I may be mistaken but I thought that (according to liberals and the media) the war on terror has energizes thousand to rise up and fight for hate and the left. However, this interesting little fact seems to have fallen on its face, much like the rest of the liberal arguments since the war began.

Sunday, Mar. 13, 2005

Two weeks after intelligence officials confirmed that Osama bin Laden had sent a message to Jordanian-born terrorist Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi, urging him to plan attacks on U.S. soil, details are emerging from one of al-Zarqawi's lieutenants about what the man behind many of the terrorist attacks in Iraq could have in mind. Intelligence officials tell TIME that interrogation of a member of al-Zarqawi's organization, who was taken into U.S. custody last year and has been described as a top aide, indicates that al-Zarqawi has given ample consideration to assaults on the American homeland. According to a restricted bulletin that circulated among U.S. security agencies last week, the interrogated aide said al-Zarqawi has talked about hitting "soft targets" in the U.S., which could include "movie theaters, restaurants and schools."

The bulletin also notes the Iraq-based master terrorist's apparent belief that "if an individual has enough money, he can bribe his way into the U.S.," specifically by obtaining a "visa to Honduras" and then traveling across Mexico and the southern U.S. border.

Al-Zarqawi's aide also revealed that his boss, after pondering the absence of attacks in the U.S. in recent years, concluded that a lack of "willing martyrs" was to blame. Al-Zarqawi believes, according to his lieutenant, that "if an individual is willing to die, there was nothing that could be done to stop him," even in the U.S. There is no evidence, say intelligence agencies, that al-Zarqawi's agents have infiltrated the U.S. But authorities remain vigilant.

Security sources tell TIME that just last week the FBI sent out two nationwide bulletins warning of a nonspecific threat to railroads in Detroit and Los Angeles. On her visit to Mexico last week, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice issued her own reminder of the border's vulnerability. "There's no secret," Rice told reporters, "that al-Qaeda will try to get into this country ... by any means they possibly can." - TIME



Here is the best quote...

"Al-Zarqawi's aide also revealed that his boss, after pondering the absence of attacks in the U.S. in recent years, concluded that a lack of "willing martyrs" was to blame"

Now according to the liberals out there, the war has increased the numbers of those willing to die. According to those willing to die, the war has had a major negative impact on recruiting - to the degree that they are no longer an effective world wide organization.

Score another one for the good guys, and take another from the bad (terrorists and those people that are always wrong, drumroll... THE LIBERALS).




This highlights reason #77455656 that people around the world hate liberals (and their terrorist allies) more every hour.

'According' to no one! There are more people in the middle east blowing themselves up in Iraq on a daily basis than there were three years ago.

I stand corrected, but I stop reading your drivel after about 5 words.

Maybe the martyrs want instant gratification and would rather die tomorrow in Iraq than in the U.S. a year from now. Maybe a lot of them do not speak English or know how to enter the country, so they settle for doing what they know they can do. Maybe they think the first priority is to get the U.S. out of the M.E., which they might do by meeting their end over there. There may even be some who think that direct attacks on U.S. soil will strenghten our resolve, but attacks over there will grind us down, and in dispair, we will just quit.

There seems to be no evidence that the pool of martyrs is dwindling through attrition, only a question of why they are operating in a limited arena.

Hmm. . . so Liberals are
A) A homogenous group
B) Bad, just like the terrorists and
C)Always wrong, even when two of us take opposing sides on an issue. Oh wait, lemme guess, if C, refer to A.

You know, I've never wanted this before, not even with some of the other classic morons on this forum, but I now see why some have wanted an ignore poster button.

Your opinions are so pointlessly belligerent, and your imprecise use of poster-boy-righty-keywords so rampant, that I'm beginning to think that you are a 13-year who is just now graduating to listening to Rush after a lifetime of listening to your pappy tell you that liberals just want to take your money, your guns and your babies.

irwincur is just another one of those people living in a dark world of their own creation, populated by demons of their own design. Only he and his fellows are painted in bright hues in this dreamworld, charging with swords of rightousness against grey, amorphous enemies who are not defined, only named.

note; I think I need another cup of coffee to finish waking up.
