I caught that too. I suspect he thinks that Afghanistan was an oil related war because the majority of the hijackers were Saudis. It’s a bit of a stretch.

Wait for it. We’ll be told shortly that the war in Afghanistan is a war for lithium. Lithium is needed for lightweight batteries, which are needed for electric cars. And electric cars are Ersatz oil. So in the final analysis, we’ll be told, the war in Afghanistan amounts to a war for oil.
