It’s come back to me now. Suddenly remembering discussions my parents were having when I was a kid about how “we almost got Bin Laden but Bush needed to show up Daddy with the 2nd Gulf War”.
Damn, its been a while since someone said that in reference to something I said. I’m old enough now that I can’t get student discounts anymore just based on looks.
it was really stupid the taliban would have handed over bin laden they were just fishing for a bribe by acting reluctant. You have to understand that the taliban didn’t understand that the Americans actually cared about 9/11 having just fought a war with the soviets in which 100,000 to a million or so afghans died you can see why 3000 people dying didn’t to them seem like anything out of the ordinary
Didn’t the US get a UN Security Council resolution to make it “legal” or am I mixing up my Gulf Wars?
Gulf 1 and Afghanistan got it. Iraq got nixed by the Security council, so it was “The Coalition of the Willing”
