Do you think the war on Terror is being fought correctly by the US?

It has been almost 8 years since we first sent troops into Afghanistan. I think it has been an utter disaster.. If you were Osama Bin Laden I highly doubt that you would linger in an area filled with US and Afghani Troops. I have lost quite a lot of hope when it comes to finding him. I think it is funny that we are still in Afghanistan looking for Osama Bin Laden after 7 years. Didn't they find two of his lieutenants in the Philipines last year? a nation of some 500 small islands? I just think it is ridiculous that we can't find one man after 7 years.. I thought that the US with all its rescources and expertise could locate him by know. I think it is only a matter of time before we get attacked by Al-Qaeda again..

Where is bin Laden?entropyecho

Exactly. ;)

I think it is a disaster. We don't even know if the guy is even still alive.omfg_its_dally

I predict he got eaten by a mountain lion. ;)

Quite possible...

It all started because of these so called WMD's. USA didn't find any, but took over the oil in the region. Than they went to Iraq which was pointless. Part of the reason America invaded Iraq and Afghanistan was for oil. I think Americas military is going to be shot down one day.

My main point is that America could of had more concrete proof before invading.

EDIT: I sorta went off topic. I think the war is a complete disaster.

Or better, ancient people with poison darts. :lol:

aparently al-quaeda dosn't really exist and it was just a random name made up so the american public thought the goverment was making headway, it' a bit pointless really as terror is simply an idea and you can't fight an ideamarkop2003

its true tho, al-qaeda doesnt exist

Not really. Maybe we should've kept some troops in Afghanistan and sent a few more to Pakistan (cooperating with them).Video_Game_King

lol so Americans can take over Pakistan?

No, cooperate with the government there in taking down a major terrorist leader.

bin laden is either dead and America knows about it OR America is not trying to find bin laden because this way they can keep waging war against islamm errr sorry i meant terroristsmingo123

What you don't believe there are terrorists out there trying to kill us?

there is no major terrorist leader in Pakistan and even if there are, they arent doing anything in Pakistan though there is a fight going on in tribal areas

no, wheres the recent major attacks on America or other western countries? Al-Qaeda is fake BS and Taliban only care about Afghanistan and not the rest of the world

Well Al-Qaeda is real, has been for a while. People just grossly exaggerrate their importance, which is exactly what they want.

They do not just attack American soil. They bombed the embassy's in Africa in 1998 killing over 100 people. They bombed the USS Cole back in 2000. They are linked to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Bin Laden and his men also trained people in Somalia how to fight America when we came to give relief to the people. Al-Qaeda's mission is not just to attack us here at home, but our citizens and allies around the world.

Bin Laden isnt seen as a terrorist in Pakistan tho ;) and also that was long time ago, he was seen in Islamabad or something

Al-Qaeda. Ever since 9/11 people treat them like a major threat. I mean thats the whole idea of terrorism, spreading terror.

They do not just attack American soil. They bombed the embassy's in Africa in 1998 killing over 100 people. They bombed the USS Cole back in 2000.

jfcundiff

10 years ago they bombed an embassay, 8 years since USS cole got attacked. world trade centre boming in 1993 maybe he was involved, but this stuff has been done ages ago. also what would bin laden get from traning somalia howto fight americans :|. How many citizens have al-qaeda attacked since past few years none, and then one looks at the peaceful America bombing us, they dropped bombs in Pakistan killing innocent people

Let's say, for the sake of argument, bin Laden is found. Do you think he could ever get a fair trial?entropyecho

I don't see why not.

"Utter distaster" is going a bit far. A measure of success has been achieved in both countries, Iraq and Afganistan, and the failure to capture bin Laden is mostly a blow to morale. Elraptor

It'd be nice if we could keep the Taliban out, if we can then I'd say Afghanistan was a success. At least with Iraq, for the almost uncanny amount of screw-ups I suppose we did get rid of Saddam Hussein.

They were just linked to the London bombings in 2005 or 06 killing all those citizens in the subways, bombing nightclubs throughout the Middle East, and there was the failed plot to hijack planes in Europe and blow them up over the Atlantic Ocean back in 2006. You also had the kidnapping and beheading of Daniel Pearl a couple of years. If you think that they still do not want to kill us, you are kidding yourself.

problem is that Al-Qaeda aint a threat I mean seriously why does America claim everything to be a threat? the only threat I see is america, thats all. they are killing innocent everywhere in the name of "War on Terror", look at Pakistan now, that country will be worse then Iraq if PK's government keep their head up in Americas butt on "War on Terror". If America backs out today then terrorists wont do nothing but problem is America dont wanna back out. I honestly dont see what Americas problem is

first of all i dont even believe Al-Qaeda was even involved in those bominbs, smells more of an inside job to me

The US started on the right track with Afghanistan, but then made the absolutely moronic decision to go after Iraq...

And now we're stuck.

We should've just kept our resources focused on Afghanistan, doing better to stop the Taliban and capture Bin Laden. But for whatever stupid reason, Bush decided to ignore that after going halfway. >_>

I think you misunderstood me. I don't see Al-Qaeda as a major threat. I mean we should keep tabs on them, but it's not like they're a threat to National Security.

It all started because of these so called WMD's. USA didn't find any, but took over the oil in the region. Than they went to Iraq which was pointless. Part of the reason America invaded Iraq and Afghanistan was for oil. I think Americas military is going to be shot down one day.

The main leader behind that bombing was trained by Al-Qaeda, sorry to tell ya.
