Daily Kos :: Comments Debunking '59 Deceits in Fahrenheit 9/11'

asdf (none / 0)

these "deceits" i've read so far are really
lame. not the rebuttals mind you....just these
so called "deceits."
if this is the best they can do then i think it
just shows how well this movie was fact-checked
beforehand.
*****
as an aside, I don't believe the reason for going
into Afghanistan had anything to do with the
pipeline...certainly a wonderful side-benefit for
some.... but whatever...

  pipeline ...
  I always took the inclusion of that part of the story was more about how oil considerations limited the focus of BushCO prior to 9/11 ... negotiating w/ the Taliban instead of trying to force them to hand over al Queda members.
  Even after the beginning of the war in Afghanistan, they seemed very happy to just settle for installing a puppet Government in Kabul, rather than stabilizing the whole country.

    yeah...
    I've been wondering about these upcoming
    Afgan elections... are they voting all over
    the country or just in Kabul? How are these
    elections squaring with the clan control of
    the places outside Kabul?
    anyone know?

      They are having a hard time registering voters in So. Afghanistan. So far, last I read they had only registered about 30% of eligible voters, and were way low on women.
