Do you think Bush could learn something from the only other non-Muslim country in the Mideast: Israel.........

Question

about fighting a war on terror?

Israel has been fighting the war on terror for over 30 years & counting? It NEVER ends, UNLESS you either leave the middle east or you CONTAIN the terrorists as best as you can w/ combination of good intelligence & Special forces. Since the US can't put a fence around Iraq & or Baghdad I guess they only have the other option I just mentioned.

Answer 1

Israel has been fighting them for going on 60 years now.. not 30.

Answer 2

While your facts are ascew, it's still a relatively reasonable question. Bush already HAS learned a thing or two. If you search back in time, you'll find that Jimmy Carter gutted the CIA and it's budget. That, along with Ron Reagan having sold WMD to Iraq, was the precursor to everything you're watching these last few years. Bush has dramatically inreased both budget and personnel at Langley. The Israelis have never really overly concerned themselves with world opinion. Neither has Mr. Bush. There is plenty more, but I suspect you get the drift.
Illiniangel slept through everything and is now in complete denial, living in a fantasy paradigm. Guess he or she missed the part about the first U.N. Weapons Inspector resigning in complete frustration because neither the U.N. nor Clinton would support him and his team in upholding the cease fire agreement. Eight years of playing games while members of the U.N. Security Council were busy lining their pockets with bribe money from Saddam. And Bill was busy with Monica. Is it any wonder Saddam didn't take either the U.N. or U.S. seriously? Illini seems to be so filled with hate that they can't see the forest through the trees. Perhaps if they'd stow their emotions away long enough to look solely at the bare facts. But then, that would require thought and research. They'd much rather believe the fiction that the DNC is now putting out, failing to own up to their own failures. I once had an English Comp. professor say about writing good fiction, "Truth is the skeleton onwhich the meat of the story is hung." And Mark Twain once commented that facts are stranger than fiction. Fiction must follow possibilities. Truth does not. Hmmm. And finally, "Thousands?" We've been at war in Iraq for what? Four years now? We're averaging a loss of 2.3 service personnel a day. Gen. Patton, while driving the U.S. 3d Army across France in '44, averaged a loss of 1300 men every three weeks! (save 07Nov - 08 Dec, when those numbers dramatcally increased) Concidering that the 3d Army was going up against a well trained, highly organized, uniformed and easily identifiable enemy, while today's U.S. combatants are engaged with an enemy that dresses in civilian attire, has limited training and hides behind the skirts of women and children, I'd say this war is absolutely amazing at the minimal loss of life. You're of the McDonald's generation. Full of transfats, you want it your way and you wanted it yesterday... I am sorry that I/we have let you down by allowing you to be so incredibly spoiled. Perhaps it's time to grow up a bit.

Answer 3

You see, Terrorism comes from corruption and greed. So don't keep on saying Israel or Diego Garcia or Saipan Island, etc...
Just let the country run itself!
You see, Iran was a fine country until interference of the Crusaders. Whose fault? The Crusaders!
So, who is wrong? Not Iran! The Crusaders!
That's all I can say. History creates wierd timeline, you know... If not for Einstein, There will be no Atomic Bomb, but then there will also be no Chemotherapy.
Oh well, all comes to a circle of one - It's only History Today...

Answer 4

confident, it is. besides the actuality that Lebanon is 0.5 Christian and 0.5 Muslim. Egypt, Jordan, and Syria even have an excellent Christian inhabitants. Iran has a small volume of Christians and Jews, as does Iraq. yet because of fact the State of Israel replaced into formed in 1948, maximum center jap Jews have immigrated there or someplace else interior the international. lots of the Christians come to England, united statesa., or Canada. To Chain...um...Persian is an ethnicity, no longer a faith.

Answer 5

How about this. Terrorism is the weapon of the weak, not and ideology. Israel is the target for terrorist attacks because it continues to occupy an entire people militarily. The US is a target for terrorist attacks because it uses its military might to secure its economic interests and maintain its supposed strategic interests. The lesson isn't that the war on terror can't be won. The lesson is that you reap what you sow.

Answer 6

Doc retired military-- the direct precursor to the events of the past few years was not Carter or Reagan's actions, it was Bush and Cheney's calculated lies about WMD in Iraq that have gotten us where we are.

For some reason, they wanted to go to war with Iraq, and thousands have died for it.

Answer 7

Terrorism is really confined to Iraq?

Answer 8

Yes, secure our own boarder first before securing Iraq's boarder.

Answer 9

bush is not involved in the business of learning anything.

Answer 10

bush not capable of anything arrogant and no brain
