    The Taliban-led Afghanistan was closer allies with Al Qaeda than Iraq for sure, but invading Afghanistan was also a bit of a stretch. Sure, the Taliban was harboring and supporting terrorists, but so were Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and probably at least a half dozen other countries.

    Bush is a war criminal, and while they invented the entire connection to Iraq, his administration did “exaggerate” the justifications for invading Afghanistan as well.
