Furthermore, "they" hate us because we are, not because of where we are. The radicals will kill Americans where ever they find them including America.

Not being in Iraq did not prevent 9/11 so you are wrong.

After September 11th, it became apparent that simply going after Al-Qaeda was not going to be enough to prevent future attacks. First off, if you simply target Al-Qaeda, what happens if the core of group simply changes its name or groups with other anti-American terrorists? Furthermore, how can you effectively target terrorists protected by the power of a rogue state? The answer is, "you can't". In addition, the training, resources, & protection provided by those rogue states is the very thing that enables a group like Al-Qaeda to become capable of pulling off the sort of attack we saw on 9/11. So in order to prevent future 9/11s, you have to go after not just Al-Qaeda, but all terrorist groups with global reach and the rogue states that support them. George Bush made that clear in his Sept 20, 2001 speech to the nation when he said, "Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated....

I saw boats not flying any particular flag, or military insignia, acting in a possibly threatening way. Sure.. maybe they were Iranian.. Maybe not. Maybe they were there for ill intent.. maybe not.

When a Destroyer is on alert.. You'd think that a small speed boat or group of small speed boats is hardly a threat to a modern Warship. Apparently they didn't get to close. If they did...they would have been blown out of the water.

So what?

Is this any more significant then any other conflict over there. The only thing notable and worth mention is no one was hurt!

Other then for the military, the people manning the ships and maybe their families...

This sounds like a whole lot of noise about nothing. Unless you are speaking about a crisis averted.

From the way the op was writing..I'm thinking that was not the intent of this thread.


Tell that to the families of the 19 sailors lost on the U.S.S. Cole.

You see nothing wrong with the taking of an innocent life?

If you don't like being called a liberal, stop acting like one laugh and quit whinning already. And why would you need a disclaimer are you embarrased by your own views


i did not wish to discuss my views as i'm not fully settled on when i believe life starts.

excuse me for believing in freedoms and your will not encroaching on another's




Then you have nothing to add to the discussion. Get a settled opinion and then discuss. Death penalty opposition is indeed contrary to the pro-choice view. The unborn innocent have just as much(more IMO)right to live as those on death row.

Again, we will have to agree to disagree. Now, can we please get back on topic?

I smell bull****. Staging a phony attack to rally support for war is one of the oldest tricks in the book. It's amazing how stupid and gullible people can be. Yet it happens over and over.

I find it appalling that not one of our so called liberal media outlets even raised one question about the authenticity of these attacks. How many bogus stories have we heard about Iran? I can think of at least two off the top of my head that were proven to be fake.

This is my first post here! Let's see how many I piss of by the end of the week. grumble


Lies, lies, it's all lies. Down with the "man". WTF?

If your agenda is to "see how many I piss off" then please refrain from posting on this thread. This discussion is for the distribution of information and opposing views. We can respectfully agree to disagree. But we can't have a pissing match... read the rules before you post.

Winnie, I understand the bitter feelings you have for Dallas. For whatever reason, it is something you can not let go. I wish you well in your struggle to overcome those demons. For, it will consume you otherwise. DALLAS IS SUPER BOWL BOUND!!!!

McNabb is an awesome QB. The best thing the eagles could do from my Cowboys perspective is to let him go. History tells us that when the eagles have a good thing(T.O. the primadonna), you will screw it up and lose it. Dallas thanks you for your folly. Your loss is our gain. DALLAS IS SUPER BOWL BOUND!!!

I beg to differ. You challenge what I know. So explain yourself.


i'm challenging your belief that bush is doing a good job.

if airlines did their jobs, we would have not been attacked. if customs did their jobs, we would not have been attacked. if the fbi shared info about possible terrorist, we would not have been attacked. if bush and his people had taken osama's threats seriously...

what i'm saying is that it's not a great achievement that we're safe now, it's more agencies with more people still doing the same half assed job. more people doing half assed = more ass in general

anyone with any kind of plan could achieve the results that bush has, and had it been anyone else we might not have alienated most of our allies


I respectfully disagree... Preventing 9/11 was Clinton's failure, not Bush. The lack of attacks since then doesn't just happen. It took action! Numerous plots have been foiled because of action. The democarts do not offer anything to persuade me to believe their actions would keep this country safe. They want our defeat in Iraq. They want socialist ideas implemented. No thank you. I am an independent mind that wants this country to remain safe.

Hell yes Bush is qualified to deal with the islamo radicals. Why do you think we have not been attacked in 6+ years? Bill Clinton did nothing to curve the steady build up in violence commited by terrorists. Kobar towers, embassy bombings, and the bombing of the WTC.... Clinton did nothing to stop the radicals. 9/11 was plotted, financed and put in place during Clintons watch but because it was executed during Bush's first year, you choose to believe it was his fault? Pointing the finger at Bush is not persuasive. Count your blessings you live in a safe country right now. You will look back on this day in time quite fondly when your democrat president fails to maintain the nations security. You want a democrat in the white house? Are you willing to bet all our lifes on it? I'm not.


every post you makes forces me to believe that you don't know what you're talking about

I don't hear the persuasive reason I asked for. I'm starting to think you don't have one. I eagerly await a plausible reason to believe America is any safer with a democrat in the white house.

Tell me not that you disagree but why? I eagerly await a plausible reason to believe America is any safer with a democrat in the white house. As for issues within America's own borders... they will not matter once we have no America. National security comes first.
