I would say that Iraq was where Al Qaeda chose to go to die against US soldiers. So far, they have not managed to cause more deaths than happened accidentally during peacetime.

The real al-Qaeda leadership and funding network is not fighting in Iraq. They are waiting, hiding, planning a larger attack. I do not believe, as you apparently do, that Osama is planning to die quietly. And it is quite unlikely he's hiding in some crude cave.

I like your analogy with Nazi Germany though...why don’t you show a little unity against the terrorists as the US did against all the Axis powers, including Japan...you’ve failed to do so little in this thread.

Actually, I'm the one interested in killing al-Qaeda as well as all other terrorists threatening Americans and, to a lesser extent, terrorists threatening other nations. You're the one with a fixation on Iraq, changing justifications for war, shifting war aims, your own fanciful interpretations of facts that have no connection with Pentagon or White House statements and policy, etc.

Finally, one more thing I believe you overlooked with your analogy with Hitler: We never killed Hitler.

But we would have, just as we executed his top henchmen where possible.

The real Al-Qaeda leadership and funding network is fighting and dying in Iraq.

That was established with the last intercept. There is no “Al Qaeda in Iraq” it was all directed by Al Qaeda as a foreign organization.

Where do you think you would be killing Al Qaeda?

I am not fixated on Iraq, I’ve merely recognized it as Al Qaeda’s chosen battlefield. The battlefield that matters is the propaganda battle...as you seem to now recognize.

Al Qaeda can lose Iraq. It is up to us, the pajamahadeen, to make sure that the rest of the world understands that with the loss of Iraq, Al Qaeda has lost their credibility.

Meanwhile, you’re here attempting to lend them credibility without Iraq or Afghanistan, and from a tactical point of view, that’s purely damaging to America.

SO WHY?
