Analysis of Strategic Threats In the Current Decade (2010-2020)

[Dos Equis]

If there was a real threat like I said before there would have been something happening. I mean this is a big country our security is not that great to begin with.

Did you look at the link? 

[o13starsnstripes]

I certaintly did

Exactly, nothing is stopping anyone who would want to harm this country.

High school kids can figure out how to shoot up a school, but big bad Al Qaeda can't?

Huh...


Fact of the matter is, this war on "TERROR" is a sham...

[Dos Equis]

I certaintly did

So you don't think the fact we have stopped at least 19 terrorist attacks since 9/11 explains why we haven't been attacked?

Go on youtube and look up Joel Skousen and his interviews and he nails it as to how it is NOT a real threat.

Actually yeah it doesn't because look at this simple fact. It is easy to be a terrorist and if they truly wanted to do us harm they could have. I mean like I said before were a big country with a huge open border.

Or better yet, go buy and read the book "The Looming Tower:  Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11."  I recently read this.  Great book.  Will give you a good understanding of what we're fighting against.

Or how about the fact that we have been interfering in that region for years and now were occupying two and now a soon to be third one where the people don't want us there?

Except they tried and failed, repeatedly, which the link I posted shows.  

They're not really going to walk into liquor store and shoot a clerk.  They try and plan attacks on a much broader scale. They want a much bigger impact.  

I agree we are extremely vulnerable.  Another major attack is coming.  We have done a phenomenal job since 9/11, but we will not be able to stop every attack planned by those cockroaches.

Thank you, I'll take a look!

We can stop another attack from happening if we stop these predator drone attacks on people

[Dos Equis]

We actually need to be in the region, but that's only part of the reason why the crazies want to kill us. 

[Roger Bacon]

We actually need to be in the region

Why, in your opinion do we need to be?

[o13starsnstripes]

We actually need to be in the region, but that's only part of the reason why the crazies want to kill us. 

Not only do we have no right to be there that is a HUGE reason to hate us. What right do we have to have soldiers over there? Also how is murdering people who never did anything to us doing us or anyone for that matter any good?

[o13starsnstripes]

Science and facts always win

[Dos Equis]

Why, in your opinion do we need to be?

For at least a few reasons.  That's where many of our enemies are, and we need to be able to strike fast when necessary. 

We also have an ally (Israel) that is surrounded by people that want them dead. 

We need to be able to deal with Iran if they get too close to developing or obtaining nukes. 

[Dos Equis]

Not only do we have no right to be there that is a HUGE reason to hate us. What right do we have to have soldiers over there? Also how is murdering people who never did anything to us doing us or anyone for that matter any good?

We have a right to be anywhere we are invited.  And as of right now, we are an invited guest of every country where have temporary or permanent military bases. 

Who is murdering people?  Other than terrorists? 

[o13starsnstripes]

They are our enemies because we are there

That is Israels problem NOT ours! We shouldn't be supporting, giving them OUR taxpayer dollars and should not be getting involved in their business. If they develop a nuke thats their business. We have nuclear weapons, how would we feel if another country told us to give ours up? We have no right to tell another nation what they can and can not own.

Of course we have the right to tell another country they can't have nukes.  We are the biggest, baddest kid on the block.    If a country like Iran, which wants to exterminate one of our allies, funds terrorism, aids enemies who kill Americans, wants to obtain nukes, we can say "no."  Because we can.  And should.

Were NOT invited in Iraq,A-stan, or libya for that matter. Those predator drones we use in pakistan we have been killing civilians left and right. You don't think thats making people angry or growing hate toward us? Also we can't afford to have bases all over the world at this point.

That's not true.  We are in Iraq and Afghanistan at the express invitation of their respective governments.  Didn't start that way, but that's how it is now.

There are a numerous strategic resources they have that corporations want such oil in iraq and A-stan there is lithium and opium. Ok if nuclear weapons are the reason why haven't we stripped them from other nations around the world? Just who the hell are we to tell others how to live their lives? If a country like Iran wants to exterminate israel then thats their business. We must stay like a constitutional republic and NOT and empire like we are now. Empires fall and die.

[o13starsnstripes]

So you don't think that the fact that the people are fighting us over there is a sign that they don't want us there?

This is Operation northwoods http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/northwoods.pdf

How come bin laden isn't listed for causing 9/11 http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/wanted_terrorists

Most of the american public thinks osama bin laden is responsible for 9/11 but yet our FBI doesn't even list 9/11 as one of his major crimes and their response is that they don't have enough evidence.

Fabled enemies

Terror storm

I disagree.  I don't believe in isolationism.  We should work together with other nations where practical, and crush them when necessary (e.g., Iraq invading Kuwait).
