How will the war in Iraq help us from being attacked by Al- Queda?

Question

Please state specific verified reasons, not just some crap you thought you saw on the internet

Answer 1

It is not.
Al Quaida is based in many countries and primarily in Afghanistan. Iraq was a diversionary tactic to vent the anger the American people felt over the attacks on 9/11. No war being fought overseas prevents the possibility of another terrorist strike in the US. We need to be securing our borders and investigating the cells that are already in the US, instead of trying to build an empire in the middle east.
Every day thousands of illegal immigrants flow across our southern border. Included in this population are Chinese, Arab, South American, and other ethnicity's that could have terrorist intentions. The US Government will not spend hardly any money on closing this gap because it is not politically correct. They are perfectly willing to squander our tax dollars in the middle east, and have created the largest national debt ever.
I could go to Mexico this afternoon and arrange to meet someone and bring back weapons, explosives, etc and not be molested by anyone in the process. If I can do it you damn well know there are others doing it. The likely hood of being caught doing anything on the Mexican Border is remote. We are undermanned and overwhelmed down there and no-one except a few vigilante groups seem to care.

Answer 2

Obviously- no. The war in Iraq is centered upon ocupation and the goal of getting out of dodge. The people we are typically fighting are sunni insurgents not wanting to be ruled by a foreign governments thousands of miles away. Granted there are foreign soldiers fighting us there, but its not that hard to goad people into a fight considering United States has many enemies throughout the world.

Answer 3

according to bush were going to kill all of Al-Queda so no one will be left to attach us. Honestly, the war isn't helping at all, its just making people more angry, and were making more enemies. The war in Iraq wasn't meant to get rid of terrorists it has long been known that it was for oil only.

Answer 4

That one is easy. Where is Al-Queda fighting right now? Iraq and Afghanistan. If they are trying to win two wars overseas they can't stage another attack on US soil. It's about taking the fight to the enemy instead of laying in wait for them to bring it to us.

Answer 5

As we eliminate Al-Quaida leaders/people that will mean less attacks like 9/11 and stuff like that. And we want to pin down the people that were responsible for 1000s of peoples lives at 9/11. Do you want more of those attacks?

Answer 6

Because our military is fighting the terrorists, instead of us civilians. How many Al-Qaeda attacks have there been since we invaded Iraq? A bunch over there, but none over here. They can hunt them down over there better than we can here.

Answer 7

it's not. al-queda is in afganastan, not iraq. that's like saying how will the war in iraq help us from being attacked by south korea? it's not.

Answer 8

We just got rid of an annoying leader from that country, the main focus should've been on Afghanastan where we had the support of the whole world, and we were trailing Bin Laden

Answer 9

It won't. It will probably create more anger towards the US which is the very reason the Al-Qaeda exists. It's probably making matters worse in my opinion.

But Bush should've known this, invading countries isn't how you get people to like you!! oh, unless he did it for the money. which he did. nice chap. :-)

Answer 10

We have killed Al Queda leaders - no leader- no attack. Have you seen another attack!
