Oh, I thought you got it from Trixies co-workers.

[oioiman]

Huge exposing BUMP!

[ladyinred]

You don't really believe this do you? Unnamed source?

[Wphile]

This is bogus. Wolfowitz is deputy Secretary of Defense, not State. Someone's got their facts all messed up.

[Roebucks]

trust me this is air tight

Perhaps, but it ain't news until it's verified. "A source"??? Not buying it.

Indonesia should be high on the " to do" list. There are as many terrorist organizations there as in the Middle east.

[a history buff]

Et tu, puer, propheta Altissimi vocaberis:
praeibis enim ante faciem Domini parare vias eius,
ad dandam scientiam salutis plebi eius
in remissionem peccatorum eorum,
per viscera misericordiae Dei nostri,
in quibus visitabit nos oriens ex alto,
illuminare his, qui in tenebris et in umbra mortis sedent,
ad dirigendos pedes nostros in viam pacis ”.

Paul " Neil is a Failure. . Period...............

[thuleanfire]

the next target may be Indonesia.

Let's think about this a moment. Now I know there are those that say 9/11 "changed everything" and such, but we need to maintain limited objectives if we want to be successful. The objective should be to get Osama bin Laden and his top aides that are likely at his side in Afghanistan. Then that should be it, come home, and repeal the USA Patriot Act and all of the goodies that the FBI got. America really should not attempt a worldwide crusade with country after country on its list, and I fear W. may be doing just that. If he really goes through with this "ridding the world of evil" stuff, America will at war perpetually. What will that do to us as a nation, at home, over the long term?

[crystalk]

Smell of disinformation.

[nopardons]

Hmmmmmmm... and you joined FR Dec.4,2001 ? You iagine that YOU know a lot , and especially what President Bush " should " do ? Gee whiz, and oh golly ! Just what fringe party are you for, the Libertarians, or are you a Patsie ?

Yo can't just do OBL in, and leave the rest of his cells active and funded by other sources. Do you think that we should have gotten the Nazis, but allowed Japan to do what it felt like ? Do you knw what Pol Pot did AFTER we left Nam ? Have you ANY historical / war knowledge at all ?

[SierraWasp]

He's probably part of the "antiwar.com" croud.(groan!)

Even the presumptous, self-righteous title of that site is enough to gag a maggot!!! As if war was NEVER justified under ANY circumstances... Judas Priest!!!

[SierraWasp]

"Peresite..."

Whazzat? Don'tcha mean pairasight?(/sourchasm)(grin)

[pistola]

Keep them guessing. It's all part of the strategery;>)

[piasa]

Wolfowitz is Deputy Secretary of Defense, not State.

I don't know if the post is confused, correct, wrong, or otherwise.
I do know that Iraq can be controlled or contained by means short of war and probably not the same ones pioneered by bill clinton.
The next target in any war on terrorism must be some place where terrorists are known to be protected and can be identified and nailed.
Somalia perhaps. Indonesia because they are above ground. The PI because they are visible and the government would welcome the help and maybe allow for some raproachment.
Not Iraq where we've had years to target them while dancing around with the silly measures adopted after the Gulf War.
