“I decided to go and meet the Taliban in the spring of 1999, two years before the 9/11 attacks. Most of us, including me, didn’t know much about the Taliban back then, nor did we want to. A decade earlier, the CIA funded and trained Muslim rebels to kick the Soviets out of Afghanistan after ten years of occupation. That made America happy — the Soviet Union defeated! Humiliated! Our pundits called it “their Vietnam!“ like we had actually learned a single damn lesson from Vietnam. As for what was left of Afghanistan, well, who friggin’ cared?”

How many he used 'I' than 'we'
Seems to me the big winners were the defense contractors…
The life the truth and the way
Bin Laden got everything he wanted. Beyond his wildest dreams. The growing xenophobia has damaged the US so badly that not only the US is tearing itself apart, but Europe and Britain too.
Moore has to be the dummest person in the world
How was 300 million dollars spent? What is the break down of the expenses? I doubt very much of it went to Afghanistan?
Except the bit about being dead
The CIA and US military has always been a strategic f**k-up. They create the problems then step up to solve them and f**k it up. It's all about the money. Chaos is a profitable business. Innocent people die and suffer and nothing gets better. The money flows.
He said he would reduce America to a shadow of itself – he succeeded
Macklemore doesn't seem to understand Donald Trump getting lead us to this almost Civil War he held it back for 4 years we would have already seen conflict if Hillary had gotten into the White House in 2016
There was a quote from a former marine on the Netflix special turning point. He said serving in Afghanistan taught him that the US is the land of freedom, but it’s the land of “the freedom to pretend.” It’s the freedom to pretend the outside world doesn’t exist. The freedom to pretend that they’re a world leader and freedom fighters. Man, that quote about having “the freedom to pretend” really sticks with me.
Ignorance to fear to hate to violence. Michael, you are absolutely correct.
I am always guaranteed to be amazed at how many Ads Youtube plays now
i always like hearing Mike's perspectives…..he has something different and insightful to say all the time
Of course the anti America piece of trash Michael Moore is happy about what happened in Afghanistan….
If that oil was soy Moore would be overjoyed, it looks like that's all he eats.
Now USA media is not even covering the Northern Alliance resistance forces who are being bombarded by Pakistani AirForce, who have absolutely no business interfering in Afghanistan’s business, it’s independence. Something that has been pointed out by media in France, Iran, Qatar, India, Australia and many more. BTW the Northern Alliance are the same people who helped the USA troops against Taliban. USA is not even showing support to them so forget about sending them military and humanitarian support. The Taliban has desecrated Ahmad Shah Massoud’s grave. The Lion of Panjshir who fought besides USA against the Soviet Union, Taliban and for Afghanistan like a true patriot. Instead of all these good deeds that USA could have done without sending troops to Afghanistan, USA chose to legitimise Taliban and gave Pakistan’s digressions a free pass. Well done! Go celebrate chaos and unending conflict.
The unocal pipeline was canceled in 1998 you idiots

George w bush to the press ; we don't know where osb is
Maybe they are still looking for osb
Hey jank. Where’s the book you were gonna write? Loser
Why didn’t they name this video “George Bush arranged negotiations with the Taliban” if they wanted a lot of people to watch this video like they did the Hillary Clinton one?
Mike shut up you told a lie about Roger and me aka you so stop listening
Michael shouldn't even be talking to that disgusting pro war sow Kasparian.
The video was 9 minutes and 11 seconds long.
Saints dont die.
Damn dude that was kinda deep
Ana, the US armed Hekmatyar's clique, not the Taliban. Not all of those who fought the Soviets would end up being the Taliban.
