U.S. Officials Debate Speeding Afghan Pullout

Our attack and occupation of Afghanistan had nothing to do with 9/11.   

When 15 of the hijackers were Saudi nationals, one Egyptian, one Lebanese and 2 from the UAE and, as two of the senators who sat on the 9/11 Commission have come forward recently under oath about the Saudi royals involvement and support, the proper response to 9/11 would have been to take out the House of Saud.  

This is the reason we attacked Afghanistan.

It's difficult for many of us to comprehend this, but the US government does not see its job as to protect American citizens. As someone who has lost someone in an act of terrorism, I can tell you firsthand that the government does not react or respond to terror attacks unless they interfere with commerce. Until terror attacks cut into the rich's ability to make obscene profits. When terror attacks cause people to stop flying, stop shopping, then the government will act.  But in a way where more money can be made for phat cats, and not in a way that guarantees our Constitutional rights.  

The government and the military exist to protect transnational corporations. And Obama has signed on to that.  It's a win-win with everybody making loads of money, except us.  Except We the People.  It's not making us safe or even safer (it's actually putting us in greater danger), and we're going broke in the process.
