......Testimony from a U.S. terrorist-turned-witness in British court cases has revealed how young Britons are trained for attacks at terrorist camps in tribal areas of Pakistan. Evans said though Pakistan remains a key training ground for Britons, similar centers are emerging elsewhere. Al-Qaida in Iraq is attempting to stage attacks outside Iraq and parts of East Africa, particularly Somalia, have become a key area for training and planning of attacks on Britain, he said...... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071105/ap_on_re_eu/britain_spy_chief The question now for Bush is: "Should he stay the course?"
You should stay the course of not posting useless threads, there is no comment or discussion noticeable in your thread, its designed to create arguments among others, thus increase your sharing adsense revenue.
There's no need to. al qaida in iraq is defeated, violence is down, the surge has worked (much to the dismay of some). It's time to come home. I'd rather watch them kill themselves. It's what they do.
Al Qaida wasn't in Iraq until we toppled their goverment, this has been proven many times over, so lets not go into debate about it.
That's incorrect. zarqawi was in Iraq prior to the invasion. I've covered this many times over the years in this very forum. A part from being inaccurate, it's also a poor excuse.
He had enough control to once use the WMD that some say he didn't have to kill kurds. The full story is, zarqawi was there, before the invasion, training terrorists.
He was there, in the north where Saddam had pretty much zero control. He was in the territory of our 'allies' not Saddam. To blame Saddam for it, or the Iraq nation under Saddam is simply foolish to say the least. --- When he used chemical weapons was also years before was it not? Things changed, no fly zones, autonomous north, you know facts..
Are you serious? After taking away THEIR resources by creating a conflict, you saying it's THEIR conflict? Give me a break.
You mean Turkey's enemy.. America is best at this, create a friend here then backstab, make the enemy friend...etc..goes on and on..
Whose blaming anyone? I'm not going to stand up for saddam. zarqawi was in Iraq, prior to the invasion. It's fact. I suppose someone could interject opinions in an attempt to quell the facts, but it doesn't change the fact. Does it matter when saddam killed people? He killed throughout his reign. He was convicted of such, he died for such. What's the issue, grim?
The issue is trying to say he was in Iraq in the way you do, such as the adminstration does is misleading to people who do not know better. Those people who do not know better automatically assume that he was in Iraq under the care/blessing of Saddam which is not the case. This is not standing up for anyone, it's simply knowing fact from fiction. I don't know about you but I'd rather know fact, not fiction.
OK, let's review then. Here's what I said: What part of that is misleading? Where did I say he was under the care/blessing of saddam? That's why I stick with facts, not opinions. I still don't see the issue of contention. Perhaps I'm trying to hard to not see something that you are seeing?
It's not misleading to the very small percent of people who know what's going on, you know yourself very few people know that much of the situation, even today. By saying he was in Iraq w/o any knowledge a normal person will take that as he was under Saddam controlled Iraq. Actually I believe you, I know others on here and I know the administration and followers spouted off often trying to connect him with Saddam Simple fact that he was not in Saddam controlled Iraq is all I'm bringing up for those who do not know better. If you don't intend it to be misleading I would not think you'd have any problem with me pointing it out, I'd think you'd welcome the facts.
