ALL your points may be summed up in one phrase: "Have blind faith in your government."

I do not. This "New War" is a blank check and the method by which it is being supposedly fought is a sick joke on the American People.

Do you have the ability to engage in critical thought?

Now don't be mean. He has served his country and we cannot be short with him.

Thanks for your contribution however and hang in there.

Well, let's see there ole loopdoggydog if "ALL" my points can be summed up in "Have[ing] blind faith in your [oppressive] government;

1. It has been reported that terrorist operatives exist in almost 60 countries;
"Blind faith" or independently reported fact?

2. The enemy is elusive and therefore difficult to fight, especially in light of our weak human intel;
"Blind faith" or verifiable fact?

3. Bush & Co. have repeatedly stated that we will target Al Queda initially and then proceed to the next;
Okay, "blind faith".

4. Bush & Co. have also stated that behind scenes victories can't be publicized due to covert necessity;
While it might be a "blind faith" statement, it is usually the case in any war.

5. This NEW type of warfare is being fought on many fronts, some not militarily;
"Blind faith" or verifiable fact?

6. Since Afganistan is land-locked we need the surrounding nations' support to execute our plans; Unfortunately, this means considering the *sensitivities* and political concerns of those nations (much to our dismay);
"Blind faith" or verifiable fact?

7. Be patient. We'll be at this for years...but we WILL prevail.
Definitely, my "blind faith" opinion.
