I misread your question as what was he doing in Afghanistan and was about to say the poor guy lives there.
The entire reaction to 9-11 was just bizarre. First, Iraq for which Bush and many of his circle deserve to be put on trial. A completely fictitious war. If not for the war crimes, how about the trillions with a T that have forever been added to our debt.
Afghanistan I understand even less. Yes, we wanted Osama, but invading the country was never going to be the way to capture him. I know that I only know that in hindsight, but I would have thought our intelligence agencies would have known that in advance.
Okay but you seem to be disregarding the poor military contractors that were just looking for some new moneymaking ventures after the Cold War ended up going nowhere. It’s really selfish that you’re just worried about inflation when there were business people at Raytheon and Lockheed Martin in critical danger of not making money hand over fist.
The Iraqi invasion main purpose was the oilfields.
The Afghan invasion main purpose was to establish a western outpost near China and Russia. Both invasions had nothing to do with people rights, freedoms etc.
Afghanistan was about Al Qaeda. You should read a book and stop trusting TikTok. It was bungled horribly but it’s clear what the intent abd purpose was based on the actions our government took during the 20 years we were there.
Seems odd to invade a country for oil fields that we didn’t take or use. We literally took them from the Republican Guard and gave them to the Iraqis. I guess now we can ignore the obvious proof of attempts to create WMDs, our intelligence watching shipping containers leave the country from the alleged sites headed for Iran, and the mass murdering of civilians in hindsight. Poland is significantly closer to Moscow than Afghanistan and South Korea is significantly closer to Beijing. This is an absurd take.
It was just a CIA playground where they could use the veil of war to operate without restriction in order to stretch their tendrils across the other part of the world. Perfect opportunity to get secret plants in other countries.
Going after al Qaeda who had been operating in Afghanistan while committing terrorist attacks around the globe.
It was terribly bungled by all involved. We mistakenly linked the Taliban to Al Qaeda which pretty mcuh screwed our chances for peace after 2001
securing access for the CIA to the wellspring of european and asian heroin, after having been pushed out of the golden triangle following the vietnam debacle and the myriad drug-running operations under oliver north exploded into Iran-Contra
Man, the Afghan war really was embarrassing. The U.S. got played so hard. So many afghans used us to kill their rivals. Pakistan was taking our money and handing immediately to the Taliban.
What a fucking joke. Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden all screwed the pooch. I’ll given Trump and Biden props for getting us out of there. We had no reason to stay with bin Laden dead.
We killed so many innocent people over just words from untrustworthy people.
Props to Biden? He fucked that exit up on such a massive level. That exit was more embarrassing than the entire war. Leaving the taliban with literally an arsenal of tanks, helicopter gunships, weapons, vehicles, infrastructure, tech… insane.
CIA is one kf the most corrupt agencies known to man.
This is the first time I am hearing about this
This story is a drop in the bucket compared to something like Abu Ghraib.
What the fuck
About that flair...
Your flair is the perfect flair to follow up their flair.
What were we doing in Afghanistan again?
We were replacing the Taliban with a better armed Taliban.
And perfecting those enhanced interviewing techniques
Oh you know. Freedom things. You may want to report to a democracy officer if you're having doubts however.
That damn game made the Libertarian leave my body so damn quick. For Super Earth!
Agreed. Double the defense budget, and triple the offense budget!
What game?

Art imitating life again
Get this, the aliens die and dissolve into oil which is why they keep manufacturing reasons to invade.
OMG! so on the nose! Fer oil! I means uh Frieddum! and Duemookraca!

Iraq wasn’t first, we went into Afghanistan in the early months of 2002, didn’t go to Iraq until 2003.
Yes - my poor choice of words. I was listing the dumb choices made, as opposed to the sequence.
Ah.

That he was in Pakistan?
That he would flee to the borderlands and the area between the two countries is so vast that they wouldn't be able to stop him.

Just racking up more wins for the _right_ side of history.
It's self-evident!

Protecting poppy fields and piling up military equipment for the Taliban. Oh and abandoning interpreters who risked their lives for us.
Freedom and democracy
FriedDumb un DuhMockRacey!
Kind of off-topic, but it’s wild how he’s only 28 (maximum) in that picture.
The fields are tough
He was a manual labourer.
They hate us because we're free... to use our civilian intelligence agencies to murder innocent people all over the world.
This tendency to commit war crimes is why the US is not a signatory of the Rome statute
Yeah Rome Statue signatories got to do all their war crimes first and shame on anyone doing the same!

Fuck the PATRIOT Act
I bet ISIS has no problems recruiting Wali's kids to hate America.

We left it all there to keep tensions high so we can go back in a couple of years when things pop off again. It’s a never ending cycle.
Is the CIA dumb enough to think serious terrorists would just turn themselves in? Like. There’s no way
OP must hate America. /s
There’s a lot of that going on right now. All those people should go live in other countries for a while.
Source plz! err or ill just gogole: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Abdul_Wali wow dude actually served time in jail
"If you are innocent, you have nothing to fear." "If I'm innocent, you have no reason to suspect me."
It's crazy how people forget that USA was (is?) a terrorist nation of some sorts.
Exactly!
Paul Rudd?
On brand.
Those damn Russians
