There were 12 hijackers, and 1 financier. How do we know that this wasnt ALL of them. Are there more? should we already be finished with the war on terror? Maybe that was all of them. Maybe Osama could only find 12 radicals. Where is this leading us too?

Interesting thought, but not likely. For any military operation, it takes about 10 people behind the lines to support the front line soldier. So for 12 hijackers, there must be more supporters somewhere. After all, they received money and instructions from someone. Osama is still locating radicals, if he's alive, so that shouldn't be a problem for his organziation.
Yes, the war should be over, but like most wars, it most likely didn't go according to plan. I doubt that anyone expected the religious factions in Iraq to take up arms against each other and be willing to use car bombs to kill civilians.

First off Bush had the Bin Laden family in Texas the day the planes hit. He got them out safely. This is documented by the Department of Homeland security. 2nd Building 7 was never hit by any planes or falling debris from the twin towers yet it collapsed due to the building manager demolishing it himself. Third there were NO ARABS ON FLIGHT 77!!! Also documented by the department of homeland security. 4th some of the "alleged hijackers" are alive and had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks at all. In fact the CIA helped one if not all of the "alleged hijackers" escape the country all together. THESE R DOCUMENTED FACTS THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY HAS!!!!! So maybe our government is too messed up that it is willing to plot with Bin Laden's family to arrange an attack on our own country. Think about that one next time and ask yourself why these details "failed" to reach the American public.

Well I am not sure. I seriously doubt that was all the extremists. The war on terror was almost finished when the president flew onto the aircraft carrier and said that major combat operations were over. (Even though Iraq has nothing to do with alqueda) Then we sent Paul Bremen in to mop up and hand over the keys. He eliminated the bath party (Risky but understood) Then he fired the Iraq army all 300,000 of them and sent them home jobless and mad. They keep all their weapons at home. Guess who the insurgents are? Now who can we give Iraq to? Without any army to defend Iraq we could be there for decades. We were supposed to be out sometime in early 1993. This is probably the worst decision making in US history as far as I can tell.
GOD has a way of teaching us lessons. This one is a doosey. I wonder what it is GOD is trying to tell us?
May GOD richly bless you through Christ Jesus.

How do we know that is isn't all of them? I mean really, look at the news. You will see people in other countries burning our flag, chanting "Death to America," taliban training camps. There are MORE than just those 12. Remember a couple of years ago when one of the US destroyers got attacked? There was a huge gaping hole in the side of it, I think it was the USS Cole. Remember the first bombing on the World Trade Center? These were done by different people.
If there were just the 12 that helped Osama, how come we haven't found him by now? He has to have more than just the 12, because he has people helping him hide.

Well, it's painfully obvious that wasn't all of them. We will never be finished with the war on terror... Terrorism will always exist in one form or another. Bush's recent admission to secret prisons and now the law that it's ok to use torture to get information is a form of Terrorism in itself. It would be just as constructive to say we are going to war against Hate... but even if it appears that no one is hating others, you know they still do.
I believe it's leading our own economy right down the tubes. If we continue on this path, we aren't going to be much of a "Super Power".

A bomb threat toward 7 NFL stadiums and even though it's 'unconfirmed' as they say, they should remember the warning b/4 9/11 and it was tossed around. I hope our leaders have a plan because I remember pres of Iran a couple of months ago saying he had 7 sites in US WITH informers getting ready. Population problem helped anyway.

More than half of the so called hijackers are alive and well working for Haliburton in the middle east. The rest of the extremists are lead by Bush and his cronies.

In all likelyhood, they weren't the only ones. They may have been but probably not. Every religion has their sect of crazy extremists, and usually that's a higher number than 12.

The terrorists were not the only extremists. The United States, by attacking Iran and killing thousands of innocent civilians, not to mention our own soldiers, can also be considered an extremist nation guilty of comitting terror.

The bigger question is why hasn't U.S catch Osama. If we catch Osama then U.S will loose interest in Iraq. If we let him be then We can go on with this war.
