    I love the implication that the Taliban was responsible for 9/11, despite none of the hijackers having been from Afghanistan, nor having Taliban ties. Funny, also, how we started talking about pulling out after big pharma switched from opioids to chinese painkillers. Purely coincidental, I'm sure.

    @@caterpillaremoji4249 as per the miraculously Undamaged passports recovered from the crash, the identities place the hijackers’ origins in a couple different middle eastern and North African countries, none of which are Afghanistan. And that’s assuming that the passports, which somehow survived a fire strong enough to melt steel beams, were not planted evidence. Which would definitely have some seriously dire implications.

    Do you not know your history, Barry, or do you just enjoy making stuff up or following someone else’s conspiracy theories? Osama Bin Laden and his gang were hiding out in Afghanistan after being drawn there to support their fight against the Soviets. People like you love to lurk in the dark places of the internet.

    @@barrymcballs9031 - although I’m sure believing in conspiracy theories makes you feel that you have some secret knowledge that the rest of us are to inferior to understand, let me enlighten you further. Over 90% of Big Pharma are located in one state, New Jersey. That does not promise enough of a political reward to protect with the wealth of the nation to fund a war over. In fact, it puts the US pharmaceutical industry in a position of being a convenient target to rail against because one would only risk offending constituents of only one state. There is no political nor financial reward in that. Much less spending trillions of dollars in a war of several years. Yet continuing a war in the so called “noble cause” of democratizing some poor backwards country makes us all get the warm fuzzies. So once again Barry, you have proven you come from the shallow end of the gene pool. But keep trying.
