Ted Re...Besides, terrorists groups will use the Iraqi war to do what they like to do best.......spread terror.

Yea Yea, thats all we heard before Afghanistan too. How many attacks have we had here in the US since however. We completely routed Al qaeda from Afghanistan,and they are now trying to regroup, instead of planning attacks. If we kick them out of Iraq, they will have to spend more time regrouping. Did you also notice Iran, kicked 50 Al qaeda operatives out yesterday. The more we can keep them on the run, the less damage they are likely to do.


In the US.........there have none to my knowledge but remember it took them ten years to follow up on their first attack. However, in other parts of the world, there have been bombings such as in Bali and the hotel in Kenya frequented by Israelis that have been credited to al Qaeda. Furthermore, killings of Americans in Kuwait, Pakistan and other countries have been linked to al Qaeda.

Like I've said, the Iraqi war will increase the donations of money and increase the number of recruits for al Qaeda. What more can I say.......obviously, you see this as a minor problem.
