Reply #61: The al Qaeda members who attacked us on 9/11 and those who planned that attack

[jenmito]

were based in Afghanistan. They were Saudi CITIZENS but they were in Afghanistan or on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. Bin Laden was supposedly cornered at Tora Bora and Rumsfeld refused to send the special ops needed to get him. That's the story I believe and Obama seems to believe it, too, which is why he thinks it's the right thing to do to concentrate in Afghanistan/Pakistan to get those who attacked us. I know the Taliban is separate from al Qaeda and Obama's team seems to know that, too...at least that only some of the Taliban has anything to do with al Qaeda. Obama wants to engage the Taliban to help us with al Qaeda.
