Sending More Troops to Iraq

[TomOfSweden]

yes they still exit, the have a web site and pepole in Pakistan and Afghanstan have seem member but turn nobody in out of fear of their lives,
Bin Laden is alive and al Qaeda will laways exist it may loos power overthe years but it is like cancer it willl always exist in 1 form or another, the Talaban still exisits they are talking about send a surge of 15,000 there to figth them now and then ews reported tonight nbe it right or wrong that if Iran does not stop its Nuclear program the US hasa plan to invade them as well

I can make an Al Qaeda web site tomorrow. That doesn't prove a thing. There was a Dutch guy last year accused by the CIA for making a reqruitment video for Al Qaeda. When he was interogated he said it was just a joke, (which should have been obvious to anybody since it was really very silly). But it was still head-line news all over the world, (that a Al Qaeda operative had been siezed by CIA). The fact that Al Qaeda sells so much newspapers should make you a hell of a lot more critical of what you read. Unsurprisingly, him not being a part of Al Qaeda didn't make the head-lines.

I'm still going with my theory that it's just something militant muslims say they're a part of to seem more menacing. Even though there's no network connecting anybody.

Just compare them to real intelligence organisations of the world. They suck at keeping secrets. Watergate!!! Considering the nature of Al Qaeda, it should be super easy to lean on somebody who wants out. But they off-course haven't found anybody who talks, because there's off-course nothing to say. If the mafia can't keep infiltrators out. What makes you think a bunch of religous loons can? It just doesn't make sense.

The Taleban is on the upsurge in Afghanistan because they can provide security. In a way the govornement today can't. In politics it always comes down to the real basic practical issues and never ideology. Am I more safe/rich/healthy/educated now than I was during the last regime? It's the same reason the Islamic courts are taking power in Somalia. I doubt any of this has a basis in Aghanis or Somalis being any more religious than anybody else.

I doubt USA will invade Iran. There's no political will, money or troops to do it. I'm assuming Bush has spent USA's terrorist-fighting carte blanche. We'll see, because I doubt Iran will stop enriching uranium.

edit: How about this for good news on Iraq. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6283975.stm
It seems the Sunnis are realising it's better to be in than out from parliment.
