[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 250919, member: 8259"] What I am saying and have been saying for quite some time now is very simple. Al Queada used Afghanistan as their training grounds and their main headquarters for lack of a better term. In very early October of 2001 with less than 300 Americans on the ground we toppled the taliban government. This happened very quickly. At this time senior leadership from Al Queada fled to other countries to set up shop. One of these countries was in fact Iraq. By early November of 2001 there were reports of Zarqawi in Iraq. I know this does not fit what you want to believe from watching the news. But as someone with relative browncafe fame once said thats a fact jack. Believe me if you think I want to take an aspirin a day to cure this terminal cancer you do not understand me in the least. I have said on here many times we should hunt Al Queada wherever they hide. I think as a country we should have a strategy in how we go about it. We do not have the manpower to occupy every country in the world nor should we. I know many people on here want to think that we just let Al Queada run wild in Afghanistan. Nothing could be farther from the truth. There is however a lack of understanding in the difference in the ways we are fighting in each country. Look at the types of units in Afghanistan. (20thSFG, 3rd SFG, 10th mountain,75th ranger) If you do not understand what these guys do does not mean that nothing is happening. I would not be concerned with this strength the taliban are showing. These guys pick up their AK's every spring and try to put up a little fight. It was predicted by the news and some politicians that they would put up a major offensive this summer against us. This really did not happen. Do you really think anyone would use nukes? Listen to the antiwar crowd and watch how the politicians are running now. How bad would it be if we used nukes? There is more to fighting a war than sometimes meets the eye. I am not taking a shot at you. I am just saying that I am willing to fight Al Queada wherever they are. If you have a government with chemical weapons that openly works with Al Queada I am all for moving them to the top of the list. In closing the way our leaders decided to fight the war in Afghanistan had positives and negatives. It has been effective in disrupting Al Queada. It has avoided the mess the Soviet army was trapped in. It did allow some of the enemies to escape to other countries. I base most of what I say on the war on personal experience or that of good friends. [/QUOTE]
