WASHINGTON: Those who plotted the deadly attacks on World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001, are still alive and planning to carry out more terror strikes, a top US military general has said.
"The people behind that deadly day are still at it. They live and plan and train in safe havens along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border," Navy admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said.
"They would like nothing better than to see either country or both fall prey to the grip of an extremist ideology. To the degree we let them succeed, we let ourselves become vulnerable," Mullen said in his address to the 91st annual American Legion Convention, Louisville, Kentucky.
"My mission, the one currently given to me by the President, is to prevent that from happening. And that's what we're going to do," Mullen said.
While Pakistanis are themselves waging their war against extremists, Mullen said, in Afghanistan, the war being waged to defeat al-Qaida and its extremist allies is led by an international security force with Afghans.
"We have got to help them. That is why I ordered the establishment of a Pakistan-Afghanistan coordination cell, inside my own staff, to work exclusively on the issues of that region, to stay engaged," Mullen said.
Mullen had better be careful or Holder will have up on charges for slurring religious freedom fighters.
Bingo. Does Holder know about this ?
Meanwhile, according to Fox news this am, our government is exposing CIA informants to provide info to the defense attorneys of the GITMO detainees.
WORDS! WORDS! WORDS! I’m so sick of WORDS!
These people will never be defeated. They are too well funded by Saudis and other regions with more money to achieve their purpose. We’ve given them a foothold here just like Europe has. We’ve invited them in. They will achieve their goals right under our noses. Good old political correctness. Is everyone deaf and blind in DC?

I don’t like the sound of this. bam is in trouble. He just sent a terrorist back to Afghanistan in the dark of night free as a bird without warning to anyone.
Why?
WHOOPS! I feel strongly about this but once is enough.
Well, if we get attacked again, we can just declare another National “Day of Servitude”
If we get attacked 7 times, we can declare a whole week
Amazing with all the posturing Obama did during the campaign about “catching Osama”, not a peep has been heard about this since the election. From neither the press nor Obama.
Spot On. Gone also are the nightly updates on what the death total is for both wars. We are hearing the news about the July count in Afghanistan being the highest yet, but that news will soon fall prey to Kennedy worship, and its a one month count, rather that a sum total.
“Amazing with all the posturing Obama did during the campaign about “catching Osama”, not a peep has been heard about this since the election. From neither the press nor Obama.”
Right. Not a word about the American lives being lost in Afghanistan either. Where are the anti-war demonstrators? Where is Code Pink? Where are the media pundits with their list of daily casualties?
TM'ers Ping.
