So, you're pleased with Bush's war on terrorism?

Question

The majority of the hijackers on 9/11 were Saudis. The leaders who planned the attack were Saudis. What actions have been taken against Saudi Arabia?
Bush has spent billions of dollars on this war. Have any of the people responsible for 9/11 been brought to justice?
Has the threat of terrorism been eliminated, or has it increased?
By what standard are you judging the Bush administration as effectively fighting terrorism?

If you think I'm a Democrat, you are mistaken. My solution to 9/11 and terroism would more explosive and directed at those responsible.

Answer 1

What you stated is something that I have repeated on this forum countless times, and yet these plain facts seem to bounce off the heads of Bush supporters the way bullets bounce off of Superman. They are oblivious to the fact Bush’s so called “War on Terror” does not truly address the progenitors of terror; namely Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Saudi Arabia provides much of the financing and ideological foundation for Islamic terror groups like Al Qaeda, and Pakistan offers the theological and military training grounds (think Madrassas) and it was in that country that the Taliban was born, and it is in Pakistan’s Western border region where many top Al Qaeda and Taliban officials are being harbored.

Bush’s closest action to ending Islamic terror was attacking the Taliban in Afghanistan, and rooting out some Al Qaeda terror cells that existed in that region. But this was a futile effort, since he has diverted most of our military resources to Iraq, thus leaving Al Qaeda and the Taliban free to regroup and rebuild their infrastructures.

The truth of the matter is George Bush’s war isn’t a “War on Terror” as much as it is a war to divert your attention from the failure of their “War on Terror”.

Answer 2

Dubai Dubya bypassed bin Laden in Afghanistan in order to get a cheap, showy victory against the Taliban. He picked Iraq as the next cheap, showy victory and it seemed that way at first.

9/11 was never intended to be a continuous policy by Al Qaida. It was a lot like the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo a few months after Pearl Harbor. I imagine the Japanese right-wingers got some political support for the next few years for "preventing further attacks on the mainland."

Draft the Bushwhackoffs or their sons and they'll be singing a different tune.

This jihad was incubated in Saudi Arabia when their OPEC price-gouging financed madrassahs to brainwash Moslems around the world. These terrorists are also financed by oil money. The picture of sissy Bush holding hands with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia should have been used in a campaign poster by the Democrats. The fact that it wasn't shows how both the Preppy parties are united against America.

Answer 3

A tall order for the President to be responsible for when it is not him who determines all matters, but strange how it lands him a check or a minus what ever happens while he is in the White House. Strange questions like these show a great ignorance about Government Policies. Everyone would be learning these policies and make a difference within the system instead of always being onlookers with irresponsible actions and ideas with big mouths! Bush's war on terrorism is just a part of the big picture...perhaps you need an education!

Answer 4

I am pleased we have not been attacked again. I am pleased Pres. Bush is taking the threat seriously. You cannot judge Saudi Arabia for the hijackers just like America cannot be judged by the Oklahoma bombing. The people responsible for 9/11 are to numerous to count. The responsible ideology is Islamic Jihadism. I take that seriously, as does Bush.

Answer 5

Not pleased with the war on terror.

No action against Saudi Arabia.

No one has been brought to justice other than Zacarias Moussaoui. Other suspected terrorist are just nameless prisoners at Guantanamo Bay who have never been brought to justice because they haven't been heard in a court of law.

There's always the threat of terrorism. I could take a gun downtown and start shooting people. No amount of counter-terrorism intelligence is going to stop that.

We need to wake up and realize that the "war on terrorism" isn't anything more than a way to make money and control people.

There is no standard to judging this war because there isn't really a war. It's like the "war on drugs". Did we win that one? or are we still fighting it? Whatever wins elections I guess.

Answer 6

yes, Bush has been effective in the war on terror.
just because the hijackers nationalities were Saudi-doesn't mean that Saudi Arabia gave the green light to those attacks-they were carried out by a group of religious zealots.

Answer 7

The threat on terrorism has increased, and we (america) are so far behind in our security measures, (we have very little Port Security) our airlines still suffer from threats, and we seem to be obsessed in the Middle East, trying to get them to think the way that we do, we did not find weapons of mass destruction in Pakistan, we are now in the middle of a civil war between Iran and Iraq. Our mistake is we want people to change their ideas and cultures to fit our own, which just makes us look and act like bullys'. Then we expect North Korea to stop their missles, if you were a citizen there, would you not want your country to be safe from the Americans, If we had sanctions put on us, we would probably go to war and think nothing of it. We have no plan, as to how to fight this war, we need to change stategeys, we want world peace but, do nothing to promote it, when 9/11 happened we were told that it would, and did nothing, what it showed the world was that America is NOT invinceable like we would like to percieve ourselfs...America ( Bush ) is creating more discord in the world, and if we do not watch our backs, we will be at war with China. Then we can kiss our a**es GOODBYE

Answer 8

Are you talking about the Dictator Dumbya Big Lie Iraqi Crusade?
The recent National Intelligence Estmate saying that the risk of terrorism has INCREASED because of Dictator Dumbya is more than I, or anyone else, can add or detract from. And now Dumbya himself is quoted as saying that his Crusade is for oil. Down with Dictator Dumbya!!

Answer 9

Have you heard of Khalid Shaik Muhammed? I guess not as it probably was not mentioned on the Al Franken show.

1. Afgahnistan was a terrorist camp and safe haven for Al Quaid. Not any more!

2. Threat increased? How many American embassies or buildings have been destroyed lately? 0

3. Countless plots thwarted here and abroad.

I'd say that their doing a pretty good job.

Why do most people that ask these loaded questions never read the newspaper or do any research?

Answer 10

Bin Laden's finances came from the U.S. during the construction of the King Faisal Airforce Base. He continues to receive funding from our Saudi "friends". Really surprising that there hasn't been a major attack yet with the election tomorrow.

Bin Laden very much wants Bush and his buddies to stay in office, and will certainly do something major prior to the 2008 elections.
