Do you think you are winning the war on terrorism?

Come on, give us all a good laugh.

Anyone who is still pro-American, if there is anyone, please read SVern's answer

Answer 1

I'm a American Democrat so please don't include me with neocon Republican dim whits. The Wars are not going well, and I look at the Radio Free Press and BBC releases daily. The American Conservative owned, and ran media has really caused more problems than good. I believe the Republicans have caused additional problems with their spamming of the Internet over these failing wars as well. America votes a new Congress in November and I already know it will be majority Democrat to be able to have Middle East Diplomacy that the Republicans with the Bush and Cheney Administration lacks so evidently. Don't listen to these Neocon hackers here on this page either since it's mostly one person spamming with multiple profiles to carry his views. Neocons cheat even on Yahoo Answers.

Answer 2

Yes. The Iraqi war is not where we would ideally like it, but yes, because a totalitarian regime who had terrorized his 50 million citizens has been toppled. Would you prefer these people still be enslaved as before? When the US and UK fought the Nazis, many more people began dying compared to before the fighting started. Should the US and UK have given up in the first six months, "because, my God, in attempting to free the continent, there are lots of deaths. Better to just let Hitler take it over, so as to (temporarily) minimize deaths" ?

Israel did not win the war, out of lack of will, despite winning every battle. Lebanon loses, therefore as well, Hezbollah wins by surviving. ...but not for long if Hezbollah attacks again.

Overall, Afghanistan is in much better shape. With you in charge, where would that country be? Where would Iraqis be? What would Saddam be doing, besides killing his own people? He would be further progressing on WMDs---which we have found there, and he had used to kill tens of thousands. Libya is now not pushing WMDs, but would be if you were in charge.

The U.S. presence in Afghanistan and Iraq puts it in a perfect position against the real engineers behind most of the terror: Iran. Iran is now surrounded, and effectively so is Syria. Do you think Iran is happy about this? Their leaders are worried they'll end up like Saddam and his sons. And let's all hope they do, so that the good people of Iran can be freed of their oppression for the last generation.

And, concerning SVern's comment,

"The war on terrorism will never be truly won until the Earth is liberated from ALL radical muslim animals."

he is not saying all muslims. He is talking about the Islamo-Nazis, the ones believing their goal in life is to violently spread Islam across the world, and who believe killing innocents is totally justified for this purpose. Would not the following have been an appropriate sentence for WWII?

"The war on Nazism will never be truly won until the Earth is liberated from ALL Nazi animals."

Surely this was true, and uncontroversial.

Answer 3

We are fighting a global war against international terrorists because the terrorists are engaged in a global jihad against infidels. The scariest thing about it is that a good many people in this country believe we actually have the luxury of opting out.

Isn't the operative assumption that we are dealing with a reasonable enemy that doesn't want war any more than we do?

Why else would Democratic Congressman Martin Frost tell Fox News -- approvingly -- that "a majority of the American people has now decided that it was a mistake for us to go into Iraq … "? Why else would certain media elites treat the ranting, spooky 18-page letter of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to President Bush as a thoughtful, serious piece warranting the president's good faith consideration? Ahmadinejad, by the way, said on Aug. 3 that the solution to the Middle East crisis is to destroy Israel.

Why else would the Left be so quick to declare moral equivalence between the actions of the Hezbollah terrorist aggressors and those of Israeli defenders? Why else would the liberal media downplay Hezbollah's raining of over 200 rockets on potentially civilian targets in one day while ignoring the possibility that the report of civilian deaths in Qana from Israeli airstrikes was part of a terrorist-staged propaganda event? Doesn't the fact that terrorists traffic in lies as well as murder warrant skepticism at least?

Why else would "more than a third of the American public suspect that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East" (according to a new Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll)?

Why else would former U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Ed Peck (and others) refuse to call Hezbollah a terrorist organization? "A terrorist organization," said the diplomat, "is in the eye of the beholder." When asked, point blank, whether Hezbollah was a terrorist organization, Peck said, "No, I think it has objectives to which we object very strongly, and some of them are bloody. But other people are doing things quite similar to that and they're not called terrorists because they're on our side."

