Re: Terrorists have been...
fighting a war against the United States since long before the war in Iraq and even September 11.
They attacked the World Trade Center for the first time in 1993.
They bombed the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996.
They attacked our embassies in Africa in 1998.
They launched a suicide bombing attack against the USS Cole in 2000.
And, as far as I can recall, the US had no presence in Iraq during that time period. Bin Laden declared war on us in 1998. They were at war with us. We just weren't at war with them.
Some of you sound like such self-loathing, terrorist apologists, it makes my stomach turn. For a variety of reasons, they want the majority of the West and Israel to just go away. We have to go after them where they are. We can't just wait for them to come back.
And Mudbug, whatever about FOXNews. Like CNN, MSNBC, etc. are not biased toward the left in their purveyance of the world as they see it.
And one last note, perhaps if Bill Clinton had done jack-squat about terrorism in the 90's (did any of you see his complete meltdown when the topic was broached in an interview over the weekend?), President Bush would have been spared the mind-numbingly innane criticisms from the left for doing what we must to defend both America and the West from Islamic fascism today. But, as we all know, he was otherwise occupied....
