Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

The utter phoniness of the U.S. demanding over, and over, and over, and over, again, ad finitum, that the Taliban guarantee that Afghanistan be free of terrorists is belied by the fact that we've been there for 18 years, with as many as 100,000 troops on the ground, and yet, Afghanistan today is teeming with Islamic State and Dasesh fighters. So, if we can't keep them out, how do we expect the Taliban to do it?

And why does it even matter? Afghanistan is so remote, so primitive, and so far away from the United States, that what could anybody there do to attack the United States? They could jabber about it, but that's about it. Jabbering and doing are two different things. 

And even if you could monitor every cave and canyon in Afghanistan and know with certainty that no terrorists abound there, how is that going to make us safe when there are 194 other countries in the world? 

It's all just spin. It is face-saving. It is just an attempt to justify having launched our monstrous war of terror against Afghanistan in the first place. And for that, more Americans have to die? I tell you that if I had to choose between letting all of Afghanistan be a haven for terrorists from the Iran border to the Pakistan border or losing one more American soldier, I would say, "Let the terrorists have it." They can't do anything to us from over there. It is just a dastardly attempt to justify the heinous war and the official story of 9/11. Oh, what we have done, and oh, what we have wrought.
