Re: You've missed the moral high ground.

The only reason we were involved is that we want the oil.

So, Afghanistan is a major oil producer?

And don't try telling me that we're there to help the Afghan people. Where were we last year? Do you think they didn't stone women last year?

Totally beside the point, fact remains we removed a pimple on the ass of the world.

We knew about how they were treating their people years ago. We did nothing.

Yes, the U.S. was busy listening to moral authorities like you. Hopefully the U.S. has gotten over it.

Bzzzzzt! Wrong answer. Yes, we did something to help some people. But >WHY< we did it is the issue. Remember, we were >SUPPORTING< the Taliban before. And we didn't give a FUCK about the Afghan people before the attacks.

We're in it for the oil.

That is the >WHOLE< point.

Yes, the U.S. was busy listening to moral authorities like you. Hopefully the U.S. has gotten over it.

Really? So we've reduced our dependance upon their oil?

Ohhhh, I don't think we have.

Was that the best insult you could come up with? Maybe I should give you more time?

I really love the way you ill-educated fascists try to elude responsibility.

Remember what I've posted before.
Step#1: Reduce our oil imports from that region by 1/20'th each year for 20 years.

Once we've done that, you and your fascist buddies can make all the claims you want.
