AFGHANISTAN:

This was the right thing to do...within 2 years we pretty well cleared out and destroyed the Talaban throughout the country...things were going pretty good...reconstruction...elections...friendly people...but no Osama....close a few times but he always seemed to get away...

Then president Bush announces that we are going to make a pre-emptive strike on Iraq because Saddam and Bin Laden were connected plus Saddam had a huge supply of weapons of mass destruction and we better get him before he gets us...5,000 troops were taken out of the fight on Terror in Afghanistan and sent to Iraq along with 140,000 more American troops...

Our troops raced thru Iraq with very little trouble...took Bagdad and Saddam and his gang went into hiding...We are now going into our fifth year in Iraq...Saddam has been captured and is on trial now along with 8 of his cohorts...his two sons have been killed along with many of the top men in Saddams regime...With Osoma hiding in the mountains in Afghanistan the number two man Al-Zarwi directed the insurgents attacks...kiddnappings...beheadings and suicide bombings...Our Air Force finnally found him and other high ranking officials and destroyed them only for another to take up the fight...

And this is were the war on Terror...it seems...ended and the hunt for the man who was responsible for the deaths of 3,000 human beings just going to work and an endless supply of grief...agony...orphans and widows began...never mind the North Koreans and their missiles and nuclear program....and lets forget about Iran and their nuclear program and bold talk and threats...
Kashmir...Yemen...Saudi Arabia...England...South Asia...India...Libya Kenya...Tanzania...Phillipines...Algeria...Spain and many more states and countries around the world who have been hit by terrorist in the past and surely will be hit again and again were all put on the back burner...The War on Terrorism was now in Iraq and there only for the Bush administration... that was not the Promise that was given to our brave men and women who now lie dead or missing an arm or leg and sick with God knows what...

We will export death and violence to the four corners of the Earth in defense of our great nation.

Bin Laden trail goes ‘stone cold’

U.S. steps up efforts, but good intel on the ground is lacking

It has been so long since there has been anything like a real close call that some operatives have given bin Laden a nickname: "Elvis," for all the wishful-thinking sightings that have substituted for anything real.

After playing down bin Laden's importance and barely mentioning him for several years, Bush last week repeatedly invoked his name and quoted from his writings and speeches to underscore what Bush said is the continuing threat of terrorism.

Many terrorism experts, however, say the importance of finding bin Laden has diminished since Bush first pledged to capture him "dead or alive" in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks. Terrorists worldwide have repeatedly shown they no longer need him to organize or carry out attacks, the experts say. Attacks in Europe, Asia and the Middle East were perpetrated by homegrown terrorists unaffiliated with al-Qaeda.

Five years after the Sept. 11 attacks, the most publicized manhunt in history has drawn a blank. The CIA has reorganized agents searching for the al Qaida leaders in the face of the evolving nature of the terrorist threat. And the American military's once-singular focus is diffused by the need for reconstruction and a growing fight against the Taliban, the resurgent Afghan Islamic movement that once hosted bin Laden.

The top leaders of al-Qaida remain free despite more than 100,000 U.S., Afghan and Pakistani forces at the frontier. High-tech listening posts, satellite imagery, unmanned spy planes _ not to mention a $25 million bounty on each man from the U.S. government _ all aid the hunt.

Yet both bin Laden and al-Zawahri are communicating to the outside world, posting messages on Islamic Web sites to inspire further attacks on the West. Although the al-Qaida leaders are too isolated to run directly a terrorist operation like Sept. 11, Pakistan says the latest alleged plot, to bomb U.S.-bound jetliners from Britain, may have been blessed by al-Zawahri

Al-Qaida deputy Ayman al-Zawahri, shown here in this videotape from December 2005, purportedly issued a new video Monday in which he warns of new terror strikes. The release coincided with the fifth anniversary of the attacks in New York and Washington. In the video, al-Zawahri addresses the United States: "You should worry about your presence in the (Persian) Gulf, and the second place you should worry about is Israel."

"Postwar findings indicate that Saddam Hussein was distrustful of al-Qaeda and viewed Islamic extremists as a threat to his regime, refusing all requests from al-Qaeda to provide material or operational support."

The conflict, now in its fourth year, has claimed the lives of more than 2,703 American troops and cost more than $300 billion (euro234.1 billion).

Cost of War: $550 Billion and Counting

The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service estimates that the total price tag for U.S. military activities in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as counterterrorism activities around the world, will significantly exceed the half-trillion-dollar mark over the next fiscal year.

The American Creed

I believe in the United States of America
As a government of the people, by the people, for the people
Whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed
A democracy in a republic;
A sovereign Nation of many sovereign States;
A perfect Union, one and inseparable;
Established upon the principles of freedom, equality,
justice, and humanity
For which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country
To love it
To support its Constitution
To obey its laws;
To protect its flag and defend it against all enemies.
