Your point is moot. Al Qaeda wasn't situated out of Saudi Arabia. They were operating out of Afghanistan.  ::)

Where were the hijackers from?

Again, what is your point? Al Qaeda has drawn members from all over the world. Regardless of where they originated from the fact is that Al Qaeda operated out of Afghanistan and was in bed with the Taliban.

When you get this answer right, you will be well on your way to getting "my point".

Afhganistan was a safe haven for these beasts.

Apparently Lurker thinks we should have invaded Saudi Arabia because of the fact that the hijackers were from there.  ::)

We are not fighting a nation state in the classical sense of war.  These savages will go anywhere where they will be left alone to plot their evil.

So what you are saying it is not a global War On Terrorism, but rather a war on certain parts of who we say are terrorists and who we claim have WMDs?

After 9/11, in the 333386 world, we would have:

1.  Closed the borders to illegals:
2.  Began a manhattan project and huge effort on domestic energy production;
3.  Daisy Cutter the shit out of the taliban.
4.  Secretely sent sniper teams and spec. ops everywhere to take out taliban and terrorists
5.  Taken soldiers from outposts where nothing happens overseas and place them on the border.
 

Our reliance on foreign energy is a disgrace.  We have enough oil and oil shale and coal and other resources to tell the Saudi's to go to hell.

Opposed to thinking Iraq had a link to 9-11, had WMDs, had drones that could fly to the U.S. and attack us (hahaha good one FAUX), etc...

Apparently, CNN botched that one up, too, as that network ALSO reported that there were WMDs  ::) .

Besides, Obama said that this was the war we HAD TO WIN!!! Now, he's dragging his feet, because the far-left is poking their white-flag-raising lips out.

For at least TWO YEARS, he campaigned that the "real" war on terror was in Afghanistan. Now, his general is begging for troops.

If Obama and his posse put HALF the energy into attacking Al Qaeda and the Taliban, that they put into attacking Fox News, we'd have blown them to bits and our troops would be home for Christmas.

6.  Raised terrorists of our own to infiltrate the ringleader's network and set off suitcase nukes.

In which case?  If they dropped a nuke or dirty bomb on NYC and I suffered  from a horrible death or illness? 

I am making my escape plans, dont worry.   ;D  ;D

Yeah..because all that worthwhile TARP/Bailout money is saving jobs and the economy and could use some of that "Bush war" money to really put it over the top. Field Marshall Biden and his ninja predator plan will be much cheaper to execute then actually trying to win.
