Terrorism In Pakistan - Page 4

I only caught 2 fish today. It is al Qaeda's Fault. My tire went flat last week. It must have been al Qeada.

Do you all think that mountain folks and sheep herders are what ills the world? We have satellites that can view a pimple on my @ss, but we can't find some uneducated tribesman in the middle of a desert.

I guess they should be a good fake...I mean real enemy, beings as how they cant even use a cell phone to communicate with the world. We cant find them or communicate with them?

Did you Know that Iran is going to nuke everyone, but they cant even refine their own oil.

Come on! Is everyone really falling for this?

It is al Qaeda's fault.

We should carpet bomb everyone, because the list of threats is getting bigger.

It started off as the Afghanistan. Now it is Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Russia, Pakistan, S. Korea, and God only knows who else.

The rest of the world will be next unless we wake up as Americans and realize what is going on.

You all should watch the movie 1984. It is here, just a little late.

Quasar, I think you have misinterpreted what we were saying. It's not the mountain folk who are the ill of the world. I do not believe anyone here thinks that. al Qeada is a well organized, funded and educated organization of terror that has its origins in Iran or Saudi Arabia, both countries "ostensibly" friendly to the US. They can't find bin Laden in Afghanistan or Pakistan probably because he's in Iran with relatives. The man has a kidney problem and his dialysis machine and expert doctors are all from Iran. If the country is "friendly" with us, we can't go in there shooting up the place to find one maniac. I think the world saw how well that works in Iraq. President elect Obama has his hands full trying to undo some of the negative effects GWB has had on our world relations, he doesn't need to go shooting into a "friendly" country.

No, we can't find them or communicate with them. According to the website agiweb.org, the geology of Afghanistan/Pakistan is one of continuous plate shift and this geology hasn't EVER been adequately surveyed. With constant tectonic motion the earthquakes there make land movement impossible and a satellite can only do so much detail without a targeting co-ordinate. Without land travel or small aircraft drops it is impossible to get that targeting equipment where it is needed.

what is your source of information on this? According to Wikipedia the Iranian government stopped any and all nuclear research in 2003 after the Iran/Iraq war. The UN monitors their progress and if they had any nuclear weapons now, the world would know it in 5 minutes. As to your assertion that they can't refine their own oil, maybe not when they first started extracting it, but it is cost prohibitive for American or British oil companies to keep their own personnel in a foreign country. They taught the Iranians how to do it. They may be of a faith structure that much of the western world thinks is only out to eliminate democracy but the Iranians are not stupid people.

I can understand your being passionate about the threats against the American way of life, but if you are going to make accusations, at least check your facts first. The original nuclear threat was not Afghanistan it was the USSR which no longer exists. Communism proved it could not survive on a national scale and now the Russian Confederacy is working its way towards capitalistic democracy. South Korea is not the threat it is North Korea and Kim Yong-il is the current Prime Minister is considered to be only gesturing and has nothing to back up his threats. All of the countries you mentioned are "friendly" if not allies currently. Except Iraq ... that's a can of worms I won't get into here.

Yes it has been here for the last 8 years, it was called the GW Bush administration. Thankfully on November 2 enough intelligent people decided that four more years of Bush dynamics was 4 years too many and voted in a Democrat. Mr. Obama will have his hands full trying to straighten out the mess Bush and his cronies created.
