29. Actually, I'm blaming both the Bush 41 AND Bush 43 Administrations for this disgusting bahavior

It was under George H.W. Bush that the Taliban were wined and dined and were sold weapons which were later used against American forces.

Are you seriously defending the prior administration,s ties to the Bin Laden family and to the Taliban?

In 2002, The Taliban in Afghanistan could have been "taken out" entirely by George W. Bush, but were not
.
Bin Laden and AlQaeda could have been "taken out" at Tora Bora, where the entire Al Qaeda top command, inuding Bin Laden, were totally surrounded by Coalition forces, but were ordered to fall back and go to Iraq....allowing Bin Laden & the entire senior staff of AlQaeda to escape

If not for the actions of both Bush 41 & Bush 43, the Taliban would be an extinct organization now, and those beheadings of the 2 children would not have occurred.

What are you, a Bush Crime Family loyalist?
