If Bush had finished the job in Afghanistan and captured or killed Bin Laden
Edited on Tue Dec-08-09 03:07 PM by berni_mccoy
and killed off the leadership of Al Qaeda at the Battle of Tora Bora in December 2001, then...
1) Would we have a Democratic President today?
2) Would we still be in Afghanistan?
3) Would we have still invaded Iraq?
I know what my answers are to these questions, but I'm curious to see what others here think. Please discuss. Thanks in advance for the discussion and responses.
Hmm... A well thought out and polite post. I am afraid this DUmpmonkie will soon be extinct.
BUT- to answer the question.
1) No.
2) No.
3) Possible.
On to the DUmp:

2. Yes, Yes, and Yes. nt
So, you are saying that even if the Dems had gotten the Presidency in your word in 2008, we'd still be in Afghanistan and in Iraq? Intresting.

Yes 1) Would we have a Democratic President today?
No. There be no reason to stay. 2) Would we still be in Afghanistan?
No. The mob would have been satiated. 3) Would we have still invaded Iraq?

6. Bin Laden is dead and Chimpy had nothing to do with it.
And Al Qaeda is (mostly) a work of fiction. (see my signature)
DUmbass No. 2.
That's all for the moment- but I think this one will take off.

Furthermore, had the Supreme Court not installed Chimpy as pResident, there would have been no "New PERLE Harbor" (not a typo) and therefore, no false reason to invade Afghanistan in the first place.
