U.N. report: Al Qaeda still active

[OneFootInTheGrave]

Is it wrong to ask why did the shift of media focus totally move away from Al Quaeda? Furthermore, they go and bust them in Afghanistan first, and than stop. At least this is what appears? In US they are detaining Arabs and in Afghanistan they let Al Quaeda run their bases?

Strange? To me certainly.

And Sprayber, do you think that asking questions is wrong?

I surely don't mind Bush not obliterating all in the way, even though he seem full on course to obliterate Iraq ... and does going after Al Quaeda bases in Afghanistan or Pakistan mean obliterating civilians? Or is it an advantage for US strategy to have functional Al Quaeda training grounds?

You do realize that those aren't the same people. I have different critiques from the Euros. Personally, I think we should burn the f*ckers to the ground. In the NWT, unlike most of Afganistan, the people there seem to support the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Too bad for them, good for us, makes it harder to kill innocents.

I'm mad at Bush and Co because they seem to be loosing focus on those that actually attacked us, and is off tilting at nuclear windmills in Iraq. Hussein never attacked us, at least not until we made it clear we were going to attack him. Al-Qaeda attackes us. The Taliban were sheidling them. The NorthWest Teritories are shielding them. The Saudis are aiding them. I think we need to fight our real enemies and leave the hermits alone.

For all the complaints of why aren't we finishing one job, before moving on to the next(I assume you are talking about Iraq), a war on Iraq has very much to do with fighting terrorism. In the war on terrorism, it is important to maximize our geopolitical power in the Middle East to respond to anything that may develop there and be able to pressure the governments there to help us. A Saddam with nukes would severely undermine our power in the region, so to maximize our power we must prevent that from happening. Hopefully though there can still be a peaceful resolution and the inspections will go well and a Nuclear Iraq will be prevented.
