Bush response to 9/11 prevented more attacks

LONDON — Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, al Qaeda's purported operations chief, has told U.S. interrogators that the group had been planning attacks on the Library Tower in Los Angeles and the Sears Tower in Chicago on the heels of the September 11, 2001, terror strikes.
Those plans were aborted mainly because of the decisive U.S. response to the New York and Washington attacks, which disrupted the terrorist organization's plans so thoroughly that it could not proceed, according to transcripts of his conversations with interrogators.

Hmmm - a prisoner telling his interrogators what they want to hear?  Maybe

I sincerely hope it is true, since we decimated their organization in Afghanistan.  BUt they are still alive and kicking re Bali, Madrid.  This aint over yet.

The transcripts are prefaced with a warning that Mohammed, the most senior al Qaeda member yet to be caught, "has been known to withhold information or deliberately mislead."


Jokes apart, you will learn how big can be a terrorist's mouth after capture .... "same old" europe knows it veeeery well.

We already know that the campaign in Afghanistan was successful (or somewhat successful, the HMFIC is still on the lose).

Noone has ever argued against the afghan campaign. In fact alot of crazy liberals like myself would like us to focus more on it.
What we do question is the whole iraq thing. Do not confuse the 2.

How do you know the prisoner didnt say that? If he did, do you actually believe you would hear or read that? nonsense...

Besides, everyone knows bush is a warmonger.. He said it himself! Hence why he feels he has no need to justify his actions to the american people...

I'm not even talking about Iraq....you seem to think that I think bush is the next best thing since sliced bread...I DONT.  I think he is the lessor of two evils (compared to John flip flop kerry)

I dont think the librals are giving the president room to breath...if he does somthing its usually (i your guys opinion) over the top or too little too late

Just like when clinton was president...the repubs were so over him because he purgered himself about the whole monica lewinsky thing that he didnt have the political power to do anything but lobb a few million dollar curise missles in response to the embasy bombings


I feel criticism is healthy but you libs are over the top with this man.  Its just nothing but PURE hate

Frog,  Were there hundreds of thousands of people murdered, tortured, and raped by Saddam's Regime?

A simple "Yes" or "No" will help me understnad what you feel.

Thank you.

But..but...your hero Clarke testified and defended that "...the idea of acting even when the intelligence is uncertain, especially when WMDs are potentially involved."
