Quote:If they really wanted to kill or capture bin Laden, pretty much yeah. Did you notice how unsuccessful the whole regime change thing was in actually killing or capturing bin Laden?
Bin Laden is dead.
Quote:Do you reckon the US officials who believe refusing to negotiate with the taliban was a "missed opportunity" in terms of closing down bin Laden - might have been on to something?
Not sure what they might have been on to. Not even you can suggest an agreement that both the Taliban and the US would have agreed to, even if we are willing to overlook how evil the taliban were.
Quote:We should stop supporting the Saudis because they are committing war crimes in Yemen, as well as financing and supporting actual terrorists.

Quote:I believe once upon a time you would have agreed with such a notion.
I might still do. It just seems a bit hypocritical against your support for the Taliban.
