That was the day the war was lost. Appeasement to Mecca and the wrong country being bombed. It should have been Saudi Arabia.
Pakistan and SA should have been bombed to hell. Pakistan’s ISI chief was in DC on 9/11. Israeli PM was in India on 9/11, both called GWB. Indian PM Offered GWB flight path over India to bomb Pakistan. GWB declined.
Might as well have let Saddam’s tanks roll into Riyadh back in 1991.
