After that, it's onto Canada!!!! With their cheap meds and French sympathies. Oh... and then... then the Irish! The IRA blows up our brothers in the SAS, and so we must invade Belfast and occupy it until we can help the British establish a provisional government made up of Irish who can quell the insurgency on their own.

Yup.. saw that some time back, agree with the conclusions.

Here's my problem.. we're pissing up the proverbial rope.

Where's the Fleets.. the rallied industry, the global force, the nations resolve?

If we're at WAR, lets get it done. Took us just 4 years to roust the Japanese and the European Axis on a global scale; we built a massive force; deployed it; engaged and defeated the enemy on their soil.. then rebuilt those nations and their economies in 4 more.

Now, we're tossing kids in too small numbers into a **** bowl and flushing away our credibility and capability in this half-assed global 'forever war' on terror.

How can we win the way we're going about it now? The price is too high, the return too small the way we're going about it now. We're wasting our kids lives.

It's time to go full court press.. MAXIMUM EFFORT; or bring the kids home and  hit the snooze alarm; wait for the next massive attack on americans on american soil.

Sooner or later, it'll be the full Court Press.. or we lose.
The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...

...at home, or abroad.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

If nothing else, the other side has declared a war and conducted attacks on foriegn soil. This is not just on 9/11 (which was only the last to date in the US) and not just in America.

We have a choice as to where we wage the conflict. We can wait for them to come to our shores and then react or we can go somewhere else with an invitation to engage in conlict. I'm an over there kind of guy. As long as we keep them occupied elsewhere they are not concentrating on destroying people and objects here.

If things aren't simple to understand, sorry, the world does not owe anyone the "cliff notes" to existance.

Rip,
That answer doesn't explain why the Admin wouldn't get all the mileage it can from this.

IF Americans are "infactuated" with non-existant WMD's it's because that's the case the Admin laid out to go into Iraq.

IF it is a brilliant idea to bring the war on terror to their house....btw, I agree with taking the fight to the people responsible (of course, it helps our credibility to take it to the right people), then again, you'd think the White House would be saying this 24/7.

AND with Bush's approval numbers so low, and mid-terms coming up, I would expect that if there was validity to this, the White House SHOULD get this out as much as they can.

saddam hussein was a terrorist supporter & he hated the U.S.
 
He never hid the fact that he paid $25,000 a pop to the families of suicide bombers who hit Israel.
 
The World trade centers had been attacked before by radical muslims.
 
U.S. interests have been attacked around the world for decades by radical muslims & I could list them here but it's already tedious reading. Who said the U.S. needed connect it to 9-11 anyway? We went in because of our war on terror & the continued threat they posed, not because we are at war with one terrorist organization, it's terrorists & terrorists supporters. If you hate us; want us dead & are willing to attack us; we will kill you.

Just how ignorant should we be? According to the liberal govts. & peoples of the world we shouldn't attack THOSE radical muslims because we can't prove they had anything to do with the events of Sept. the 11th 2001.

 Just ask them what they wish would happen to the US & Israel; that's all the "proof" I feel the U.S. needs.

 It's my opinion the U.S. should have instituted a draft & fired on every nation hostile to us or our allies at the same time. Kill them all, kill the men, kill the women, kill the children, kill their livestock, kill their pets & burn down their homes. That's what they would do to us if they had the chance.
 
I have absolutely no mercy in my heart for anyone who wants my children dead. It's a war to the end & this is only the begining; the radical muslims should either surrender or die & if the North Koreans or Chinese want to get involved - nuke 'em.

 But then again I'm a hard nosed S.O.B.

Oh lord, justifying invading Iraq to 'fight them over there rather than over here" is insane.

To stop terrorists, you build relations with countries that you believe harbor them.  You use special forces and intelligence to kill their leaders and to sabotage their plans.

Saddam and Bin Laden had no ties.  The U.S. had access to the countries that Al Qada was in (Afghanistan and Pakistan).

If anything, Iraq is what we *wanted* the Middle East to be like.  It was a modern, progressive, educated country.

Heh shrimp

By "progressive" you mean "ruthlessly oppressive", right?

Or maybe the dozens of mass graves they've found sort of escaped your notice?

BTW, well done mrcoffee.  I think that *other* thread got deleted entirely.  Well done indeed.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.
