It is simply amazing that the president of a foreign country has to remind lefties what happened slightly over five years ago and what it means:
PRESIDENT KARZAI: Ma'am, before I go to remarks by my brother, President Musharraf, terrorism was hurting us way before Iraq or September 11th. The President mentioned some examples of it. These extremist forces were killing people in Afghanistan and around for years, closing schools, burning mosques, killing children, uprooting vineyards, with vine trees, grapes hanging on them, forcing populations to poverty and misery.
They came to America on September 11th, but they were attacking you before September 11th in other parts of the world. We are a witness in Afghanistan to what they are and how they can hurt. You are a witness in New York. Do you forget people jumping off the 80th floor or 70th floor when the planes hit them? Can you imagine what it will be for a man or a woman to jump off that high? Who did that? And where are they now? And how do we fight them, how do we get rid of them, other than going after them? Should we wait for them to come and kill us again? That's why we need more action around the world, in Afghanistan and elsewhere, to get them defeated — extremism, their allies, terrorists and the like.
Nuff said.
Hot Air has the video.
Karzai should speak at the next Republican National Convention.
Good post.
He is good. And that wouldn’t be a bad idea.
What? We were attacked before Sept 11th? What the heck are you talking about? The media hasn’t said that. They haven’t reported that at all. They only attacked because Bush wanted free oil for his companies, right? Geez. Who do you think you’re trying to fool here?
I couldn’t believe it either.
