OBL is the worst threat to western civilization since Hitler. There is no basis for this statement. It is highly unlikely, in my view, that Bin Laden has significant power at this point, IF he is even alive. Once again.....when I say OBL, I mean OBL and Al Qaeda. I am trying to save time by not having to type that every time. And OBL has significant power because he is legend in the Muslim world. Why you all don't get that is beyond me. The liberals who are politicizing this (that would include YOU) are either ignoring or ignorant OF the source of Al Queda's power -- its cellular structure. This fact makes Al Queda difficult to deal with, but also minimizes the importance of any one individual. Bin Laden is NOT important, other than as a symbolic measure. Oh move on.......Al Qaeda is the primary threat and OBL plays a significant role in that threat; has been from the get go. I know this is hard for someone as political as you are but people/liberals/dems are very concerned about Al Qaeda and see them as the real threat to our civilization. It takes you all so fukking long to catch up but please, move up the pace. For this reason, a rational look at the problem leads to the conclusion that more concentrated powers such as Iraq and Iran are more critical threats. It is not illogical; its stupid thinking. A moving, underground target made up of ideologues and fanatics is always the more dangerous. We can't do much about Al Queda. We can stop Iraq in its tracks. If we don't, and we do simply what Clinton did, we'll end up with another NK on our hands. You are wrong. It is amazing to me that liberals are unable to think this through for themselves. Its amazing to me that you all can come to the above conclusions. No one knew back in '98 just how dangerous bin Laden was. Furthermore, Clinton did not have the support to take him out WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? EVERYONE, even CLINTON, BY HIS OWN ADMISSION knew what a threat Bin Laden was. What do you mean? You still don't get how serious the threat is? I will repeat it for you.........Al Qaeda is the most serious threat to western civilization since Hitler. ted
