They say they'd rather be fighting them there than fighting them here but how does that work?

Question

Can you please tell me how that would work? I hadn't heard they had an Air Force or an Armada, so how do they amass enough fighters to bring the fight to us, I thought they were rag tag bands of insurgents and terrorists living in camps, or are there really magic carpets that they would fly here on? Are they Stealth carpets that radar wouldn't detect? Help me understand this please, thank you.

Because otherwise you're just saying we'll have another terrorist attack and the experts already say that's about a certainty so maybe if we stopped helping the bastards recruit we'd have fewer of them to fight, is this faulted lagic and how so?

Answer 1

I like your question, but remember not to confuse people with the facts. You remind me of the days of Vietnam, when Lyndon Johnson annouced that the North Vietnamese Navy had attacked the 7th Fleet, so we had to go to full scale war with them. I immediately realized this to be a crock, just as you have with "them coming here." All I could imagine was a bunch of Vietnamese rowing out in Sampans and throwing harpoons at the USS Enterprise. Of course it much later was revealed to be a hoax on the public as a way to permit a war with Vietnam. We could together picture a camel train east and across the Aleutian Islands to Alaska, thereby exposing us to an all out attack from the north.
As to your problems with posting, it has happened to me several times, especially if I mentioned Cheney in the question. They wouldn't come up for hours after being posted, presumeably after all but the most diehard all nighter Americans had gone to bed. I had the strong feeling certain subjects were under scrutiny by someone, Yahoo or higher up. I don't know what to tell you, but keep on trucking. Nice questions.

Answer 2

Well could they be talking about the terrorist not having anyone left to fight over there anymore after all the slaughtering they will do after we leave, and the terrorist will be free to sneak in over our borders and start blowing thing up. Duh?

Answer 3

Your logic is the same as "why did we motivate the Japanese to attack us by responding to Pearl Harbor"

Answer 4

They don't want any more innocent Americans to get killed and don't care about innocent Iraqis.

Answer 5

It would work just how it works for them in other parts of the world, by infiltration and terrorist attacks. They don,t need an air force or Amanda for that. They are not a rag tag band, they are well equipted highly funded and led by very capable leaders. Yes there could be another terrorist attack. The probability of them succeeding is highly dependent on the efforts our government takes to prevent it. The only way we will have fewer of them to fight is to kill them just as they are dedicated to our destruction. Ignoring them and thinking they will then suddenly go away illogical because they have been attacking us long before and since we started fighting back.
