That is a really good point, how many more fighters would be trained if we didnt hadnt shut the Taliban down.
In reality most of the 18000 fighters joined Al Qaeda during the Clinton Administration
How about the trainign camps run by Saddam for gosh sakes! I know of at least two near Baghdad that were training terorists right up to the day we started the invasion to oust the Saddam demons. How many would have been trained by now had we not stopped that little nesting effort? And how many would be trained in Libya if Khaddafy had not seen what happened to Saddam and family? Sheesh, the liberal leftists bastards are making an all out effort to portray things as falsely as they think they can get away with. How proud the liberal journalism school teachers must be, how please the clintons still running the dnc from the cloakroom must be, how very satisfied must be the terrorist bastards the liberals are aiding and abetting in the war on terrorism!
