Look at the angry responses.

Answer 1

I read somewhere facts hurt NEOCONS and I believe that's true.
America is really in bad shape if I have to go by what I see here.

Answer 2

i don't lose it, in fact i do all i can to ask ppl to wake up to the danger he and his followers present all non-Muslims or other Muslims that do not adhere to his radical views.

perhaps the way you worded that questions has to do with the personal attacks for it seems to imply that you think they are now being nice upon the advise from nice 'clerics' and have made no attacks on america and are giving us time to convert to Islam.

they are still very busy and listed below are some recent activities globally that refute that premise:

8/18/07 ( Doda, India ) - The body of a 26-year-old woman is found murdered days after she was taken by the Mujahideen.
8/18/07 ( Kandahar, Afghanistan ) - Fifteen Afghans, mostly civilians, are blown to bits by a suicidal Sunni along a highway.
8/18/07 ( Miran Shah, Pakistan ) - A suicide bomber detonates at an army checkpoint, killing at least one Pakistani.
8/17/07 ( Khyber, Pakistan ) - Seven people are killed in clashes between radical Islamist groups.
8/17/07 ( Rajouri, India ) - A civilian is kidnapped and killed in captivity by radical Muslims.
8/17/07 ( Baramulla, India ) - A policeman and his elderly father are brutally murdered inside their hom by Islamic militants.

Answer 3

Throw your coursework interior the bin and initiate back with a different chief. we don't even understand if bin weighted down is ineffective or alive so i might say he became a enormously undesirable chief, and a foul occasion on your coursework. Use Kim Jong-il rather, a minimum of all of us understand what he's as much as.

Answer 4

"BJ" Clinton had the opportunity to take Bin Laden FLAT-OUT, but chose to look the other way. Intelligent move, Bubba! Don't look now, but here comes another Clinton lookin' to be 'da man!

Do you liberals really know what the definition of a "neo-con" is, or do you just like using it because you think it sounds cool?

Answer 5

He is still a threat, but nowhere near to the capacity as pre-9/11. There has not been a major coordinated Al-Qaeda attack in years. As of now Al-Qaeda is made up of rogue terrorists blowing themselves up in Iraq. Some guy who can't show his face anywhere in the world, and who is likely already dead is not currently a big threat to America.

Answer 6

Since Conservatives are the main ones that believe we need to keep up the war on terror, you question makes no sense.


Whether Bin Laden is alive or not makes no difference, what he created is still very much a threat.

Answer 7

You can't paint all neo-cons with the same brush as that one. Some of them do find Bin Laden a threat. But speaking of the others--it IS weird, isn't it, that they keep bringing up the looming threat of terrorism and suitcase bombs and "fighting them over there so we don't have to do it over here" about IRAQ, which never attacked us, and ignore the real Al Qaeda and possibly Bin Laden on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, isn't it?

ETA: Jungle Joe, Clinton froze his assets and signed an executive order authorizing his assassination. Pay attention to our current and future administrations, instead of dwelling sulkily in the past.

Answer 8

Bin Laden is no threat. Actually I believe he is dead. Now there may be some high level folks in what was his organization that are making plans as they always have done. The more the liberals focus on Bin Laden the more the real terrorist will be left alone to do their planning.

Answer 9

I doubt bin laden is still alive. but I do think he is still a threat, well, at least what he has created

Answer 10

You already lost. Your good buddy Bin Laden is dead. Sorry to break the bad news to you Libby.
