re: #250 Dark_Falcon

You don’t remember 2001, do you? Ralphieboy is correct to call Afghanistan an Al Qaeda staging base, because back then that’s what it was. The terror organization was headquartered there and was welcomed by the Taliban government, who used Al Qaeda as a kind of Praetorian Guard to keep their own warlords in line.

Actually, San Diego and Arizona were use as staging grounds for 9/11.
