The Washington DC Al Qaeda Terrorist Cell

Once again I fail to see where Iraq has anything to do with terrorist or Al Qaeda even Bush has said they werent linked together. I think if you want to do something about 9/11 we should be dropping some bombs on Saudi Arabia (where almost all of the terrorist came from) or be firing some people who could have stopped it and didnt (which not one person every lost their job for). I dont know call me a fool but if I had a neighbor whos kids burned down my house I dont think I would go blow up a different neighbors house I would be looking at that neighbor whos kids did it reguardless of how good of a friend he says he is. Obviously if they were such good friends their kids wouldnt be burning down our houses now would they. As far as Saddam ya it was a good thing we got him, after all we helped him get to the top to begin with. But I dont see why we should pick up the pieces and be in the middle of a civil war for decades to come when they could give less than two cents for us. Let them rebuild and fight it out on their own and when the next dictator rises to the top atleast we wont be responsible for putting him in power. Lets worry about our own and those who really did us wrong before we worry about trying to police the world.

This is definitely one way to look at the situation. Now I am starting to actually see news reports that say Iraq is a gathering place for terrorists. These reports shed a whole new like on things in Iraq and show that those who call the War in Iraq a civil war are mistaken. There are way too many people who think that if we leave Iraq that the terrorists will forget all about the US and stay in the Mideast. The democrats are fooling themselves and a lot of Americans into thinking that this is Bush's war and has nothing to do with national security. They are of course mistaken in their assumption.

I am constantly surprised at how many people believe the books and movies which so delight in portraying the usa and the CIA, etc, as great evils and conspiracies.. regularly carrying out evil.. Granted they sold well.. but now 1/3 to 1/2 if not more of the US population itsself believes 'em! I guess when you throw in all that propaganda from enemies, it makes it somehow convincing, especially when our own media and the world media adopts and pushes it too.. Bottom line.. all because they 'hate' the conservative point of view.. you know, restraints on any personal behavior for the sake of society.. I pretty much reckon we've entered the twilight zone and aren't coming out anytime soon. To me Pelosi and Reid are on the frontlines of the America is the bad guy worldview.. Ultimately, I think even they mean well! But as a christian, I just have to marvel at how Israel, christianity and the USA/ still 1/2 christian, is now considered the world's foremost evils.. very tricky that..

We need a president like Abrahnam Lincoln who took Southern Supports in the government and sent then down south. Maybe we should sent the democratic leadership and out spoken critics and send them to iraq or Afganastand and let them see what life is like in Al Queda paradice.

I completely agree with you. Americans need to wake up, and realize that these people want to kill us. As one of the greatest nations in the world our troops should have all the advanced technology, and anything they need. There is no reason our troops should be ill equipped. As far as the other comments as to why in Iraq. Bottom line whether the reason for going there was a lie or not, Sadaam was a tirant. Many, many people suffered under his leadership. The good citizens of Iraq were elated to be freed of his terror. That in itself should be good enough reason. I must say I still don't understand why we have not gotten Osama. I know they say he hides, but he should be first on our list. We need to be watching Iran,Russia, and N.Korea as well. These countries can be a serious threat to us. I would much rather have them fight there than here. This sounds very cruel, and I have really given this some thought. Why are we fighting on the ground. To me it would seem like the citizens who are normal or like the U.S. should be told to get out, and then a certain date pull the troops and bomb the hell out of the place, and be done with it. This may sound ignorant, but just my feelings.
