Don't you think this already took way too long? Not to mention the enormous opportunity in Afghanistan, 4 years ago?

Of course, its taken way too long. I've never in my life seen anything as inept as the response to 9/11. Then again, I also think the 'Pubs were crazy like a fox. I don't think Boy George cooked up the attack with the help of the Saudi Royal Family, but nothing actually surprises me these days.

I think they had a pretty good idea it was coming but didn't suspect anything of that magnitude..... more on the scale of the Marine barracks in Lebanon.

Then they totally screwed the pooch in Afghanistan by using the warlords as mercenaries, and trusting the Pakistan "allies" to seal the border and clean up the retreating hoards...... instead of giving the haven.

Do you think the weapons we are providing to the Iraqis will end up being used against us, as they were in Afghanistan?

Like what happened with the 2000 Stingers?

No, I think they are already being used against us.

Who was a major supplier of weapons for the Viet Cong during Nam? America.
