Could someone explain exactly, with citation, how much the war in Iraq affects terrorism?

Question

Republians love to say "it's vital to the war on terror"... but I don't think I've ever seen one actaully discuss to what degree, and why they think so...

Republicans, time to pull out those facts you always talk about....

and which "terrorists" exactly are you after... there are terrorists of some sort in every nation in the world...

ahem... if I wanted opinion, I would have read every other Iraq war question on here where the exact same tired, trite, simplistic ideas are stated...

Answer 1

The war in Iraq has nothing to do with Terrorism, and the real terrorists are the globalists anyway, so there won't be another attack, until they feel it is necessary to get us to be more accepting of their vision of the NWO. Right now, they are still cocky enough to believe that they can keep us hoodwinked. But the people as a whole, the majority, are beginning to wake up, and we are not as stupid as they think we are!

Answer 2

Well what Republicans are going to say (with citation) is that there has not been a single terrorist attack on US soil since the war in Iraq started.

However, since there was almost no anti-terrorism program in the US before 9/11/Iraq war it is extremely hard to tell if the war in Iraq is the reason for no terror attacks on the US or if it's because of things like Homeland security which didn't exist before 9/11.

Answer 3

Who ever it was that came up with this whole war on terror idea is a marketing genius. You cannot defeat terrorism as it's not just one thing in one place. It's not a political system. It's not a nation. It's an act. How can you wage war against an action? America found a way to sell it to the public and as you can see by the fellow before me. America is eating it up.

I cannot see how invading a country two years after a war started has anything to do with that war. Basically, terrorism is used as a blanket excuse to invade as many countries as Bush pleases. I'm sorry patriots but the fact is just that.

To me, it's allot like the Easter Bunny. Rabbits don't lay eggs. We all know that. But it's accepted anyway. Ironic how this is related to Christianity to.

Answer 4

Answer 5

All it is doing is keeping the muslims in Iraq so they can kill Americans there instead of killing civilians in the US.

Islam a peaceful religion??? Millions of these sons-of-bitches are plotting as we speak to destroy our country and our way of life any way they can. Some of them are here among us now. They don't want to convert you and don't want to rule you. You are a vile infestation of Allah's paradise. They don't give a crap how "progressive" you are, how peace-loving you are, or how much you sympathize with their cause. They want you dead, and think it is God's will for them to do it. Some think if we give them a hug or listen to them, then they'll like us... and if you agree? Then you are a Idiot!
If they manage to get their hands on a nuke, chemical agents, or even some anthrax -- you will wish to God we had hunted them down and killed THEM while we had the chance. Stop bitchin' about your damn Health Care, Social Security, Gas prices, and your measly 4.50% unemployment rate...and start worrying about you, your family's, and your friends' asses.
How many more Americans must be beheaded. You've fallen asleep AGAIN, morons! And you may not get another chance!
