Obama says "We cannot win a war against the terrorists if we're on the wrong battlefield."

Hmm, which battlefield would Obama prefer - US soil?

I'd say yes. As a Muslim, he says he converted to Christianity--but God knows that's only for the vote, then he's in the perfect spot for the muslims around the world. To have the most powerful country in the world being ran by a muslim would be a dream come true. And like the terrorists have said, they will work from within...

Well, Al-Qaida did commit 9/11 just to get us over there, so he has a point. But yeah, where else? the solution is to hurry up and find Bin Laden. If we found him, and the rest of Al Qaida (I doubt he's last a minute in interrogation) Iraq would clear up on it;s own. This cannot be done by hiding on the other side of the ocean, especially with these open borders. I am against the war, but leaving Iraq in hell wont help us.

Plus Iraq is for restriction of the internet. He voted for passing a bill that would restrict some people's ability to free speech on Y!A.

The answer to first question that the question is irrelevant who do you mean by "our". Americans, Conservative or Big Oil. He is right Saddam Hussein was an evil dictator but not a terrorist. In fact he was in a way helping us against terrorists keeping check and balance with Iran. Now Iraq is going to be friends Iran weather you like it or not. so yes we as Americans are on a wrong battlefield fighting a war that we cannot win and fighting it for all the wrong reasons.
answer to the second question is "Yes". First we have to secure USA secure our borders have secure airports and help secure other countries. As you should know it was CIA who helped Saddam to become so called president of Iraq. We financed Saddam (your favorite Reagan did) to fight against Iran. What makes you think Iranians will have soft corner for Americans. Now there is two solutions 1) take over the world 2) let the people of the land make decision for themselves and stop sticking you nose everywhere.

Of course. Obama is a joke. He has no strategies and no alternatives to offer. All the people like Obama must want a war on U.S. soil, if they don't want it in the Middle East. Did they not learn anything from a little thing called September 11? He's probably the second most pathetic potential candidate on the Dem's side. I'm ashamed to be from [my beloved state] a state that elected him.

I think any group or individual claiming to be Al-queda or wants or does anything in the name of Jihad..is the enemy.
There have been 6 attacks on U.S. soil already...but only by individuals and the Gov't and local authorities call it an isolated incident and non terror related...which I believe is B/S and should be considered as an attack because those individuals were carrying out attacks under the Jihadist flag.
This is why we need to monitor and infiltrate mosques and re-evaluate visas of students, tourists and doctors of Muslim religion.

Whether we like it or not, Obama is right.

Here is the Arithmetic. There are 2 Billion followers of the Islamic faith in the World. If only 1 percent were radicals who wanted to harm our country, that figure would be 2 million radical muslims worldwide.

Our national tragedy of 9-11 was accomplished by fewer than 50 radical muslims.

It isn't rocket science to come to the understanding that there are plenty of radical muslims worldwide to plot and strike against our country.

Al Qaeda has plenty of resources to perform their vile acts in Iraq and in the U.S. simultaneously.

I wish that our President was always right and always displayed good judgement. We know now, by history that he does not.

As a vet who proudly rode with the Blackhorse along the Cambodian border who has a son who just ETS's from the U.S. Army last fall and as one who loves his country, I beseech everyone of every political pursuasion to not support the failed policies of the Bush Administration.

Iraq is going to have its civil war whether we pull our troops in ten minutes or in ten years. The fact is that the Shia hate the Sunni and vice versa.

Let's redouble our efforts in the necesary war in Afghanistan and get our troops the Hell out of the circle jerk in Iraq.

Try Afghanistan.

We might have ended this by now if we hadn't chose to whip Saddam Hussein's rear end. Hell five years off, Osama Bin Laden probably has pimped out his cave nicely with cable a hot tub and a few virgins to tide him over until he reaches the promised land.

Obviously, because it is only logical that terrorists would be here rather than at home. Only makes sense. The training camps and all related stuff would have been moved way before the first retalitory troop stepped upon the ground.

The apple never falls far from the tree. Obama may realize it is easier to destry a country from the inside, rather than an assault on our borders. I am sure that Obama would welcome the agressors with open arms, while trying to convince the rest of America to embrace islam.

what battlefield???
probably a covert one that has shown more success than anything on the ground.
Even and intelligence analyst on the No Spin Zone, stated that we can't fight guerilla tactics with conventional methods.
The only way to fight a terrorist is to catch him/her before the act by using counter terrorist intel. If you try to fight them on the ground you end up with them blowing themselves up to take as many people with them as they can.
