Doesn't that prove Ron Paul to be right about how the War on Iraq has made us less safe?

Where're the people who want to close Guantanamo and prevent the government to track terrorists?

That's a big yes. The problem with Bush's policies on terrorism is that they are too military focused and do not effectively use available diplomatic or economic means to fix the problem. Terrorism is tactic but it contains a lot of non military factors such as good governance and economics attached to it. To simply throw money and firepower at the problem will not make it go away. To truly defeat groups like Al-Qaida we need policy that is uses not just military force but economic and diplomatic solutions in one coherent policy.

mmmm tough question - well first off are they really regaining? or is that he liberal media bias against the Bush Administration? (Which it looks like you are buying - hook, line and sinker) Is life better in the region? Young girls are not slaves and can now go to school (improvement or not?) The people are not living in fear of Al-Qaida's genocide (improvement?)
Do you think we are safer in the last 6 years? I do
Do you think all aspects of the War are being told? I don't
Do you think we would have been better off with Al-Gore or John Kerry at the helm I really don't

Dear - ,
I don't think so. The Al Qaida thickening has occured in Pakistan - we are having some talks with the leader there so things are a bit up in the air reference attacking on Pakistani ground. The AQ has moved into some areas of Afghanistan and it will be interesting to see how this works. The UN is not stupid nor is it fearful - we'll have to wait and see.

No its an indictment of the American people for not allowing the President to do what needed to be done, which is hunt these people down like animals. When Al-Qaida knew the American people were going to constrain the government they grew stronger because we as Americans were sleeping again, its our fault.

The U.S. doesn't want to invade Pakistan to get to them. The also might not be at full strength because these people are new and information we get from this group is very shady at best. Just because somebody says they are Al Queda doesn't mean they are. It's not like there is offical roll sheet or I.D. handed out.

Sort of. Al Qaeda is gaining strength in Pakistan, but it's getting weaker in Iraq and Afghanistan. So that means Bush's policies on Iraq and Afghanistan are good, but only his policy on Pakistan is bad. The Democrats disagree with him on Iraq, but they agree with his policy on Pakistan. So really, they're not any better.

Yes it shows Bush's policy isw a dismal failure.
What that has to do with Ron Paul I don't know.

Al Qaeda is hiding in Pakistan... Key word "Hiding".... They are cowards running away from a fight..... We cant go after them since the Pakistani govt. wont let us...
So my opinion is they havnt gained strength, they've only regained numbers....

Yeah, because we have been attacked so often here at home. Good job spiting someone elses opinion out.
