That was also Pakistan and look how pissed off Republicans were when Obama sent special forces into Pakistan to kill bin Laden.

That episode of Republican outrage should have been enough for every American to know Republicans are traitors.

The Afghan war was never about getting bin Laden it was so oil companies could get the unicol gas oil pipeline through Afghanistan.

Republicans hated that Obama got bin Laden because it meant US troops could wrap up the war.. With bin Laden dead there was no more bogeyman..

Republicans want a continuous supply of US troops in Afghanistan and the ME to protect oil..

It's why every Republican since Reagan has tried to stir shit in the ME..

They were scared shitless Russia was gonna take over Afghanistan in the 80s so since then it's been stir the pot to start a new war to keep Russia out.
