Can any Libs read this and agree that it could be true? Any open minds out there?

Question

http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/02/sleeper_cells_in_the_united_st.html

Reading the majority of answers here is very telling. Either you didn't read the article, and simply responded to the description of it "sleeper cells....." or you didn't comprehend what this man..whom one of you called a "nut job" without investigating his credentials. The telling part, of which 90% of liberals keep pounding at is President Bush "lied" about WMD. Well re-read what this man had to say.

amatukaze - I am willing to look at all sides of any issue. I also know people working in the nuclear industry and while much more security has been put in place, more is needed. Re: Russia - I have read about their activities for many months. Why haven't you?

Answer 1

Ok...

Can you agree that it may NOT be true? Are you as open-minded as you challenge others...or does your open-mindedness only reach as far as your personal beliefs?

Have you bothered to ask yourself pertinent questions to the article? If Russia was so active, why does Bush not bring this out? If our nuclear centers are so vulnerable, why has Bush not secured them? If these sleeper cells are known enough that some one can write an unclassified article about them, why has nothing been done about them (Bush can use the WoT publicity)?

I'll wait for your answers...

EDIT:
I have been watching Russia quite closely recently being a child of the Cold War. However that still begs the question, if Russia was so active prior (and perhaps during) the run up to the war, why was this not publicized more or made more of an issue?

I by no means am suggesting this is true or untrue. Neither of us can make that assertion; however, the implication seems to be that either Russia A) hid or aided in hiding any possible WMDs, and/or B) planned to "test" weaponry with the Iraq army (already a big buyer). Either one of those are serious accusations of which little has been discussed.

Answer 2

I can't begin to imagine how anyone could disagree with his article. Unless one is naive and/or poised diametrically to our efforts to increase our national security, the elements of the article were anticipated before the first American soldier set foot in Iraq.

Too many people make the mistake of looking at the war through a straw. There is a lot more connected to this than some can possibly imagine and simply pulling out will only serve to make it worse.

Answer 3

This is a great question. (Of course, I'm not a lib...sorry) But I do have an addition to this, if it's okay with you.

Take some time and watch this video. It is an interview with 3 former, now tolerant terrorist who have turned against that way of thinking. This interview was part of the AM Morning program on CN8 in New Jersey. It tells it like it is and will surprise you as to where al Queada is breeding terrorists and where their money is coming from.

Answer 4

I agree with some of it... but he's doing a few things here that don't make any sense to me...

he seems to be making Iraq into some sort of "terrorist haven"... which I've never seen ANY EVIDENCE to support and which he really offers none to support except for EXTREMELY CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE that would work for ANY MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRY...

the simple fact is... most of these sleeper cells have terrorist links and they often rely on terrorist leadership for instructions and there is no evidence of terrorist leadership in Iraq and there are TONS OF EVIDENCE of terrorist leadership in several other middle eastern countries... YET WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THOSE COUNTRIES?

open mindedness is good, but facts are nice too... and making assumptions consistent with the facts IS KEY... which he seems to not do a whole lot...

I think there are sleeper cells here, but I think they have VERY LITTLE to do with Iraq and much to do with al-queda, Hamas, Hezbollah and others... and those are headquarted far outside of Iraq... and those should be our focus if you ask me...

the 9-11 report lays a lot of this out... and is a good place to start...

Answer 5

Gore is a hypocrite! people do no longer have that a lot potential over the ecosystem to reason international warming - to boot that is not any longer a incontrovertible reality -- a useless ringer for the "international cooling" on the early Nineteen Nineteen Seventies! i'm also so ill of persons who nonetheless say Gore gained the election. they ought to study the regulation! people do not easily choose the President. we decide the Electoral college. can not the libs get over the reality that GORE lost!

Answer 6

Yes , I do agree . Go here and read this

You know if we had the borders closed , we could check who is coming and going into the US
Sorry I couldn't get the site to work , but look up Arizona Monthly : issue 10 : Al Qaeda among us , it's a good read and could be true today .

Answer 7

Of course there could be sleeper cells in the US. But what to do about it. Do we sacrifice our freedoms in order to have a more secure country? Do we try to solve the source of why they are terrorists? Do we trust our government and our law enforcement to protect us? Do we only trust ourselves to protect us? Those are the questions answered differently by conservatives and liberals, not your question.

Answer 8

Certainly this is possible and could be a real danger. Why then keep bombing their countries for personal gain? If we had gone in and taken out Osama, and then left them alone in their own lands, they would respect us. As we continue to blow up their homeland, why would you expect us to be safe in ours? We need to lead. This cycle of violence must stop, and if it is going to, we are going to have to figure out how to make that happen, for we have much more to lose than they do, and we are much more vulnerable.

Answer 9

A load of rubbish Jewish propaganda. Complete tosh. It is so stupid that it is not worth advertising. If he could actually think and wanted to prove it he can point out that there are over 200 000 US troops in Muslim lands and civilians are being blasted every day and it will be no surprise if some nutter comes to blast us. That is thinking. Why scare dummies if you are not prepared to tell them why you think someone wants to bomb them?

Answer 10

We've had sleeper cells in this country for years. They merely choose not to attack here no, since it doesn't pay to poke a sleeping bear with a sharp stick. But so what? Does that justify Bush's incompetent policies?