Yes, many in this country stubbornly believe the United States, let alone Israel, is not an entirely innocent party in this war. They believe, variously, that terrorists have legitimate grievances that can be mollified through negotiation, that we can rectify those grievances by altering our "imperialistic" policies and that Muslim terrorists have a right to be outraged that we attacked Iraq and had the audacity to help the Iraqis establish a political system whereby they could choose their own leaders instead of submitting to an unelected dictator.

They believe the terrorists have a right to be outraged at our consistent support of the Israelis, which are no different from the terrorists and allegedly have no greater claim to the Holy Land than the Palestinians. They believe the Palestinians are victims who are willing to live in peace with Israel if it will just cede a little more land, and a little more land, and a little more land, and that the United States has no moral authority in demanding the cessation of Iran's nuclear weapons program since we have the world's most formidable nuclear arsenal ourselves. They believe that if we hadn't attacked Iraq, the terrorists wouldn't be so mad at us and might not be at war against us.

So what if they finally badger our policy makers into withdrawing from Iraq before the Iraqi security forces are capable of assuming the job themselves? Will this withdrawal make us less of a target for the terrorists? Or will we have to withdraw our support for Israel as well? Perhaps join the terrorists in attacking Israel? How about our presence in Saudi Arabia?

The uncomplicated answer is that no matter what we do, policy-wise, we will remain infidels with gigantic bull's-eyes on our backs unless we renounce our capitalistic ways, destroy our churches and synagogues, outlaw our pluralistic religious society, convert to a radical Islamic theocracy and join the global jihad en route to a worldwide caliphate.

We are in this war for the long haul whether we like it or not. The only question is whether we intend to fight it or roll over in shameful appeasement until we are in a much weaker position to fight at such time as even the appeasers realize we have no other choice.

Answer 4

I don't really care about Iraq, but I care for our soldiers. So have a good laugh when you see an ARAB sitting next to you at the airport , hope you feel safe enough to laugh. sincerely, A Republican

Answer 5

I think the Iraq war is going sort of downhill, but it is still going well. I think Israel lost the war because they did not kill hezbollah, now he is going to be able to regroup and become more powerful thant before. Then he will attack Israel or commit another act of war. We are winning the war on terrorism. Just listen to how much they hate us now than before. Also, plots are being foiled all the time now.

Answer 6

Well we may not be "winning" the war on terror but we are establishing a foothold to work from in the future.

I know one war we did win. The Revolutionary. This means that we don't care what anyone from the UK thinks.

And honestly if you get out of line in any way...we will B itch slap you like we did back in the day.

So go kiss your queens A ss and pray we don't decide to beat up our little brother again.

Answer 7

How is Obama great? How is he good news to this crappy economy? The economic climate here is not all Bush's fault. Do you remember Clinton and their association with Freddie Mac and Frannie Mae? The set of events were not favorable for Bush and therefore effecting McCain because Obama associated the two.

Answer 8

Would you PREFER we walk away from Iraq and turn it over to Hezbollah??? Then you can pay 400 dollars a Barrel for oil. At least America has the BALLS to STAND up and FIGHT the terriost. Unlike some countries like SPAIN that simply Kiss the Terriost @ss. When FRANCE falls to there RADICAL Muslim population we here in AMerica will be LAUGHING our @sses Off. I only PRAY they ask for our help LOL so we can tell them to
F U C K Off and Die. Keep your Head up your @ss and PRETEND the terriost will simply go away. Will see how much you Laugh when your Living under the LAW of the Koran.

Answer 9

The war on terrorism will never be truly won until the Earth is liberated from ALL radical muslim animals.

The war in Iraq has been over for a great while.

Israel bowed to international pressure instead of sending a clear message by killing all Hellsblowa and the "innocent civilians" that harbor them.

Answer 10

So do you suggest we all just quit and let them take over. Maybe you like the rape rooms and cruel way Women are treated by Muslim terrorists. Or should we wait till they can nuke a few cities. You need to open your eyes to whats going on around the world and the cruelties that need to be stopped because they are not afraid to admit their agenda is world domination and submission.
