Tesco, your articles show that the US military had plans drawn up prior to 9/11 to attack Afganistan. That is not exactly an earth shattering revelation. And it's certainly not nearaly the same thing as saying the Taleban was going to be overthrown. There is a big difference between planning something and doing it. And aiding the Northern Alliance and sending in covert teams to try and find Bin Laden are not the same thing as overthrowing the Taleban. And none of this even discusses the implications of the Massud assassination, which would have been a devastating blow to the anti-taleban efforts if 9/11 had not happened.
If the truth is told there are probably plans in some pentagon file cabinet for the military invasion of Quebec. And your generals probably still have plans around somewhere for the recapture of Fort Detroit.
That's what generals do in peace time, they plan things. Most of them never happen thankfully. But also it's a very good thing that they prepare. That's what we pay them to do afterall.
