Comments on: Renewed Warnings About Al Qaeda

Al Queda would be better off lying low until the election. An attack would hurt Obama''''s chances of winning. Why fight when Obama would surrender?

Surrender to what?

[downsteamjim]

If Ben Laden is so easy to catch in the frontier region of Pakistan which is full of fanatics, why did it take years to catch the Unabomber or the Olympic Park bomber who were working alone in the U.S.

If he didn''t exist, this administration would have created one. He''s entirely to useful to them.

firststate,

You are an intelligent person. Here is a known photograph of Osama, compared side-by-side to a still-frame from the infamous "admission" video:

Can you honestly say that this is the same guy in both shots?

Re: "Unfortunately they (al Qaeda) still retain a certain ability to operate in the tribal areas. They have friends that are (in) Pakistan and (among) Afghans to help them%u201D said Boucher, adding that %u201Csome of these people (among Islamic militants) are very hardcore, very dangerous and we have to fight them."


Ever notice how fascistic imbeciles, like Boucher, have trouble speaking in complete sentences, when they are lying?

Boucher and his fellow goose-steppers are desperate to re-inflate the perceived threat posed by al-Qaqa.

[firststate]

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher, ending a three day visit to Islamabad, told a news conference: %u201CAl Qaeda is very, very dangerous. It remains a grave threat to the United States, to the western world and also to Pakistan and Afghanistan. We (the U.S.) are not the only target. We are all going to have to deal with this.%u201D

This is Mr. Boucher''s stinging indictment of the administration''s schizophrenic attitude regarding al Qaeda and bin Laden. Instead of concentrating on taking bin Laden and pounding al Qaeda into irrelevance, they took them out of the military''s sights to start an unprovoked war unrelated to 9/11, al Qaeda, bin Laden, or terrorism. Our military performed well in Iraq, but their victory opened new territory for them and provided new recruiting tools. The benefits to al Qaeda of their actions outweigh the damage done.

On a related point, I think that the people of New York will be voting on whether to conduct a fresh, independent investigation of the events of 9/11/01, when they vote in November.

I sure hope that it passes.

[firststate]

Every single day than bin Laden remains free is another victory for al Qaeda and an insult to those who suffered and perished on 9/11. He went from wanted "Dead or Alive" to Osama who? to the administration? McBush doesn''t seem too interested in getting him, either. It''s almost as if the administration has forgotten those vicious attacks on 9/11 as anything but a political tool. How can anyone who watched the towers fall decide that getting those responsible shouldn''t be our nation''s top priority?

Bombs are not the only weapon, the economic weapon "oil" is just as effective! Osama bin Laden had a goal of oil prices reaching $140.00 a barrel 10 years ago and he actually lived to see it! Are we even trying to capture bin Laden, seriously? bin Laden must be celebrating about now since the price of oil per barrel exceeded his goal! Sad.

[firststate]

al Qaeda would be much less a threat if the campaign against them and Osama bin Forgotten-Laden had remained the center of our military''s attention. Unfortunately, the administration came up with Iraq as a diversion. The war against that country diverted manpower and resources from the difficult task in Afghanistan to remove Iraq as a secular buffer against Iran and set the scene for the civil war in Iraq that is on hold. All the predictions about the bad results from removing Saddam have been proved correct and bin Laden is still wandering the mountains with his dialysis machine and generator plotting against us. He and al Qaeda have been too useful a tool for scaring people into supporting the Grand Oil Party to give it up by putting al Qaeda down and capturing him. They can''t afford to let us win the war on terror, it''s their main selling point.

[j-whitman]

A senior U.S. official on Wednesday renewed warnings of the danger posed by al Qaeda to the security of the United States

So,, we are no more safe then before 9/11

[j-whitman]

jennmarikp,,,, Not to worry, when our kids grow up in our free society McBush will send them to fight in Iraq for someones freedom

Excellent points.

Re: "Renewed Warnings About Al Qaeda"

Thanks CBS!

I almost forgot to fill my pants in fear today, worrying about the contrived and mostly non-existent threat posed by al-Qua-Qua.

I''m sure that your blood-drenched war profiteering sponsor, Exxon-Mobil, appreciates the added profits that they enjoy from your empty scare-mongering.

[jennmarikp]

I hope I''m alive for the next revolution . . . it''s a coming and coming soon . . .the American people need to get their heads out of their butts and stop worrying about how nice their car is or getting pissed off at the person who cut them off driving down the highway. Start worrying about important things like will your children even live in a free society when they reach adulthood? Meanwhile the people are getting poorier and the government officials are getting richer. The government was put in place to speak FOR the people not AT the people!

[dmgenet]

Terrorism was a huge threat prior to 9/11. Just because it wasn''t acknowledged prior to 9/11 and then the terrorists get lucky we are to kowtow to a ''senior official''. Now there is a warning every month whether we need it or not.

Why wasn''t there hew and cry raised when the Fed building in Oklahoma city was blown up???? Because it was a domestic terrorist?

The threat is ALWAYS within.

[dmgenet]

Part 2: Just more BS from the top BSer, George W. Bushit.

I believe that G W Bush really believes it and Dickless Cheney doesn''t. Oil is the word. Get into politics to make you and your friends rich.

[dmgenet]

Well then. Let''s bring home the troops from Iraq, and shore up our defenses. A boy scout could get a dirty bomb into the USA. Bush/Cheney''s reasoning and subsequent foreign policy are BS. They have left us vulnerable. It takes manpower and good old police work to combat terrorism on our shore. That goes for the domestic terrorists as well as foreign terrorists.

OIL is the answer...what is the question.

I see the party liners are stoking the fear fires in preparation for the upcoming elections
