The Circular Logic of Fighting the War in Afghanistan

Follow Me on Twitter     Message Dean Hartwell
Why do we have troops in Afghanistan?

We have to stop Al Qaeda.

Why do we have to stop Al Qaeda?

They are terrorists who attacked us on 9/11.

Where is the proof they attacked us on 9/11?

It is in the 9/11 Report.

Why should I believe the 9/11 Report?

It is official.

If it is official, does that mean it is necessarily accurate?

No, but it is.

Then why does the 9/11 Report omit mention of Building 7 and the simulation exercises?

The Committee thought them irrelevant.

Why does it accuse by name at least seven "suicide hijackers who are still alive today?

These hijackers may have used false names.

So these "hijackers, thought to be Al Qaeda, may really have come from somewhere else?

Yes.

So we may be attacking the wrong people?

Yes.

So why don't we leave?

We have to stay there and drive out the Taliban.

Why do we have to do that?

They oppress women.

Don't the Saudis and other regimes we support do that?

Yes.

So why attack the Taliban?

They harbored Osama bin Laden.

So what?

Bin Laden directed the attacks on 9/11.

How do you know that?

He confessed.

When?

He said he did it on the tapes we have seen over the years.

How do you know it was bin Laden?

It looked like him and the experts in the government said it was him.

If it was bin Laden, why does his appearance and voice change from tape to tape?

He is a master of disguise.

Why in one video does he wear jewelry, which he had previously said men should not wear?

He's a con artist.

Why have Arabic translators said that the person in the videos never confesses to 9/11?

They are bought off.

Who bought them off?

Conspiracy theorists did.

Which conspiracy theorists " the ones who say bin Laden conspired with Al Qaeda?

No.

Which ones?

The ones that say our government acted to attack the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Why would they make up a conspiracy?

They want to convince people to get our troops out of Afghanistan.

Why do we have troops in Afghanistan?
