on drugs (which in reality has always been a war on US citizens).

I'm still waiting to be shown WMD.

That's like asking to be shown a man with a 15 inch penis. You know they exist, but out of 250 million Americans (or a few thousand square miles of bunkers), they ain't easy to find.

No. But we needed a "war on terrorism" as an excuse to further erode civil liberties, because people were no longer accepting the "war on drugs" as an excuse.

In case you missed it we needed a war on terrorism because a group of scumbag terrorists killed 3000 people (primarily American citizens) on 911.

brad · #9 11-25-2003, 07:37 PM

im being totally serious

fbi admitted 'hijackers' all used aliases.

admitted 'no paper trail' on hijackers.

bottom line: we dont know what the [censored] happened.

p.s. invasion of afgan planned pre 911

No, I did not miss it. Yes, we needed to go into Afghanistan and root out Al Queda and the Taliban. (Which Bush and Company did a half-assed job of.) No, we did not need the Patriot act. We do not need to give the government the power to imprison American citizens without due process because somebody in the administration says they're "enemy combatants" and we certainly didn't need an invasion and occupation of Iraq which will likely end with America pulling out and the Baath Party (if not Sadaam Hussein himself) returning to power.

I'm going to admit to someting I'm now rather ashamed of. I voted for Bush. It is not a mistake I will repeat, though.
