Do you believe we are losing the war on terror?

Question

I do, for these simple facts

1. we didn't catch Bin Laden, you can say we ruined his life, and he's living in a cave somewhere but we dont know where he is, he could be in a mansion in saudi Arabia for all we know

2. According to reports being done by the government (not the democrats or republicans) Al Qeada is as strong as it was when they attacked us.

3. We have given up some of our freedoms to make America safer, I know some of people don't care that the government can wiretap your phone, or get a secret warrent to arrest people but I certainly do, those sound like gestapo techniques to me

4. We are arguing amongst ourselves, boths parties are agasint each other and fall back on name calling and don't try to work together, both think they are right and won't listen

5. The world supported us after 9/11 and now they don't, It's a global economy, we should at least listen to what other countries say and consider it.

I blame this on our leaders.

how about why you agree or disagree too please.

keith you make some good points, but we had much more support after 9/11 then we do now and I dissagree completely on giving up freedoms, it's a lot harder to get them back then to keep them, and law abidding citizens are affected, the gestapo didn't become the gestapo overnight.

Answer 1

I completly agree for all of those reasons and then some. Most notably, our failing economy and the fact the our government has adressed virually no issues in our country since this Presidency started. We are being ignored. Our needs are being pushed aside. We are being lied to. We have poor health care and a declining moral. Bush should be shot. Yeah, shot.

Answer 2

I do not believe we're losing the war on terror.
1)because we haven't caught Bin Laden does not mean we won't catch him. I think he's hiding in Pakistan and we need to crack down on them letting him hide there.
2)Al Qeada is back to 911 strength but it's leadership has been mangled.
3)I don't mind giving up certain freedoms to keep our country safe from terrorists. I don't think law abiding citizens are affected in any way by what you describe as Gestapo techniques.
4)We've argued amongst ourselves for over two hundred years. What's new?
5)The same countries that didn't support us after 911 pretty much still don't and by and large the countries who did support us then still do.
I blame it on Bill Clinton for not doing anything about during his 8 years in office. We're paying for his lip service and lack of action now.

Answer 3

no be counted if or no longer it became an interior activity (republicans can not instruct it wasn't, yet likewise it can not be shown it became), the "conflict on Terror" is an entire farce immediately. Halliburton in Iraq is disgraceful, leeching oil income off the Iraqi human beings for our government's fattened wallets. Oh, whilst we are on the subject of dishonoring the troops, do you undergo in suggestions whilst our president talked approximately this conflict (and as a result, the rigorous artwork of our nice adult males and ladies in the militia) in basic terms a "comma in historic past"? Our president desires to show regret for that. Fourth answerer, why could we take a KKK member heavily, including your self?

Answer 4

You blame it on our leaders? Would that be George Bush? Don't forget, we allowed his party to steal the election in 2000. We allowed his party apparatus to steel the election in 2004. We the people are responsible for the government of this country. We bear sole responsibility for letting our elected leaders make a complete fool of our nation in the face of the world. We must own our place in supporting the open efforts of Mr. Bush and the Republican apparatus when we had the opportunity to send them back to hell where they belong in 2004. Since we don't have the guts to do anything about the problems of our nation, we must lie in the bed we've made. Mr. Feingold, Senator from Wisconsin is the only member of either house with the courage and wisdom to speak out against the power conglomerate that Mr. Bush and his vice-president rule. The fine Senator from Minnesota who opposed the corruption and graft in Washington was killed outright to quiet him up. We have "evolved" into a 3rd world country politically, and we aren't doing anything about it.

You ask retorical questions, and come to a retorical answer. You are wrong. It isn't our leaders. It is the greed, paranoid cowardace and the bullying nature of the American People who put us in this place. Since we don't wish to face our own constitutional responsibility as citizens, we will wait until the beast goes away in 2008. What a waste of our natural wealth this war of Mr. Bush's has been...

Answer 6

No, I don't.

Until there are no fanatical Islamic terrorists bent on killing as many Americans as possible, this war will go on. It will speed up, it will slow down.

9/11 changed the world. Many people want to live in the pre 9/11 world. It is gone.

Answer 7

See the Bilderberg site for some enlightenment.

Answer 8

Forget the war on terror. We can't even keep our own cities safe from natural disasters and human negligence. Katrina and the bridge collapse are two examples.

Answer 9

I believe that congress wants us to believe we are losing just to say that it is Bush`s fault.
Since when is a global economy good for the USA?
