That's absolutely untrue.

The papers authorising war in Afghanistan were on the President's desk on the 10th September 2001, waiting to be signed. This is completely documented and in the public domain.

The war had nothing to do with 9/11. It was completely pre-planned. The Taliban were promised a "carpet of gold or a carpet of bombs" if they didn't cooperate with the pipeline project. They didn't cooperate.

I could say a lot more -- especially about 9/11 -- but this isn't the site for it.

Some people just wont open their eyes. It hurts too much.
