Re: BBC forgetful again 📂 Archived Message Posted by Sir Michael Mouse on August 13, 2021, 12:46 pm, in reply to "Re: Taliban taking over. " https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-asia-58197706 'Back then, the US was responding to the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington which killed nearly 3,000 people. Officials identified Islamist militant group al-Qaeda, and its leader Osama Bin Laden, as responsible. Bin Laden was in Afghanistan, under the protection of the Taliban, the Islamists who had been in power since 1996. When the Taliban refused to hand him over, the US intervened militarily, quickly removing the Taliban and vowing to support democracy and eliminate the terrorist threat.' - Only a small point admittedly but the Taliban asked for evidence of Bin Laden's involvement. Never could work out why they didn't hand it over, they had loads of evidence. https://nypost.com/2016/07/15/yes-the-saudi-government-helped-the-911-terrorists/ Message Thread: Taliban taking over. - johnlilburne August 12, 2021, 11:10 pm Re: Taliban taking over. - Tomski August 12, 2021, 11:18 pm Re: BBC forgetful again - Sir Michael Mouse August 13, 2021, 12:46 pm Re: BBC forgetful again - Mark Doran August 13, 2021, 1:50 pm Re: BBC forgetful again - Sir Michael Mouse August 13, 2021, 2:24 pm Re: BBC forgetful again - Mark Doran August 13, 2021, 2:48 pm Re: BBC forgetful again - Sir Michael Mouse August 13, 2021, 3:57 pm Re: Johnson: UK 'can be extremely proud' - Sir Michael Mouse August 13, 2021, 6:43 pm Asking for evidence is lese majeste - Keith-264 August 13, 2021, 9:30 pm Re: Taliban taking over. - Keith-264 August 13, 2021, 9:28 pm Taliban reportedly just 50km from Kabul today - Tomski August 13, 2021, 8:56 pm Re: Taliban reportedly just 50km from Kabul today - Adamski August 14, 2021, 11:23 am Re: Taliban reportedly just 50km from Kabul today - Tomski August 14, 2021, 3:53 pm Interesting video about US trained Afgan army morale - Tomski August 14, 2021, 1:56 am From memory ... - Tomski August 16, 2021, 1:11 am « Index   Searching
