Dear Secretary Clinton:

[onecaliberal]

The United States was NEVER attacked by Afghanistan. We were attacked by Saudi Arabia. Last I checked the official story says the 19 hijackers were Saudi.

1. The amount of blood on her hands is astonishing.... she is a neocon eom

[JaneyVee]

4. I didn't hide you.... move on

[Renew Deal]

3. You know Sanders voted for it right?

[Leftyforever]

6. Afghanistan yes.. the rest NO... do some homework then we can talk

[AzDar]

30. ...and she's itching for more!

[brooklynite]

5. Sanders voted to send troops to Afghanistan right?

More dripping blood?

[Leftyforever]

7. Clintonistas...please do your homework on the coups, regime changes and such under hrc resume... to

compare sanders and hrc in this area is a losing battle

[leftofcool]

26. Correct! Sanders has absolutely no foreign policy chops!

That is why he will never be President.

[Dustlawyer]

28. He has been looking out for the victims of all of these wars, the Veterans.

He knows the true costs of these debacles in the ME!

[Scootaloo]

29. Wrecking countries and walking away is "foreign policy chops"?

What, are you getting advice from Henry Kissengooooh it makes sense now.

The amount of chutzpah Hillary showed, to blame Baghdad for the state Iraq is in! Oh my god.

[AzDar]

31. Most of HRC's Foreign Policy decisions were disastrous...which is why she will never be POTUS...

[Scuba]

34. ^^ This right here ^^

[JaneyVee]

8. And Libya and Syria.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

9. Yes - terrorism is bad bla bla bla

Reality - our own police have killed more of us in the last twenty
Terrorism is a problem we will deal with

Sanders is correct - Jobs - healthcare - banking - ENVIRONMENT
These are the issues that will have more direct impact on us


WAR WAR WAR - it is not the answer - It is not even the most important question

10. Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan at the time. nt

[onecaliberal]

11. Al Queda is and was in many places. That has nothing to do with what she said.

[Sparkly]

14. That's kind of splitting hairs.

The government of Afghanistan was complicit. We worked with the "Northern Alliance" who were fighting against the Taliban. At the time, the people who attacked us were not "in many places" -- they were in Afghanistan. Had we committed to securing a 10-mile radius in Tora Bora, we could have had Bin Laden early on. (That was TOO much reliance on any who said "I'm on your side.&quot

[onecaliberal]

16. Bush rejected the extra troops to secure

Toes bora, he essentially let bin laden go.

[NuclearDem]

12. The US wasn't attacked by Saudi Arabia either.

The US was attacked by a terrorist group being sheltered by the Taliban in Afghanistan. That group drawing a lot of recruits from the heartland of Wahhabism doesn't equate to Saudi Arabia attacking the US.

[reformist2]

13. Umm, we need to go after the Taliban, Hussein, Qaddafi, ISIS, Assad, and Iran.... ALL AT ONCE!!!

[Thinkingabout]

15. Is this what she said or was it people came out of Afghanistan?

[femmocrat]

18. I thought she said attacked FROM Afghanistan.

Guess we will have to check the transcript later.

[Thinkingabout]

22. The op stated "never attack by Afghanistan", I think we

Are correct whether they were in Afghanistan or lived there.

[davidn3600]

17. Al-Queda attacked us and the Taliban was refusing to arrest and hand over Al-Queda leaders

[onecaliberal]

19. Al Queda funded by Saudi Arabia.

[ConservativeDemocrat]

20. The nation of Saudi Arabia wasn't funding Al Qaida

And it is pure idiocy to think so.

Al Qaida had as its goal the overthrow of Saudi Arabia. Still does, actually.

21. We were attacked by an organization that was based in Afghanistan.

[Doctor_J]

23. she is now a member of the Bush crime family, so lying comes naturally

And watch the du minions lap it up

[Samantha]

24. Okay, your post made me laugh

and I really, really needed to tonight. And you are very correct. Many Saudi billionaires financed the 9/11, but are you sure that number 19 is correct? I know it is a high number, but I am not too sure it is that high, just asking.

Sam

[onecaliberal]

25. Wow, maybe you should READ a little.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijackers_in_the...
... the FBI reported that there were 19 hijackers in all:

[HoneychildMooseMoss]

32. And yet, the BBC reported that many of those suspected hijackers

weren't involved in the hijacking and were actually alive after 9/11.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1559151.stm

I wonder how many of those hijackers' identities were actually people who had been rounded up by Ashcroft in the immediate aftermath of 9/11?

[Samantha]

33. Why the rudeness?

I simply asked the question because I knew there were a lot of Saudi involved, but I thought other nationalities were as well. That is why I asked. A couple of the sources said 15 of the 19 were Saudi; another said 11. This article at the below link lists the nationality of each hijacker, for example:

pilot of plane which hit Pentagon was Saudi Arabian
pilot of plane which hit WTC North Tower was Egyptian
pilot of plane which hit WTC South Tower was from United Arab Emirates
pilot of the the crashed flight in Pennsylvania was Lebanese

http://www.fairus.org/issue/identity-and-immigration-status-of-9-11-terrorists

Looks like the number this source reveals as Saudi is 15.

27. Nope. The Saudis did not attack us.
