Funny, you don't even know how your own public broadcasting network operates. The CBC is run autonomously from the Canadian government. It's very sad your hatred for your public media. I love the CBC's, and PBS's of the world don't have to chase television ratings. Their content is so much better than the corporate media...HANDS DOWN...

because the Taliban protected Al Queera.

we continue to fight them because they insist on being fought. there really is no other reason.

you forget that the Taliban never used to use Al Queera tactics i.e. franchized suicide jihad and ethnic wedges. they fought us straight up like proper Mujahadeen. of course that failed them in the end against a superior force and for a while they backed off and regrouped. now that Al Queera has been forced out of Iraq, many of them have regrouped with the Taliban in remote regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan and now are employing primarily Al Queera tactics.

NATO forces are absolutely no help at all because the individual countries that have their forces in Afghanistan do not allow those forces to engage the enemy they are there mostly for show and humanitarian, construction and training of Afghan forces. we are the few that have open ROE's

So? The Taliban did not attack us on 9/11. Usually, when we want a criminal, we ask for extradition. In this case, why didn't the US with all it's military capabilities drop in special forces on September 12 or 13, cut off the passes into Pakistan, and capture the guy. Instead, Rumsfeld waited 1 month, until he could get control from the CIA over the operation planning and implementation. We're fighting the Taliban, when we should have gotten Al-Qaeda that very week!

we did you idiot. on Sep 20, 2001 we issued an ultimatum to let us into the country and dismantle Bin Laden's training camps and for them to hand over any known terrorist within their command structure. over the next two weeks the Taliban negotiated through several ME countries including Saudi Arabia but those negotiations fell through.

during that time we were mobilizing a two division (18,000 troops and their toys) Joint Task Force from the East coast all the way to Indian Ocean and the Med with orders to stand by once there. that in itself took 1 month and thats hauling serious ass.

Well, when you ask for extradition, usually the other country asks for EVIDENCE before they carry it out.

Ever heard of Division Ready Brigades? These are brigades, companies, or divisions able to deploy within 72 hours, sometimes, in less than 24 hours, anywhere in the world. That's not even counting our special forces capabilities...The fact is, the CIA had initial planning and operational control in Afghanistan, until that control was ceded to Donald Rumsfeld, in a bit of jealous infighting within the administration, during which, the Pentagon failed to assist their CIA colleagues who were already in Afghanistan...for 1 month...

so youre saying the Taliban had no idea they had Al Queera training camps in their country and that those camps were specifically there for the purpose training and organizing international terrorist to bring Jihad to the West for the prior five years?

again you forget (mainly because you reflexively blame your country first without thinking because youre a stupid piece of adolecent shit that doesn't deserve the country you live in and you know it). we were attacked repeatedly by those camps prior to 9/11.

sure but that wasn't going to meet our goals. we were preparing to fight a known, battle hardened and organized Mujahadeen in the mountains of their own backyard. we knew what it was going to take to overthrow the Taliban and set up a new government. Enduring Freedom was just the begining in Afghanistan.

they may have had "operational control" of their people in Afghanistan but they didn't have control of the country. after 9/11 we wanted control of the country. little of that operational control mattered after 9/11.

Nope, never said the Taliban didn't know about Al-Qaeda's War against America. What I am saying is the Taliban themselves were not fighting a war against America. They were still busy just trying to take control of the country. As for your ridiculous "reflexively blaming my country" bullshit of an argument. I am a dissenter. Dissent...hmmm...something this country was founded on? I do it because I love my country! Your dumbass would rather have an authoritarian king than a true democracy, so go fuck yourself...

Yes it would have met our goals. We have those brigades for a reason. You know it, and I know it, the Pentagon should have helped their CIA colleagues already operating inside Afghanistan, but they didn't, because ole' Rummy just had to have control over the operations, and that's that...

I never said they controlled the country or that they should. It shouldn't have been about controlling the country, it should have been about finding and capturing Osama bin Laden, which your King George utterly failed to do.

What the hell are you talking about? You said the CBC is "government run", which clearly, it is not. Sorry that bothers you...
