Question

It is possible that there could be at some time many wanted terrorists in Indian territory. Does this declaration apply to India too?

Answer 1

Not long after Jefferson's inauguration as president in 1801, he dispatched a group of frigates to defend American interests in the Mediterranean, and informed Congress.

Declaring that America was going to spend "millions for defense but not one cent for tribute," Jefferson pressed the issue by deploying American Marines and many of America's best warships to the Muslim Barbary Coast.

The USS Constitution, USS Constellation, USS Philadelphia, USS Chesapeake, USS Argus, USS Syren and USS Intrepid all saw action.

In 1805, American Marines marched across the dessert from Egypt into Tripolitania, forcing the surrender of Tripoli and the freeing of all American slaves.

During the Jefferson administration, the Muslim Barbary States, crumbling as a result of intense American naval bombardment and on shore raids by Marines, finally officially agreed to abandon slavery and piracy.

Once we finally identify our enemy instead of pursuing a war against a tactic (terror), we can focus our forces against that enemy and actually win.

Until then we're thrashing against the wind.

Answer 2

Obama is displaying typical US arrogance with scant regard for the territorial rights of other nations.

There are many opinions that most of these terrorists wanted by the US are actually encouraged covertly by the CIA, a US agency. In which case Obama and his ilk ought to have no objections should any other nation launch a strike on US territory to flush out the CIA backed terrorists.

US politicians should clean up their own backyard and not meddle in other countries. Their meddling so far has produced disastrous results for all to see - millions of civilians killed in Afghanistan and Iraq - both countries reduced to a state of anarchy thanks to the US. Terrorism has been created by US actions.

Answer 3

This president decided to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and we are still without bin Laden. I am sick of an administration that is not fighting terrorism properly. The reality is that Pakistan is talking about taking action on terrorists, but they're not doing a thing. Obama is right; if President Musharraf doesn't want to take the action against terrorist holdouts in his own country, then the United States needs to take direct action. We already have diplomatic relations with Pakistan, and the areas we'd be striking are uninhabited mountains where Al-Quaida has found a safe haven.

I say shoot to kill... we need a president who is going to actively seek out these terrorist scumbags and bomb them where they think they're safe.

Answer 4

Obama isn't the brightest bulb on the tree, he was reacting to Hillary's comments about him being to much of a lap dog, and now he looks like a fool for being a unilateralist. Obama is a man that has been a senator for what, 6 weeks? What has he done? Co-sponsored 3 bills that mean nothing. He has gotten into a war of words with the wife of the ex-president, and she has done, just what? Hillary or Obama is like a competition between being dumb or dumber, neither is something you can be happy with.

Answer 5

Really im tired of it. If this were world war one or 2 every German would have had their throat slit right now. I mean no Americans actually believe that this war will keep them safer even though America hasn't been attacked successfully. Obama is retarted because only Taliban is in Pakistan and we would much rather have AL Qaeda and Hezzbollah. Actually i think Americans want Bin Laden's head in their hand to feel safe.

Answer 6

Obama said today that we need to leave Iraq so that we can fight in Afghanistan and Pakistan. That's not exactly bringing the troops home.

Answer 7

We were promised, by George Walker Bush, that the United States of America would pursue anyone that aided, abetted, or participated and any organization involved in 9-11, and either capture them or kill them, but that they would be brought to justice, no matter what price we had to pay. So, where is his promise now?

Answer 8

I don't like Obama, my sixth sense tells me he is not yet ready, looking at things too simplistically.

there is a lot more of why we haven't moved in Pakistan and taken care of Osama and his pals in there, and the reason in that THAT would destabilize the Pakistani gov and we would have another "Iraq style" mess in our hands....do we want that folks????

Answer 9

This is the beginning of the end for Obama.

Answer 10

he didnt say he'd declare war on pakistan dumbass...He would strike Al-Quieda..Its the same thing Hilllary said she would do.
