On the day of 9/11 I was watching the footage at a Ruby Tuesday restaurant that had TVs and lots of people. We all watched in horror and varying
emotions.
I heard one of the announcers, I believe it was on CNN, say something like "well I guess we're going into Afghanistan"
I am ONE HUNDRED percent sure of this because I actually made a bit of a spectacle of myself blurting out loudly "Did you guys hear that!!? He said
we're going into Afghanistan. How the Hell do we even know who did this yet, let alone if we're gonna attack..."
A lot of people heard it and we discussed the idea and conspiracy theory stuff for a bit.
Does anyone have this on video/youtube link/anything??
(I'm not asking anyone to take my word for this... let's not bother with attacking me eh? I'm just looking for a video clip.)
Well....the Taliban were particularly BIG news in 2001...in Afghanistan. Their brutal regime, and imposition of severe Islamic 'law' in the regions
they controlled was well covered by media.
Will have to check more of the wayback machine (faulty memory) to see what other conections had been made, in early 2001, about the Islamic extremism,
and WHERE it had found the best foothold...and Al Quaida connections, with the Taliban. "Aid and Comfort", for their Muslim 'borthers'....that
sort of thing....
I have all the footage of that day from ABC, CBS, FOX, CNN, BBC, and NBC.
I'm not even going to begin to sit down and watch it all to help you figure it out, if you pin down the network and maybe some type of time reference
I'll see what I can find.
