maybe this (Iraq war) is just a way to bring them out into the open where we can deal with the rats with our military on their turf instead of on our turf after the fact with with our police and firemen.

Yup. Afterall, the Sept 11th hijackers were mainly Iraqi.

didn't say that

but the 9/11 murderous thugs were terrorists just as their peers are blowing up hotels in Iraq today

I think what eagler is saying is.."Foreign nationals in Iraq that sympathize with Al Queda type terrorists."

Really? The 9-11 people were Al Queda operatives bent on the destruction of America. These Iraqi sabateurs and terrorists are for the most part the remnants of a regime recently broken by the Coalition, who otherwise would be concerned with internal repression. I see no direct connection other than the use of violence.

If your point is that the Coalition is now ridding the world of bad men, then I agree. But I hardly think that is an achievable goal given the state of the world today and I strongly doubt that it is the motivation of the powers that be.

So in other words, there is no direct connection between Saudi terrorists and Iraqi terrorists except for the fact that theyre all terrorists?

Have you ever raised chickens or animals of any sort? When one is injured, the rest eventually start pecking, nibbling, biting it until it is dead. Sign of weakness usually brings forth aggressiveness by parties otherwise not interested in agression.

Personally, I see the US as being very vulnerable the last 10-15 years, with its "peak" on 9/11/2001. It seems to me that the U.S. Gov't is basically putting the word out that "we're wounded, but we're going to recover, don't PHUCK with us". Bravo I say.

Motivation is, I think, the key point here. I'm talking about the remnants of the regime who want to have the reigns back in their hands. There is a clear distinction between them, the foreign minority and the 9-11 attackers in terms of motivation.

how do you know who is carrying out the terrorists attacks in Iraq? Afghanistan?

how do you know their nationalities?

I paint them all with the same brush and wish them all the same fate ...

seems better for the military to pop them there. must be easier for them to wander into those countries and fight the "Great Satan" than to organize something in the states...

Conjecture - the same stuff that you are using to surmise that the endeavour was a strategy of feint and ambush.

Without that, we may as well go back to talking about gay marriage and fake breasts or crappy American cars.

Dating a stripper = paranoid.

Being attacked = war.
