Yeah, awesome plan, Cobra Commander - we could fly around the planet looking for guys with Terrorist patches on their jackets and take them out.
9:1 ratio.... number of troops in Iraq to Afghanistan Let's find the terrorists that killed thousands of innocent Americans right here on our US soil. OBL is still on the loose. We are sending troops by the thousands to Iraq to protect those oil pipelines. I like cheap oil like the rest of you, but I would love to have OBL's head on a stick.
Are you serious? Still with the oil thing? Unbelievable... The bottom line is this: The fundamental difference between American Liberals and American Conservatives is that the right is made up of doers and the left is made up of whiners, complainers, moaners, talkers, accusers, analysts, "experts," hand shakers, blame pushers, and finger pointers. This is a Do World - not a talk and bitch world. This is a pro-active war - not a sit and wait, analyze, criticize, and bicker about agendas, political power, and spewing your personal hatred for the President of the United States of America type of war. Let the Doers Do what has to be done and keep out of the way. If you need to be with your liberal brothers, turn on the television. Meanwhile, the Doers will be doing... Was this world ever not a Do World? If the liberals of today were ruling Troy back in the day, Odysseus wouldn't even have needed a Trojan Horse - he could have just knocked on the door and the liberals would have let him in...
Are you serious? Still with the oil thing? Unbelievable... I support President Bush, the war effort, etc... always have... and wish we'd taken out Iraq during Bush I... but if you think this isn't about oil, you're wacko! If the oil deposits were all in central Africa, we would care less about the Middle East.... and that's the facts, Jack.
Were you living in a hole the 10 years before that? The first WTC bombing in 1993 and embasey bombings after that? Its our own fault for letting terrorism get to this point from the 1970's. This is what happens when you don't address a problem and it festers over a long period of time, Democrat and Republican, no one addressed this problem since the beginning. I don't trust Democrats at all for this, I am forced to trust Republicans, some who are wishy washy at best. Lindsey Graham, John McCain, etc. btw, Just what we need, more soldiers in Afghanistan for no reason, doing no good. WE SHOULD'VE INVADED PAKISTAN after Afghanistan and rounded up all the terrorists.
I'm convinced that you have an opinion, and not facts... Maybe JUST MAYBE this is about trying to bring democracy to a region that is doomed to repeating the mistakes of the past if nothing is changed. Sounds like a typical, weak-kneed, liberal response, (I support the war, BUT) (fi you think this isn't about oil, etc.) And no, I'm not wacko...at least the US Army didn't think so when I served.... Please do all of those brave men and women fighting over there a favor....either support them or don't...they don't care about your BUTs. Instead of deciding this is a plot to turn Iraq into a Texaco station, why not pray for those whose lives are forever changed by the events in London.
Instead of deciding this is a plot to turn Iraq into a Texaco station, why not pray for those whose lives are forever changed by the events in London. Please spare me with your self-serving righteousness about my "level of prayer"... what a cheap shot. The FACT is if the oil basin and OPEC wasn't in the Middle East, we wouldn't be there either. It's there... and that's why we care. Put it in the Congo and we'd be all worried about the stability there. No oil and the Middle East would be one big desert that no one would care about..... btw, thank you for your service.
Ding Ding Ding!!!!! We have a winner..... Imagine if we did what BB speaks of.... talking about doing it and doing it are two different things.....
Not to rain on the parade of ignorance, but Nigeria has vast oil reserves and political instability. We're not there. Never heard of a Nigerian terrorist though. Wonder if there's a connection?
