Not enough people consider how many more innocent deaths we would have here if they were here... Did you hear that Kerry was giving an energy speech today, after leaving on his new 757 jet? How much fuel does that burn? Or will he try that it is not his jet but his families story again... al Qaida was not in Iraq before U.S. troops moved in; however, they were hiding out in places like Hamburg, Germany & London....planning ways to sneak into the USA to blow up your local commuter train or hi-jack more planes. Today they're so busy fighting U.S. military in Iraq, they no longer have enough time to wreak havoc on an American city. That's the big picture....it's preferable for them to target our well-trained volunteer military than to target you & yours.

Yeah right, all the cells in Europe went to Iraq thereby saving us here and blowing up our soldiers instead. You really believe in comic book rightwing fantasies, don't you? Now that the first five reasons for invading Iraq turn out to be lies you're fabricating a new one. Not a single word of what you right has any basis in fact whatsoever. Get a clue.

What are you thinking??? The recruitment of Al Quaida cadre worldwide has accelerated since our invasion of Iraq.

Report: al-Qaida Ranks Swelling Worldwide May 26, 12:47 AM EDT By BARRY RENFREW Associated Press Writer LONDON (AP) -- Far from being crippled by the U.S.-led war on terror, al-Qaida has more than 18,000 potential terrorists scattered around the world and the war in Iraq is swelling its ranks, a report said Tuesday. hosted.ap.org U.S. Warns Of Al Qaeda Threat This Summer 2 hours, 17 minutes ago Add Top Stories - washingtonpost.com to My Yahoo! By Susan Schmidt and Dana Priest, Washington Post Staff Writers Federal officials have information suggesting that al Qaeda has people in the United States preparing to mount a large-scale terrorist attack this summer, sources familiar with the information said yesterday. news.yahoo.com What people like you need to do is set aside your love of one party and hate of another. Instead, make yourself more informed of what's really taking place. Our country is still woefully unprepared for another 9-11. Homeland Security is overstaffed and underfunded. The very people that are supposed to help this country in a time of National Emergency are now in Iraq. Because of this unnecessary war we've effectively gutted our military here and around the world. While we're bogged down in Iraq, OBL and other terrorists are becoming larger and more dangerous. And we've given people like Osama exactly what he wanted. He always told his followers that the US wanted to occupy an oil-rich nation. And we've done just that. He's always told his followers that America is evil. And now's he's got all kinds of prison pictures to use as recruiting posters for his "cause". We've made the situation far far worse than it was prior to 9-11. And that's truly sad. We had a wonderful opportunity to work with the world in wiping out people like bin Laden. We squandered that oppportunity. Now we're stuck all alone in Iraq with much of the world viewing us as heavy-handed, barbaric invaders. What you write below about Al Qaeda is several steps below fiction. It's uniformed partisan party nonsense. Today they're so busy fighting U.S. military in Iraq, they no longer have enough time to wreak havoc on an American city. That's the big picture....it's preferable for them to target our well-trained volunteer military than to target you & yours.
