Afghans who died as result of our intervention, and couldn't give a rat's ass about OBL, therefore died for nothing.

Are the Taliban miserable muslim scumbags? Yes. So are the bastards we support.
Except we did more than that. We built roads and schools and cell phone towers. The afghans today have it much better than the afghans of 14 years ago.
We poured 10 metric fucktons of money down a rathole so douchebags like you could rant and rave about federal spending. Sometimes, Woodie, your stupidity reaches alarming levels.
