It's not one man's opinion. That might have been one man voicing his

Nope, did not miss it. What was he supposed to do? Call them a bunch of
idiots. And this of course was before Kofi and son, along with France,
Russia and Germany, stole millions from the Oil for Food UN campaign.

Isn't it strange that France, Germany and Russia were the 3 major countries

There are speculations that the Al Qaida attack suppopsedly planned for between
now and late October will be intended to influence the elections.

Al Qaida was correct that the attack in Madrid would move the Spanish to vote
out
their government.

Al Qaida is convinced that an attack on the US between now and the election
will rally the country to GWB. I believe they are correct, and should we be
attacked we
should evaluate just why our mortal *enemy* wants a particular president in
office.

A letter sent to a British paper by a top Al Qiada leader confirmed that Al
Qaida is very desirous of keeping Bush in the White House. The letter writer
asserts that the
actions and attitudes of the US administration has made it extremely easy to
recruit new members for their organization.

Under Bush, the US more closely resembles the "great Satan" (from the Arab
perspective, at least) that Al Qaida has always represented it to be.

Why? Because we are fighting them? If so, I say great work Bush.

We now have Russia on the side against international terrorism. The only
answer is to face it head on. Clintons approach did nothing to address the
problem and most likely encourage future attacks.

No. They want us to fight them. That's the whole point. They will do whatever
they can do to insure that we continue to attempt a military solution to a
non-military
equation.

Been there, done that and got the tee shirt. It does not work.

Only problem with that line is that as far as I know Kerry never said that.

You're confusing what Rush Limbaugh says "Kerry said", with Kerry actually has
actually said.

Gould 0738 September 9th 04 01:30 AM

Non military Chuck? I guess your answer is to negotiate.

Sigh.

Once again, Gould's preferred solution.

1. Identify the enemy. We are not being attacked by foreign armies. We are
being attacked by foreign terrorist criminal *******s. The *******s reside in
little ****ant countries without a strong enough central government, or enough
determination, to rout them. Toppling the governments of a succession of
****ant countries will simply relocate the criminal terrorist *******s. Our
current approach is akin to cracking down on all the drunks and whores on the
east side of town. Once the cops are busy on the east side, the drunks and
whores just mosey over to the west.

2. Infiltrate the enemy. Fall out of love with
"Star Wars" intelligence and get actual flesh and blood operatives into Al
Qaida and other similar groups. Continue to use electronic spy techniques to
supplement the spies and agents with ass in the grass, but renew emphasis on
*human* intelligence.

3. Disrupt and eliminate the enemy.
Our intelligence operatives will be able to
identify specific terrorist individuals during the planning phases, rather than
waiting for an attack to know for sure that something is going to happen. Our
operatives will often be in positions to thwart plans by failing to carry out
responsibilities assigned to them by terrorist groups. Our operatives will be
able to furnish the CIA, special forces, and other groups with name s and
locations of people who need to be surgically removed to *really* insure the
safety and security of the United States.

4. We reserve the military as a tool to put pressure on foreign government who
might otherwise object to our clandestine operations and CIA extractions and
eliminations within their borders. "You don't want to allow us to do this
quietly?
Your choice, Ujerkistan, will be to declare war on the US to stop us. Consider
that option very, very carefully."

Speak softly, and carry a great big frickin stick. But don't start off just
whacking everybody in sight with a stick, realizing that you'll get *some*
terrorists in the process.

Right here is where you chime in with the BS about John Kerry voting to cut $1
billion from the intelligence budget.

(save you the time)

Right here is where I rebutt that John Kerry introduced a bill to cut $1
billion dollars from the Office of Strategic Planning- only after the office
had *failed to spend* several billion dollars previously allocated by congress!
John Kerry's bill to recover $1 billion of the multi- billion agency surplus
never came to a vote, because a couple of
Republican senators intorduced a bill to
cut the *entire, multi-billion dollar amount*

Your guess, that my answer would be to "negotiate" is just flat wrong. Sorry.

Chuck, you can't trust Al Qaida. By now you should realize that. If they say
they want Bush, then they really want Kerry. Bush will attempt to get them
first. Kerry will let them get us first, and *then* he'll try to take action.
Those Al Qaida guys have TV's too. They know what Kerry said.


You know, so far Osama has a better record of telling the truth than
Bush. So, my expectation is that if Osama said he's a Bush fan, it's
the truth.

Gould 0738 September 9th 04 04:07 AM

Chuck, what do we do during ther 5-10 years it takes to recruit, train, and
*infiltrate* (to the point of becoming confidants) the terrorist groups?


Same question you asked yesterday.
Same anwer. It won't take 5-10 years.
Al Qaida is recruiting very actively right now. There are more Al Qaida members
today than there were in September 2001, so it looks like our current approach
is *not* working, wouldn't you say? If we kill 1000 a month and they recruit
1500, we're going backwards- not forwards.

Didn't Clinton, or someone, sign an executive order making assassinations
illegal?


It doesn't take a constitutional amendment to overturn an executive order-
merely another executive order. I believe it was Bush the First, btw.

We've had presidential aversions to pre-emptive strikes, too. See how easily
that was overturned?

Your idea of infiltrating the bad guys, has failed so far. We just need to
identify any training camp and destroy it completely, and any supporting
stuff around it. Then maybe the under governed 3rd world countries will get
the idea that it is bad to support the bad guys. A few dozen
assassinations in Saudi land would also help. Also a military specialty (at
least in the old days.)

The question and answer was not about whether the war was over! You are
getting to be like basskisser and Harry. Selective reading. Was about the
intelligence service. Maybe if we unleashed unlimited firepower on those we
identify through intelligence, we would be a lot further along to peace.
The restrictions limit us severely. How long do you think Sadr would have
been harassing us, if we were not restricted from damaging Mosques? They
hole up in a Mosque and use it as fort. Should now become a free fire zone.
