[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 221537, member: 8259"] I was wondering if you thought any of this were true? Do you really think Al Quaida is stronger now? They may be more than a little surprised to learn this. Do you not think that Iraq is a very poor training ground for the terrorists? Every time they stand and fight they die. They are being hunted like animals. Even many local leaders no longer fear these once untouchable terrorists. How does one become identified as a" potential "terrorist? More importantly how does one determine that this magical number is on the rise? I know we are safer now after five years in Iraq. I also know that our military is very capable and we can walk and chew gum at the same time. I also know there are many citizens that do not think we are capable of fighting terrorists wherever they are. I do not care if you think that five percent of the people in Iraq are terrorists or if you only think there are two terrorists in Iraq as long as they are there that is where our military should be hunting them. I also do not care that some people seem to think the word terrorist or the phrase global war on terrorism is offensive to some. I see you think the terrorists want to kill us because we have freed the country of Iraq. I really do not understand how someone could actually think this way but I know that I could not change the way you think about this. Why should I be willing to take the chance that you are wrong? There were terrorists before we invaded Iraq and when we are finished in Iraq there will likely still be terrorists. I also have seen where you think we should leave Iraq so that the federal government can provide more social programs. This would be very dangerous in my opinion. While the federal government may be doing a fair job with national security they have proven time and time again that they do a poor job providing things like health care(VA), emergency responce(FEMA), education, and many other things. I also wonder how are we supposed to know that their fundraising has increased when the democrats do not want us to track their money. [/QUOTE]
