A Question

[philosofy123]

Out of the 19 Islamic terrorists that attacked America in 9/11, how many Iraqis?

Hint-----ZERO

Out of the thousands of Islamic militants arrested in the US and Europe, how many Iraqis?

Hint----ZERO

Where did the US discover there is a new El Quaida terrorist camp? Hint----Iran, not Iraq

Well, I am not the smartest man in the world, but the above facts should give me a hint on who should be my greatest enemy?

[philosofy123]

You make sense. But, I still go after Saudi Arabia first. They financed the El Quaeida operation, which cost our economy about one trillion dollars. I would take over their oil fields to pump out oil for free, until the trillion dollars are paid!

[Uncle Miltie]

Who invaded his neighbors, twice?

Hint - Iraq.

Who used WMD against his neighbors and own populace?

Hint - Iraq.

Who fires almost daily on American pilots enforcing U.N. Resolutions? (An act of War, last I checked)

Hint - Iraq.

Who starves his people while building grand palaces to himself?

Trick Question! Both North Korea and Iraq.

Who harbored Abu Nidal, terrorist killer of Americans?

Hint - Iraq.

Whose downfall will cause their neighboring islamo-fascist-dicatatorships to fall like a dominoes?

Hint - Iraq.

Who will use nukes against you, given an opportunity?

Hint - Iraq. BTW - In the case of philosofy123, that might help clean up the gene pool.

Drudge posted this letter from Barbra Streisand to Dick Gephardt:

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU SEPT 26, 2002 14:09:27 ET XXXXX

STREISAND MEMO TO GEPHARDT: 'TAKE THE OFFENSE!'

Barbra Streisand has reminded Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt in a blistering memo: "Sadam (Saddam) Hussein did not bomb the World Trade Center."

The Streisand memo, released by adviser Margery Tabankin, warns Democrats to "get off the defensive and go on the offensive."

The singeractressdirectorproducer took time out from rehearsals for a performance she's giving on Sunday for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to remind Gephardt [spelled "Gebhardt" in a faxed memo obtained by DRUDGE] not to "ignore the obvious influence on the Bush Administration of such special interests as the oil industry, the chemical companies, the logging industry... just to name a few."

Streisand notes: "Many of these industries, run by big Republican donors and insiders, clearly have much to gain if we go to war against Iraq."

Streisand urges the Democrats to "publicly convey this message to the American people."

While there are serious problems with Iraq, Barbra feels that we can't let this issue become a distraction from the country's domestic problems and the President's inability to fully dismantle the al Qaeda [spelled "Al Queda" in the fax] network.

"Afterall, Saddam [spelled Sadam in the fax] Hussein did not bomb the World Trade Center."

Feel free to call Barbra or me at 310-395-3599 if you would like to discuss this further, Tabankin offers to Gephardt.

Capitol Hill's top reporter, Ed Henry at ROLL CALL, later confirmed Streisand penned the "confidential memo" urging Gephardt to take the offense against Bush.

Tabankin tells Henry she sent the memo after she had a phone conversation with Streisand. "We had just watched Tom Daschle's speech," said Tabankin. "We were both very emotional."

Interesting.... You can't spell either, hmmmm.....

Well, I am not the smartest man in the world, but the above facts should give me a hint on who should be my greatest enemy?

DEMOCRATS?

[taxcontrol]

One's greatest enemy is not defined by one's actions (i.e. numbers rounded up, where they came from, etc.) Rather, one's greatest enemy is the group that can do the most damage to you.

Sun Tzu states:

Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted. Therefore the clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him.

Your enemy is therefor defined by those that would impose their will upon you AND has the means of doing so.

Do not worry about the dead or those already captured. They can do you no more harm and are therefore NOT your enemy. Rather, worry about those that can inflict harm and prevent them from doing so by carrying the war to their door.

These is VERY basic military 'philosofy' - something your handle would indicate that you have studied but your discourse would indicate not.

[Destructor]

The fact that there were no Iraqis involved in any of the attacks should be a red flag!

[MHGinTN]

Well, I am not the smartest man in the world, not paying very good attention either. There is a well documented training camp ~85 miles southeast of Baghdad where Al Qaeda people are/were trained in techniques for taking over a commercial airline. Saddam flew in a commercial airline and set it up for training. Echos of 'let's roll' shoot through my mind everytime I have to point this out to one of you idiots.

"who should be my greatest enemy?"

Your greatest enemy? Why that would be you of course!

Look.... 3000 + souls have died. Our response needs to be a little irrational. We really do need to kill someone and do something dramatic.

We should act alone so everybody will know that we will. It proves we still have resolve, we are an independent nation and will do the same in the future.

We should overthrow Saddam because we can. He is not a very nice man and... an example is an example after all. It is better to kill one innocent madman than to kill no one at all in this case.


As for Iran, it will free itself with a little help anyway.

If China, Russia, and Germany are opposed... the cause must be just.

If Israel supports us, this is solid confirmation to act swiftly.

If France is against us, then we must be absolutely, positively right. There can be no doubt! If the whole world is afraid, why should we tremble?


If you are saying that you are in lock step with ALGORE, I suggest you change boots as soon as possible.

Bush's misfortune is that he has to wait for cooler weather
and we have such a short attention span.

Your enemy, and the rest of you "wafflers" is only yourself.

[bluecollarman]

sorry,
my post was supposed to go to the philosofy123 dude.

[Destructor]

Oh, okay. I was about to elaborate, but I'll skip it. I'm definately not down with Al Gore. Never have been- never will be!

"your beloved Iran"

My beloved Iran? We should kick their @ss too!

[PhilipFreneau]

The folks at Frontline seem to believe there were (are) terrorist training camps in Iraq. Remember the recent Scott Ritter interview at the Iraqi training camp where the Boeing 707 was located? Ritter claimed the training camp was for "hostage rescue" type training. But Frontline showed a different scenerio (read this article, and this one, and this one).

"However, every time they breif Congress, the leaders come out and say, they did not learn anything new?"

This is a pretty general statement. Could you be more specific and provide some links to a recent quote by these "congressional leaders"?

[cmsgop]

What You Need To Do Is Read More!

Your Vanity Post Is So 1999..........

[TopQuark]

I think the administration should tell the Congressional leaders about their reason for considering Iraq more dangerous than Iran, or Suadi Arabia, I do not know where you've been all this time: that has been reiterated every darn day.
