zach61 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 04:01 PM) How about in 1996, when the Taliban took over and many of the major al Qaeda figures lived with them? What does that have to do with '93? And didn't we put the Taliban in power there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSox Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 QUOTE(zach61 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 03:01 PM) What does that have to do with '93? 1993 - Failed WTC bombing 1996 - Large numbers of al Qaeda move in with Taliban. Most of the key figures all live in one general area now. Great time to attack, huh? Or, we could've waited until the Khobar Towers or U.S.S. Cole bombings. They were there until 2001! And didn't we put the Taliban in power there? No, the Soviets did - they're the ones who occupied the country and destabilized the hell out of it.

Rex Kickass Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The taliban began to establish power in Afghanistan 6 years after the Soviets left. Many of the Taliban were in fact involved with the US backed Mujahadin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
