    Ive been in the military for 10 years now.

    I can honestly say that everyone is safer. The amount of work that we put in for extra protection and training after 9/11 is borderline rediculas.

    The training and extra "watches" we are doing now is almost triple than what it was before that point. But many of you dont see that so I would understand if you dont think we are.

    How do other articles on a web site make this one factually false? that's right.. they don't. :rolleyes:

    You still haven't sourced anything that proves it was terrorism, nor have you proven any of the sources I've given to be incorrect.

    You really should just go back to all the personal insults, you're much better at them than actually trying to debate :D

    Source?

    He said saddam didn't order it. He said Iraq didn't order it. That doesn't mean there were not ties. There were. You're twisting things.

    I've covered it here:

    Read, learn and choose not to ignore the truth by masking it with words that don't match reality.

    You are actually going to to take one sentence out of an entire website that is DEVOTED to anti-Semitism and cling to it so desparately that you will not concede that you are wrong?

    :rolleyes:

    Well, at the very least you're diligent in your position. However ludicrously wrong and insane it may be.

    Right, that's why I was asking you to move.

    So you admit, you can't say something positive about America without a "but" or "just" to focus on the negative?

    Thanks, you made my point.

    You're not actually using a bill clinton speech as proof that the uss cole was terrorism are you?

    That's like using a bush speech as proof that iraq had wmd :D :D

    That's exactly why I didn't justify that post with a response. It was a trife attempt at best. If you're going to spin something, at least TRY to do it a little better.

    I didnt read the full question, just the thread title. :)

    My answer to that is no.

    To me thats like asking if you think the crocodile hunter is safer because he plays with sting rays.

    No speech needed, though some people *still* intentionally lie and say there were no wmd, right yo? Credibility isn't important, on the message matters.

    You see, not everyone is so filled with partison hate that they cannot take the good with the bad from a president just because he is affiliated with another party. You don't seem to grasp that, however.

    So you don't actually debate the fact that the people who did it were Al Qaida members (terrorists), then? So your presumption is that was somehow a legitimate military operation? Which is fine by me, then its a declaration of war; to which is currently responding to (and you are opposed to). Either way. Someone's on the wrong side :rolleyes:

    If I am responding to pro-Bush comments then the words deluded and ignorant are very fitting.

    You are right about the 9/11 attacks, they were carried out by people from the middle-east. So invading Iraq was$ the perfect solution.

    Your President has already openly admitted that Iraq/Saddam had no connection with 9/11.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3118262.stm

    He will continue to link 9/11 to his Iraq policy because it is a vote winner. Do you think if he bombs a few other countries then America will be even safer?
