If Democrats Win In November can We Hope For Renewed Focus on Al Qaeda?

[ProfJohn]

Well since no one is running on the agenda of killing Osama and his terrorist palls I doubt the election will result in much change in our policy.

Osama is most likely dead anyway. How else do you explain the two years without a video tape. Or he could be seriously injured, perhaps to the face, and that explain the audio tapes, but no pictures.
Either way, he is a non-issue.

Outside of invading Pakistan, a nuclear power, we cant do much except to somehow catch OBL outside of that country.

AQ has been decimated in the top leadership since 9-11 by us, so it isnt like we have been sitting around doing nothing.

And if we managed to crush AQ the war on terror wont be over.

Several times too!!!! We've killed/captured the #3 guy now what, 5 times?

haha! Exactly! I've never seen the "Liberal" media question that either.... Sad.

I personally hope we put the hunt for Al Qaeda would just end. We can't police the world. We can't search under every rock, behind every tree, and inside every bush... Its a waste of resources to even try. If we have some sort of idea where he is by intelligence or tips, then yes, lets go kick his ass. But lets stop the nonsense.

I agree, intelligence is how aq should be handled, but they key to good intelligence is good relations with the world, which we have royally screwed ourselves on by letting revenge and unessasary wars get in our way.

Acting like a bully is not only what gets us into these situations where people hate us so much but it makes our job harder rooting out ones who would harm us.

you have no clue what the "key to good intelligence" is... not one clue.

And the Republicans do. They've demonstrated their use of good intelligence repeatedly.... :disgust:

And your ideas have worked so well, well I guess it has, that is if your a radical islamic nutjob looking to recruit, or someone who owns a good amount of military contractors stock.
