You are so wrong ~ a few hijackers ~ just one team that holed up in some townhouses quite near here was in the hundreds ~ and behind them were substantial numbers of incredibly wealthy Saudis and others.
That's what happens to you when you read the Leftwingtard MSM ~ you fail to appreciate the scale of the attack and the identity of the attackers.
And Osama Bin Ladin's own claim was that he wanted to re-establish the Islamic Caliphate ~ they attacked us ~ they identified themselves ~ and that's who they are whether you want to believe it or not.
Now, what did I say ~ "irredentists of the Islamic Caliphate" ~ look that term up someday then we can talk.
No need to be condescending. I can Google "irredentists of the Islamic Caliphate" with the best of them. But you're still missing the point. The ongoing War on Terror is neither a formally declared war, nor is it a war against the "irredentists of the Islamic Caliphate." So even though the "irredentists of the Islamic Caliphate" may have declared war on us, and even if the "irredentists of the Islamic Caliphate" may in fact be at war with us, we are not at war with the "irredentists of the Islamic Caliphate"--as much as some of us would like to imagine that we are. No, our formal enemy is Terror, a word so broad that it can include anything from blowing up a federal building to describing a naughty child.
When the US government gets serious about fighting the "irredentists of the Islamic Caliphate," so will I. Until then, their War on Terror is just a con game.
