If Bin Ladin did do it Afghan=Screwed

[Mo0o]

Bush just said that they will make no distinction between the perpetraitor (spelllll) and those who harbor them. so if bin ladin did do it, well, afghan is in some deep doodoo

 

[notfred]

well, not if they put him in prison and hand him over to us.

 

[Mo0o]

<< well, not if they put him in prison and hand him over to us. >>



assuming they can find his ass

 

[beer]

Whether he didn't do it or did do it, he still be screwed. We know he's a terrorist so we don't need confirmation for his pariticipation in this attack to make his country a sheet of glass.

 

[DonaldDuck82]

if it is bin laden, any arab country that ever harbored him can expect all out war fare from us, and it will come with a level of hatred never seen before

 

[HamSupLo]

Well, even if we decide to strike Afghanistan, what could we target? Major cities are already rubble from years of civil war. If we land troops there, the Taliban probably won't fight. The whole country is already been bombed back to the stone age. They might conduct a covert military operation to kidnap Bin Laden...who knows......

hmm are you suggesting chemical warfare? hmmmmm

 

[HamSupLo]

This might finally bring the demise of the Taliban

 

[DonaldDuck82]

as long as it kills them and doesn't affect me, hey, i am for it

the price we extract must be high.. atleast 10x our casualities.

<< the price we extract must be high.. atleast 10x our casualities. >>



what if there arrent 10x our casualties in bad guys.... some people need to think a little.. we need to waste the bad guys... not random foreigners in order to feel better, and not to meet a certain quota

 

[Looney]

Of course nobody is taking responsibility for it. The way these terrorist groups work, VERY few people have complete information exactly what's going on (probalby nobody but Bin Laden himself)... each cell only knows exactly what their jobs is, and they don't know what the other cells are doing. This being said, the Afghans had no idea how successful Bin Laden would be (in the past, he's done a halfass job at the WTC, and his bombings of the US embassies and military bases have been on a really small scale)... until this happened, and now i'm sure the Afghans are aware of how serious it is... they probably went up to Bin Laden and said 'omg, wtf did you do? We're in DEEP sh1t now!'

agreed.

 

[Logix]

I just hope we get some support from the rest of the diplomatic world. England, France, Japan, etc., have expressed their horror at what happened. Hopefully they'll support us later in any retaliatory attacks against the perpetrators.

 

[chiwawa626]

why should afgan pay for binladins bs...thats so inconsiderate of the hundreds of thousands of lives...I still dont get how the US cant find binladin, hes had one on one intreviews with the press and the US can get him? wtf...

 

[dawheat]

b/c they've been sheltering him for years. While this is not the same as state sponsored terrorism, it still is the support of a soverign nation for a known terrorist. The precedent should be set- if a nation in anyway sponsors or supports terrorism, then they must be held accountable.

 

[Beandog]

Wow, just saw a report on CNN, Military is already mobilized. Just waiting for confirmation on absolute proof, but I think the intercept of that message earlier going to Bin Ladin that two targets were hit is already decent proof. Afghan would have to be nuts not to turn his azz over now, not much left of Afghanistan anyways, but it will send a strong message, and you know the military will hit very hard with everything they got and it will be over in less than a week. We will have to see.

 

[Aihyah]

not random foreigners in order to feel bette

i did not say that, you did. striking back at terrorists familys, friends, governments associated, and their countrymen. simply make the costs of attacking the us too horrendeous.

you aren't going to find many people to strike at enemies with you if you have to sacrifice your mother, your family for a small victory.

 

[cx32m4]

did anyone see SwordFish?
Are there really people like that who goes after Terrorists?
I hope so.

 

[sandorski]

*If* Bin Laden is responsible, cruise missiles, carpet bombing, or nuclear attack(this being a stupid option) is insufficient. The only sufficient response would be the capture and/or death of Bin Laden himself. Letting him continue to live free will be as effective as letting Sadam Hussein live free.

Of course, if others are responsible, the above applies to them too.

 

[Aelus]

Erm, just FYI, but the soviets tried to break down the terrorism in afghanistan after they occupied it, and they miserably failed, why would the USA succeed?

Afghanistan is a very big country, with lots of places to hide out, so even if the taliban want to turn him in, they'll have to find him first...

you won't find ben laden, and even if you do find/kill him, someone else will step up, and take his place. stop panicking, because if ben laden wanted to target the civilians of the USA, you'd be all dead already. Fight the reason this terrorism is happening, not the symptoms.

[viper007]

I don't get it guys? Aren't u forgetting that u will also be killing inicent people aswell? Don't u just want to kill the people in charge....

harbor meaning.. if Afghan's helped or supported Bin Laden correct?

 

[Turin39789]

The only way we will go to war with anyone is if they actively harbor bin laden from us from this moment on.


Oh and I'd be curious to know how many of you jingoists are of drafting ages?

 

[MidnightKrawler]

If you haven't noticed, over the past 50 years the image of strength of the US has slowly weakened. After the atomic bombs were dropped, I doubt any country at the time even thought about touching the US let alone offending us. Over the few decades, the US has responded to small scale attacks with what is equivalent of slaps on the wrist. I think it's about time we raise some good 'ol fashion US patriotic cans-o-whoop-ass. No one does this kind of evil to our country and gets away with it.

When we retaliate, yes there will be innocent lives that are inevitably lost. They are called "collateral damage." Yes, it does sound heartless to say, but what about all the innocent lives that were lost from yesterday's attack? Those lives paid for the name of our country. Those who are citizens of the countries of our enemies should expect the same. The Japanese bombed a relatively small harbor more than 50 years ago paid dearly for their actions. Retailiating with anything less than full scale assault would be against the standards set forth by our past leaders. This means war!!!
