Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai reminds us from a presser with the President:

Karzai, whose country is facing an increase in terror after the Taliban were defeated in late 2001, interjected to offer a similar plea.

“Terrorism was hurting us way before Iraq or September 11 … These extremist forces were killing people in Afghanistan for years, closing schools, burning mosques, killing children, uprooting vineyards,” Karzai said. “They came to America on September 11, but they were attacking you before September 11 in other parts of the world. We are a witness in Afghanistan.

“Do you forget people jumping off the 80th floor or 70th floor when the planes hit them? Can you imagine what it will be for a man or woman to jump from that high?” Karzai asked recalling some of the more shocking scenes from the World Trade Center bombing. “How do we get rid of them? … Should we wait for them to come and kill us again?” 

Odd that another country’s president remembers what happened on 9/11 better than the idiots in this country that want to “cut-n-run” do.
