The Taliban-led Afghanistan was closer allies with Al Qaeda than Iraq for sure, but invading Afghanistan was also a bit of a stretch. Sure, the Taliban was harboring and supporting terrorists, but so were Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and probably at least a half dozen other countries.
Bush is a war criminal, and while they invented the entire connection to Iraq, his administration did “exaggerate” the justifications for invading Afghanistan as well.
Look, I have no love for the Taliban, and I agree that they were supporting Al Qaeda. But there was far more evidence pointing to the Saudi royal family. Afghanistan was a convenient scape goat to distract the American people.
Saddam was a bad guy, and the world is better off without him, but he didn’t attack us at all. Bush lying doesn’t make Saddam or the Taliban innocent. They are all bad in their own ways.
It was clear, it was the official story, it was admitted by the Taliban and it was proven by history. There’s really no reason to doubt or spread any doubt on the subject

It was clear the leadership of Al Queda planned 9/11 from Afghanistan and were under the protection of the Taliban
Was it clear? Or was that the official story?
