and your response has absolutely nothing to do with my response to limbo.
So al qaeda setting up shop in Iraq, connected Iraq to 9/11 ???
Then to me that would also mean bin Laden and his al qaeda cronies setting up shop in Pakistan would mean connecting 9/11 to Pakistan as well...either that or we really aren´t interested in finding him...0 -

al qaeda attacked on 9/11
al qaeda (yup the same group) set up shop in Iraq after the invasion.

Only that we followed them init Iraq and not Pakistan, not confused, it just demonstrates to me he wasn´t the primary objective..
I agree 100%. what should we do, invade pakistan? i'll be eagerly awaiting your response.
That would be a bad idea in my opinion..0 -

basically the same thing that was said going into the '04 elections, he'd be captured to win bush the presidency. if i'm not mistaken, it was also said before an off year election, to keep the republicans in control...he'd be captured right before the elections and everyone would vote republican. now it's being pushed back to right before bush leaves? come on, make up your mind. when will he be caught?"PC Load Letter?! What the fuck does that mean?"

yes
no. the government in afgahistan supported al qaeda and bin laden. pakistan does not. see the difference?
because we are not allowed there. this would entail going for an all out war with pakistan. is that what you want?
i already did but I will again. you'll have to pardon my friend everyone, he's a little slow.
the taliban government of afgahistan supported al qaeda and osama bin laden. on september 11th 2001, the USA was attacked by al qaeda. the united states gave the taliban about a month to turn over bin laden or risk retaliation for the attacks on 9/11. we overthrew the taliban and forced them into the mountains along the border with pakistan. this are is know as Waziristan. you can learn alot about this area here....

pakistan has said bin laden is not there and they do not know where he is. that may or may not be true.
logically speaking, this is the only area of the world where bin laden can have safe haven. and his only escape route after he was chased from his headquarters in tora bora afganistan. this area has been self governed and lawless for hundreds of years.
hehehe. you just dont get it. If we really wanted him Pakistan saying "NO" would not matter. If you really think Pakistan would declare war on the U.S. if we conducted special ops in this area of Pakistan then you are hopeless. But you just keep on believing that is the reason we dont have Mr Laden.War is Peace

It didn't stop you invading afganistan though did it.Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!
The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.0 -

rofl....bahhahaa...
I can't believe I read that either...Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

The difference is that the "you" and the "everybody else" would also say no to fighting bullshit wars in smaller countries too.
whereas "me" has a tiny little hard-on for watching big american soldiers fight against small opposition, but gets a little scared when the enemy might be nearly half the size of america, which might actually mean the outcome has an effect on "me"s' life.
"me"s' good ole apple pie morals take a back seat then huh?0 -
