For me, the idea was to go get UBL in Afghanistan and since the Taliban were protecting and giving UBL safe haven, we sided with the Northern Alliance. I firmly believe had the Taliban handed over UBL, we never would have got involved in Afghanistan. Backing the Northern Alliance against the Taliban was the quickest way to get at UBL.

But UBL fled to the Pakistani Mountains with the Pakistani ISI protecting and helping him.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
