How do you know the Taliban knew? Even if they did, we still ignored there offer instead of presenting evidence. Here we are 7 years later and bin Laden hasn’t had his day in court. He does deserve his day in court, does he not?
The US did not go to the UN for permission to invade Afghanistan. They just went in. They probably could have got UN permission. The US obviously felt powerful enough to do whatever it wanted. Not to mention the Taliban offered to deliver bin Laden if the US showed evidence bin Laden was responsible for 911.
And those of us that base our decisions of who to elect on qualifications…should stay home on election day.
