Good post SeniorGeek,I don't think th
Should we surrender to the Terrorist?
You mean the local domestic Iraq Terrorist who poses no threat to US borders.They only pose a threat to OUR soldiers because our Rep. leadership keeps them there.
Are we even fighting the right Terrorist?
Have we given up on Osama?Have'nt we de-funded our troops in Afganistan/Pakistian border?
Should'nt our efforts be targeting Int'l Terrorist Groups who pose a threat to Europe and t
So you mean we should be looking for Fallah Nassr of the Abu Shemshi cell? I know you know who he is that nobody we caught with 500000 in US currency, recordings of the NY subway system and the names of the cell members and their US cell phone numbers. No wait that guy was in Iraq.
Maybe you meant that we should be looking for Sadoon Abid a senior Al-Quaidia commander? No wait sorry that guy was caught in Iraq also.
Maybe you think that the Mehida militia is a bunch of great guys doing really groovy things in the middle east. I only mention them because 1) they were lots of trouble before 9-11 2)you guessed it they are in Iraq 3) the top guys are fairly well trained and funded and 4) they are shia so they wouldnt be Al-Quaidia (just because I feel like there is more to this war than Osama)
I could go on but you can see that I of course feel that we are fighting a global war on terrorism and sadly Osama as you say is not the only bad guy.
It would be great if we were all living in peace but that is not the way it is. I for one do not think it is our fault terrorists are in Iraq like it seemed that you would imply. We could all point fingers as to why we ended up in Iraq. I will not do that because it does not change anything and anyone can make the case that we should have gone in years before or waited even longer and let the situation get worse before we did the right thing.
Since your guestion is are we fighting the right terrorists it seems obvisious that we are and thanks for pointing that out. Or maybe you were saying that we are fighting the wrong terrorists ? Either way I for one am sure glad no more attacks have happened on our soil since that horrible day. I may be the only one here who does not care where they came from or where we ended up taking them on as long as it never happens here. If you know what a soft target is look around and you may begin to understand why I would feel this way.
I really do not care if you guys think that you will be supporting the troops or not if our leaders make them surrender to the terrorists or as you seem to think the really misunderstood people in some country we decided to attack and occupy for whatever your reason of the day is. I just jumped on here a couple of months ago trying to understand why you guys thought the way you do. I am still not sure why but it is entertaining trying to understand some of you.
Oh yes you are partly right about one thing one of the many reasons the president laid out to go to war in Iraq was because they had WMD and we could not take the chance of them handing them over to a terrorist organization. While some of you on here seem to always want to point out the failures of men and women over there by not finding all the
WMD's that we know were over there. We found some but in a way I can understand your fustration there should not be room for error here because of the damage even one round can do if used properly. Just look at it as a little bonus when Osama says Iraq is the central front in his actions against the West we can get him to use his resousces over there instead of here.
And since you think that there is not enough funding going to Afghanistan and funding starts in the US House maybe you could start a campaign to have them send more money to that front. Do not be suprised if they seem shocked to learn that that front is de funded as you say.
One final note it looks like congress may be finally getting the hint and funding our troops at least for a little while longer.
You guys and gals have a great day!!!
