please click/read http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070712/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_terror_threat

remember, no matter how you feel about the Bush Administration or any prior Administrations, it seems people should be able to honestly understand and acknowledge...
"The No. 1 enemy in Iraq is al-Qaida," White House press secretary Tony Snow said Wednesday. "Al-Qaida continues to be the chief organizer of mayhem within Iraq."

Do you agree?

Answer 1

I completely agree. I am fed up with people regurgitating what the media tells them to think, in effect, removing the focus from a major issue that is still...no matter what, TRUE. Have a star!

Answer 2

No, I do not agree.

For one thing several times the number of deaths occur each year due to Narcho-terrorism, rather than "religious" terrorism.

Indeed, the deliberate misdirection of Al Qaida to religion is intended to allow fort further sales of opiates. (Al Qaida is an opiate distributor <--- this distribution is in direct contradiction to Muslim Religious Law.)

So, in so much as Al Qaida is a Narcho-terrorist Group I exult GWB in his efforts.

But, as we have destroyed the most likely means of destroying Al Qaida (the Tally Ban). I bark derisive statements at GWB.

The Tally Ban, months prior to invasion, and this is THE likely "CAUSE" of 9-11, ordered all opiate producers and traffickers executed. This was for religious reasons. Real religious reasons, rather than the "religious reasons" "found" to support drug trafficking for fun and profit" that Al Qaida seems to love so much to reference. The Tally Ban was going to cut the head of a better than 2.5 trillion dollar dope "business" in the USA. This business (with the cocaine and other dopes) kills over 4,000 people per year in this nation alone. Every Year. But, GWB, like his father, seems more interested in providing military transport for dope than stopping dope.

Al Qaida is in short a front for Non-Muslim or Fake Muslim drug trafficking. In all likelihood this is "needed" in Saudi Arabia as they are running out of oil. The top heavy murderous "royalty" there needs money to suppress democracy, which would likely do them for crimes against humanity.

So, drug cartels and those billionaires that employ them are the real enemy. Not a largely fictitious religious cult that in it's very existence is in fact becoming a self fulfilling prophesy.

And no, given the fact that dope is quite possibly about 1/4 to 1/2as large as our GNP there is no way the poor are at fault. Poor people do not have the billions required (even if they were to starve and go without clothes) to import dope. This problem "helps" the rich stay rich. It kills the poor. But poor people don't own newspapers. Rich do.

So, is it any wonder that when we had 97% taxes on rich people there was far less dope? Or that as soon as this was not true it exploded as a problem?

Answer 3

Of course, most people agree. Most people understand that our government is trying to stop the threat of another attack on the US (Do people still remember what happened on 9/11/01 or are we more interested in Paris or Lindsey??).

The people who insist the problem is our government, or Bush, or Karl Rove, or some kind of evil within are either looking for attention, are so consumed with hate they cannot think objectively, or were dropped on their heads as children.

Here's the problem; people do not understand our enemy. It's sad, I don't like to think it about either, but the truth is, this enemy would love nothing more than to torture and kill me and my family, put it on video and send over the internet. They would love to do that each of us. Thank God we have a military and a government in place that has prevention of this kind of thing as a top priority.

It is precisely because of our government actions and our military that we can go about our lives today, almost as if nothing happened. What the gov't and military are doing erects a barrier between US citizens and the evil terrorists. We are fortunate to live in a great nation.

Answer 4

8 years of Clinton=peace and a good economy + a surplus.
Now let us look at the other end of the spectrum,and ask ourselves this.Who has ties to the company that is getting most of the juicy no bid contracts and who has millions of shares in said company?War is almost always about economics,no matter what the so called experts tell us.After all,all an ex-spurt is,is a drip.I sure would love to see the balance of a couple of off-shore bank accounts!

Answer 5

I disagree when it comes to Al Qaeda being the number 1 enemy in Iraq. I believe that the civil war between the shiites and the sunnis is probably the biggest threat to Iraqi security. The shiites and sunnis both use death squads and militants to do their killing in humungous numbers. Al Qaeda only makes the matters worse with attacks that fuel more violence between the two rivals. Here is an article that explains the foreign prescence in Iraq.

Answer 6

Let me quote you "chief organizer of mayhem within Iraq"
Let those people kill each other so the rest of the world can have peace. It is what they want to do anyway.
Maybe it is God's way of getting rid of them.
Doesn't the bible say in the time of the end every man's hand will be against his neighbor? they will kill each other.
I say pull out and give them plenty of weapons and ammo and have their civil war. When they are all dead walk in and take over without a struggle. Isn't that actually what the government has in mind?

Answer 7

The major issue that is still TRUE is this.....more people in the United States will die in auto accidents this year than have been killed by terrorists in the last 10 years! Wake up and quit letting this administration scare you into submission!!!!! When did this country become a country full of scaredy cat sissy boys?!?!?!?

Answer 8

I agree totally, regretfully most are blind to the truth. or they just don't care, the oppion is if we just leave them alone they will play nice, How they cant see that they do not care who they kill, they kill their own people for gosh sakes, some are just down right stupid, and a whole lot of them are in Congress right now.

Answer 9

Tony Snow who works for Bush said this and look at the timing when Bush is getting questioned about things he did wrong. They always do this! Who is oblivious?

Answer 10

NO, I do NOT agree. The number one enemy is the White House, NOT the FICTIONAL "Al -Quaida."
