Reader comment on item: The Afghan War's Dismal End; Blame Bush Too
Submitted by rodney allsworth (Australia), May 30, 2014 at 17:22
Daniel, what else was Bush expected to do after the bombing of the twin towers, NOTHING SHORT OF MILITARY ACTION WOULD HAVE BEEN ACCEPTABLE BY THE US CITIZENS, it started with the twin towers murders, Not Bush.
