Osama's War

[stevemon]

Got this via Email and posting here for Gothmog.

He's always asking why aren't we chasing OBL. Well, maybe this is the reason:

When the Duke of Wellington was asked what he would do at the Battle
of Waterloo he said "Whatever Napoleon does not want me to do".

The way to defeat al-Qaeda is not to give it the battle it wants and chase
terrorists throught the Pamir Mountains and the Hindu Kush but to go
for their heartland and do what they do not want the US to do. A democracy in Iraq will be the first step needed to bring the people in the Mid-East out of the 9th century. This war was necessary because of the growing danger to the civilized world posed by the terrorists and there's no way that sitting down and talking with the people of that region will accomplish anything.

Remember too that the threat from Germany and Japan was removed by completely changing the nature of their societies. Once they became dedicated democracies they were no longer hostile. Changing the Arab societies in a similar way can have a similar happy result.

Was this before or after the French blew his leg off with a cannonball?

Personally I see the writers POV a little off. WW2 was all about Empire and economy. OBL is a religious fanatic.

that makes no sense. Imagine someone decided the best way to get Tim McVeigh is to invade America


BTW, whats wrong with some precision bombing raids on alqueda's camps in Pakistan?
cant wait til Obama gets in, and we finally go after the Terrorists!!!!!

It would, I mean we're already here.

So if Mccain gets in, you dont think we wont go after the terrorists? Mccain is a REAL war vet, and im sure he'll take it to em.

[BLACK6PACK]

Sounds to me like they're having some luck against the taliban right now.

[Tur6oGN]

If Obama could win, that would make it easier to find him, I mean, them!

If we could just get Obama's phone and look at his top 5, we would have a good start!

[Gothmog]

The facts remains,

The taliban is not Alqueda,

Alqueda is in pakistan.

Obama has promised to go after Alqueda in Pakistan

the repubublicans MOCKED OBAMA for suggesting he go after OBL in Pakistan.

You either need to start taking the medication that your doctor gave you, or stop using the drugs from your local street corner!

which part of

"we let Osama go 5 years ago, and havent been pursuing him since"


dont you understand?

[Gothmog]

When the WTC was attacked, Bill Clinton
hunted the suspects
caught them
tried them
convicted them
jailed them


When the WTC was attack again
Bush
hunted the suspect
then invaded Iraq

the end

[stevemon]

Yeah it's like taking care of the nest where these buggers breed rather than chasing individual cockroaches under the sink.
Once again Gothmog offers up the least effective solution to the problem. (makes for good political ammo for Bush haters though )
