ABC and all the controlled media outlets have been infiltrated by the CIA (Operation Mockingbird). This nonsense you read regarding "Al Qaeda" and the "War on Terror" is all a fabrication. You are being lied to by well paid agents in the media. Ignore them.

This is too difficult for most Americans to accept.

Bin Laden is dead - I have no doubt. He's not been seen, says nothing, no video or audio in a long time. He's gone. Al Queda is the loser - they are falling apart.

ALL Americans don't accept your views, not because they aren't intelligent, but because 99% of us know you're spewing propaganda.

Shutup and give us all a break on the useless muslim sided blabber...

Many people's mental capacities have been infiltrated by paranoia (Operation as soon as possible). There are also UFO's hidden at Roswell and we're pretty certain Kennedy's assassination was really a suicide.

This is too difficult for most Americans to accept.

The poster above (John) is correct. "Al Qaeda" is a CIA invention, created to promote the never-ending "War on Terrorism" that the US "Defense" industries want to keep them in profits from their armaments sales. More than 50% of the US government's annual budget is spent on the US military and US intelligence agencies. War is a business, and the business of the USA is war.

the taliban are a joke. the media makes it sound like they are achieving something. all they do is hide and make tapes. when is the last time ive been hidin has been shown with any forces? so we invade, slap them around like idiots and they still have not been able to do anything to us forces. they are a bunch of frightened mountain goats that are not a threat. what an embarassement they are to their pathetic cause.

John what is your source of info regarding Operation Mockingbird? Inquiring minds want to know. I will accept.

It's a C-O-N spiracy I tell you. Go seek some help wacko. Hopefully the voices in your head aren't going to keep you from thinking so clearly going forward.

Somalia? Wazzat? Isn't that like chicken bacteria or something?

Wow, I think all of you need to go overseas and see how are soldiers are busting their behinds so you can sit here and say that they are fighting something that is made up. Go join a military branch and back up your freedom of speech

Some of the paranoid folks here are making Oliver Stone look downright sensible.

What's next, all the rap stars secretly own KFC and Pizza Hut in an attempt to covertly increase the size of America's booties for future rap video shoots?

Here's the truth that seems too difficult for some members of the flat Earth society to accept: A bunch of nutcases believe in a god rewards them with fruits and 72 virgins of they kill innocent people and GWB was the single best person in America to help lead our war against them. We were attacked first and now we are fighting back and winning. The left wing bleeding heart dimwits like Pelosi and Gore, as well as pals at the New York Times don't know how to fight back against an enemy that fights dirty so instead they have set their sights on GWB and the tools that we were secretly using to help us catch the SOB Islamists. The enemy have a great ally in the Dumbocrats, and Zawahari was practically jumping for joy when they won the House and Senate.

Apparently the above truths are too difficult for those in Blue states to understand.

Imagine that, an AQ leader instructing backward jerks to rise up and fight over a total dump of a nation, further ensuring that the place has no future.

Riddle me this:

If extremist Muslims continue to promote cultural and moral views that are contrary to those in the modern world, and insist on spreading those views outside of their own borders, why do they continue to express complete shock when the Western world lashes out?

Really, do they actually think that concepts they promote as being "evil" such as women's rights, gay rights, freedom of (or from) religion, etc. - but concepts which are "old news" and widely accepted in many Western nations - how can these people ever really expect to live at peace with the rest of the world?

That doesn't even begin to address situations such as the one in Iraq, where they have proven themselves to be so stupid as to kill each other over land disputes that are older than all of us put together.

Pakistan gives the US a token Al Quaeda member every few months to keep us off their backs. Whatever happened to "You're either with us or against us" policy? Pakistan's president Musharaff needs to stop riding the fence and make a stand against the radical Islamists and the US needs to put his feet to the fire to make sure it happens. Otherwise AQ will have a safe haven forever in which to operate against the US in Afghanistan and beyond.

Why hasn't the United States of America captured and/or KILLED bin Laden yet? Where is he?! If anyone knows, please contact the nearest U.S. Embassy...there is a large reward in it for you!

Help us out...pretty please!

Kudos to Krista firstly for her great reporting. . . With regard to Zawahri -- funny, I never once some him on a paid political advertisement on television for some candidate here in the US or on a campaign trail either in the breadbasket, the west coast or the beltway extolling his love and esteem for a certain candidate, and here he praises himself for having been the principal in the takeover of the Democratic party in the US Congress.
Moreover, he seems to be fond of the camera -- perhaps a psychological need for attention not received during his infancy. I do not know. A man like Zawahri needs to be given attention by some outlet, perhaps he can have his own talk show or news show a la Meet the Press or This Week with you know who.
The funny thing too is that Al Queda's power and influence is steadily subsiding, falling victim to that which has always doomed the many ideals and causes: progress and englightenment. The world is quickly becoming a giant network, where ideas and concepts and suppositions fly at the speed of light. When you have the Youtube and the Google, you have the ultimate weapon against any dogma or tyrannical regime: freedom of thought, freedom of expression, and freedom to be yourself.
So give the boy a show; I am certain it will bring out that inner child in him (healing time Zawahri).

"...and GWB was the single best person in America to help lead our war against them." - posted above from Cruz Castillo

Are you on crack? He's done such a fine job so far. (that's sarcasam if you can't tell.)

ANY democrat will fight the war on terror better than GWB Skidog.

If you consider "Surrender" fighting, that is...

To Skidog,

Am I on Crack? First of all, there have no terrorist attacks on US soil since 9/11 so yeah, I think GWB is doing a great job.

Are you proud of your dumbocrat Pelosi smiling as the Kuran is being used to swear in an American politician? The Dumbocrats have been so brainwashed to hate GWB (due to his stance on gay marriage) that they'll hate anything he does. Fact is, its the dumbocarts and the NYT who are looking for ways to hurt our war on terror by questioning our secret tactics to protect America. Heck, even Zawahiri was thrilled to see the Dumboracts win the mid-terms.

You dems want to see Osama in the white house, go right ahead and keep wishing. Oh, and if you think preventing another attack on America since 9/11 (which was planned during Clinton's regime) isn't agood job, why don't you stay away from the crack traitor.

In the absence of bin laden, why doesn't the U.S. go after the pyramid of power? If we can't get b.l. let's get the 2nd in command. Wouldn't that move get their attention and cause them a little setback in the war on terroism?

I know that this is a complicated topic to discuss. I find myself in agreement and disagreement with a lot of writers. Honestly, I think the U.S. should give up on finding bin laden and just take down what is left of the program he had in place. I think there will NOT be peace in the middle ease as long as the U.S. is willing to drag out the song and dance of "{yes we have better manners than you of the middle east, so go ahead make your next move, we will be there to exhaust you till the end in your efforts to fight us.") ("Or my own command to the troops would be, sit and wait till we destroy you, whichever comes first.")
