I read this before but thanks for reposting it. Why hasn't this been given any play by the press? Has this been debunked? If true, a declaration of war against the nation of Afghanistan is merited! No Question...

I missed it the first time around. Wow. Now, when their ruler says that they took all communication away from him and he couldn't have coordinated the attack, that has to be a lie. How many Commander-in-Chiefs would not have any way to communicate with their troops?

"Pseudo-religious values are being used as a cover to prepare a bridgehead for expansion of militant extremism and separatism far beyond the region's borders," added the statement.Is it just me, or does this remind anyone else of Adolf Hitler? The only difference is that propaganda is not being used to take over territories and increase power -- instead, it's to exact revenge per their fatwa against the U.S.

As a public employee, I am a representative of government. If I were to hold up the Quran and teach it to my class, the state gets sued... not for ME pushing a particular religion, but for the STATE pushing a religion.
Afghanistan has attacked and killed thousands (5000+ confirmed) of our citizens. Declare war now, use bases in India and Israel as starting points, annex their oil fields, and use their homelands as a base of operations for the destruction of all terrorist camps, organizations, and bases, and to exterminate any nation that would give them aid and comfort from this day forward.

My thoughts exactly. We have a confirmed enemy.
To: Sockdolager
Imagine what would happen if it was found out that Rumsfeld was secretly funding a private army that went around the world killing innocent people. I venture a guess that there would not be a country that would not stand against us, and there are countries that would take the opportunity to unleash their weapons of mass destruction with impunity from international scorn.
I don't personally see why the reaction against Afghanistan should be any different.

You really have to wonder about the networks? The same networks that had no difficulties spilling images of napalmed Viet Namese children into our living rooms who now refuse to broadcast images of Americans leaping from falling buildings? Images of scattered body parts covering lower Manhattan? Those networks?

It is actually worse than as you state. The way I see it the Taliban brought in OBL BECAUSE he was the world's leading terorist.
The Taliban had prior knowledge of his activity, and condoned it. They are not only accessories after the fact, but before the fact as well.

This is a UPI article, published prior to the WTC terrorism.
Its credibility is high.
To: Sockdolager
I'm sure glad you reposted this. Hopefully some of the media will see it and run with it. At least, with the new title, it will get more exposure among FReepers who can alert others.
To: Brit Hume and other media lurkers!!
Bump for you all.
