They hit us almost everyday in Iraq. The number of terror attacks worldwide has skyrocketed since the invasion. I was for it initially because I thought that Saddam possessed weapons, and giving those to terrorists was a real possibility. Now, I think differently, but in no way did our actions in Iraq "stop" terrorism.

So there have been no terrorist attacks since Bush invaded Iraq... has it occurred to anyone that this might be to do with the legitimate and (initially) successful campaign in Afghanistan, and have nothing to do with Iraq at all?
That's certainly my interpretation.

Her209: If you say so.
Bomberman says, "The only way to stop terrorists is to maybe listen to their demands a bit and adjust our foreign policy accordingly....I'm not saying we should negotiate...but obviously something makes terrorists mad (i.e. support of Israel, use of oil) and we as voters have the power to change that "
Vic: That's what I'm talking about. Stupidity meet stupidity... k, thx.

How is that giving in? At least Kerry wouldn't have invaded Iraq and lost over 1000 lives, killed several thousand innocent Iraqis, and generated more terrorists out of some Iraqis....but I guess those aren't important anymore, are they?
So who pulled off the first WTC bombing?
Another example. Someone who wants to criticize the mechanism but would criticize just as much if another attack happened. That's known as 'hypocrisy' in some circles.
I could have carried out 9/11 with two weeks' advanced notice with any 19 Joe Schmoes from my high school class, and half of them couldn't read at a fourth grade level. The idea that it's so sophisticated or difficult to pull off such an attack is ignorant in the extreme. Pretending that Kerry can somehow magically make it more difficult to pull it off is naive. No president can protect you from terrorism.
As for why I think we haven't been attacked since 9/11, that is another topic for another thread. Maybe tomorrow...
What if he did pass off his weapons to terrorists and we were too late? Would you change your mind?
Yes, by forcing our democratic value down their throat at gunpoint, blowing up their moms/dads/sons/daughters in the process, that will eliminate Hitler's regime.
Or should we have done nothing in the 1940's? Remember - we were in Germany and Japan for around 10 years post-WW II performing active rebuilding.
1. I have other things to do
2. take it up with Cheney, I didn't say that.
3. I have enough of a time backing up my own statements not Cheney's
4. Oh what the heck I might as well answer it now. Saddam's removal was a step in the right direction not the end of the war on terror. It may or may not have made us safer I guess we'll never know since we won't now know what would have happened had we not removed Saddumb.
Most of Cockroach's greatest historians agree that the Sword of God that destroyed the human race and lead to the glorious emergence of our own was precipitated by the Preemptive Strategy of The Stupid One as has been adduced from ancient human texts.
You see? Progress under Bush. Got to go extinct sometime. Nothing lasts forever. (thank God)
How boring if the dinosours still ruled the earth.

Good for you. Their kind will go the way of the dinosaur soon enough. The people needed someone like Bush to see just how hideous the neocon agenda really is. I am happy he came along when he did.

No, what you said was stupid. You inserted a false agenda that you think your political opponent might have in order to suppress debate and democratic process and advance your own agenda. If you did it consciously, I might give you credit. But you do it on reflex, and believe that is your opponent's agenda without asking them, simply because someone on the radio or TV told you so. Sad. Lowest common denominator mob thinking.

It hasn't......the Bush administration including the likes of Cheney and Ashcroft are terrorizing the citizens of this country everyday. :roll:
This is another troll thread.....you're on a roll.
This is a complete theory. Prove that the Iraq war WAS the reason that we have not been attacked by the terrorists over the last 3 years? Not spin, solid proof. Not hypothesis or even uneducated guesses (both are guesses). If you're so sure, give the proof.

Since Bush invaded Iraq I haven't died of cancer. I hope Bush keeps killing Iraqis so I can go on living.

I nominate this for dumbest post of the week. It's just hysterical.
P.S. - thanks for telling us you're still in high school
