The more I look back to the Dubya era - the more I am sort of amazed that in 2008 a super-militaristic GOP ghoul (or an equivalent dem ghoul) didn't become president. Drone strikes? Why bother? Just kill 'em all.
If Obama had never existed and Trump announced his campaign for president (either as a republican or dem) in 2007 could he have won?
In retrospect - Obama was a black swan who appeared and forced reality to go in a different direction from where the US was likely headed.
They ran out of space. Saddam Hussein stuff is in the lowest level in the 9/11 Commemoration Area — Sponsored by Saddam Hussein™ featuring a food court, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, billiards, big screen tvs, and cleric approved video games.
Didn't they offer to turn over bin Laden or something? But the US and Europe basically get to define words to mean whatever they want anyways :shrug-outta-hecks:
The US military didn't tip off the Pakistan government about the mission to kill bin Laden on Pakistan soil because several Pakistan officials are friendly with the Taliban, and knowledgeably let bin Laden live in peace in his compound.
The Taliban isn't really "terror" is it? Just an extremely reactionary group.
They sheltered Osama bin Laden, so they got the tag.
Of course it was Pakistan where they found him hiding.
I love how Bin Laden's compound was a few miles away from what the US media called Pakistan's West Point.
Yet the fever dreams about where he was hiding were so different. In this example - he's like a James Bond villain hiding in a super-duper entirely impossible bunker

I don't see the Saddam Hussein indicator anywhere.

Yes, multiple times both before and after 9/11. Bush didn't give a fuck and only wanted a war.
