The US helped win WWII in less time than Bin Laden has been on the run since 9/11

Man, you are seriously in dreamland.

How could he have complied with requests when he never had any weapons in the first place????????

Two weapons inspectors came back and said there were no weapons. The US team went in and found no weapons. Not even traces. And it wasn't like they found just a couple of weapons laying around.


THEY FOUND NOTHING

He didn't "attract" attention to those weapons, the US pushed the war and that's a fact. Period.

But the original question stands. How has invading Iraq helped the war on terrorism?

Oh, you mean that those wmd weapons he used against kurds didn't exists and that it just was the imagination of the victims that they were hit by such kind of weapons.

Besides such boring facts, you are right - the inspectors didn't find anything, but you forget one thing. They didn't find anything where they were allowed to search. Ok, you may say, there wasn't neither anything to find where they wasn't allowed to search, but that is the real problem. If the inspectors had got acces to all they wanted, then Saddam and family could have run Iraq as their private property for at least the next 50 years.

Almost another year on and Bin Laden still nowhere near being captured...

Just putting the Moussaoui Trial into perspective.

The main difference is that in WWII, and all previous wars that USA, OR UK, have been involved, you could tell the opposition.

Mobius is so astute in his observations on USA, he should have noticed that.
Not to say he didn't, and chooses to ignore.

The other main problem is we don't have fine warriors like Mobius and Sava involved to talk the terrorists to death.

When drawing relevancies of history with the present, it's fine to draw legitimate analogies and parallels. But you can only do this correctly if you actually know what you're talking about with any particular topic/issue.

In this case, MOBIUS does not know what he's talking about because he's completely ignorant about the differences between World War II and the War on Terror, or he does, but his extreme bias led him to ignore the differences just so that he can troll/flame.

This is the worst troll feeding I saw in a long time.

[Harry Tuttle]

The problem is the usual suspects have already answered them, and you. Broken record. Boring!

Well, it is after all a very big fat troll and you are supposed to be nice to children, animals etc

Time to go on a diet, I say. Heart disease is a killer.

Hey all I said was it took the US less time to help win two World Wars than has so far to get one guy - just an observation simply saying I'd have thought the US would have found him by now...

I mean we're almost up to five years now - but then I suppose they did let him walk away from Tora Bora scott free...

Kinda like the Soviets staying away from Berlin long enough for Hitler to leave his bunker safely and without a bullet in his head...

Don't worry, we all know that you haven't the faintest idea about what you are talking about.

[Ned]

Mobius, are you implying that the US is not as powerful now as then?

Also, why are you suggesting that the US is the only nation looking for Osama bin Laden?

[MOBIUS]

Hi Ned, how long are you going to be with us this time...?
