In 2001, the #Taliban offered to hand over Osama bin laden to the USA, but Bush's presidency rejected the offer? Instead, they started bombing #Afghanistan. The majority of those who committed the 9/11 attack are Saudis, not the Taliban. Why attack the Taliban? Why Afghanistan?
2.A US soldier mentioned that 2ce his unit came across bin-laden convoy. They could've taken him out, but there was an order to let him go. And u wonder y it "took" a whole US 8yrs to get one man? The media also made it look like he was difficult to pick up. It took Obama <6mths.
3. Now,20yrs later, thousands 've been killed on both sides for nothing. A report on U.S. military deaths estimated 7,057 service members 've died during military operations since 9/11, while suicides among active-duty personnel & veterans of those conflicts have reached 30,177.
4. They claim they've been training Afghan soldiers for year's yet within 2 weeks the Taliban took over. I trust @HQNigerianArmy sha. Imagine what they can do if they are US trained for year's consecutively. Woe betie any terrorist group in this country.
5. Sincerely, this playbook of invading countries to steal their resources under the guise of #humanrights abuses or to install the "American image" of democracy needs to stop. Democracy can't work for everyone. People are different, with different orientation or beliefs.
6. Talking about #HumanRightsViolations. How exactly has saner climes been treating pple of color in their countries, especially blacks for decades? Or they don't have human rights too?? Last last...the world now knows invading Afghanistan wasn't about Al-Queda terrorists at all.
