Oh no, let's run for fear... NOT. Those who fear terrorist have given the terrorist exactly what they want: Fear.

Bush had no qualms about invading a country that had NOTHING to do with 9/11 (but they have OIL)...but refuses to do anything about a country that protects Bin Laden and Al Qaida (Pakistan has no OIL). Five billion of US taxpayer dollars a year going to the country that allows Bin Laden and Al Qaida to grow and plan new attacks. What ever happened to Bush's solemn vow "...we'll go after any country that harbors terrorists"? Seems that oil, not ethics or US security...is his priority. Bush is turning out to be a complete wimp.

Pull the current sufi Kutb out of the tribal area - then nuke it to utter non-existance...

I'm so MAD we haven't made a dent in AQ. Could Bush & Co be more incompetent?!!!

We can't even get Bin Laden! I blame Bush for this. He wanted the money. He wanted to invade Iraq to make a big chaotic mess where billions of dollars can change hands without being tracked.
Well, he got what he wanted and made us less safe and more hated than ever.

If Bush had wanted oil in Iraq it would have been easier for him to cut a deal with Sadaam like those paragons Chirac and Putin.
As for his reluctane in attacking Pakistan, it might have more to do with them having nukes than anything else.

We are too busy playing the lying, deceitful left wing-right wing games instead of being Americans and demanding that the terrorists be wiped out like Harry Truman would have done. You cannot play footsie with these religious lunatics.

Hey ....This war needs to stop now and we must pull out or we will be subjected to an onslaught of scary or mainly one event terrorism that could change the way we look at this forever..Why take such a risk?...Why should millions and thousands of Americans be put at risk thanks to the poorly construed policies of the leadership in our country?..It's not only upsetting ,but;very frieghtening to me and should as well for all of our citizens

wilder5121, Pakistan has nukes, seems any country with nukes is off limits to invasion. Thats why Iran and now the rest of the muslim countries are in a race to acquire them.

A "Terror Training Camp Graduation Ceremony". Why, oh why, can't we just quit PC-ing around ? Just like that "funeral" where several dozen Taliban capos were gathered a while back. If we are to survive this fight, we need to take it to them.

TURNING out to be a complete wimp?? This is not a new revelation. Bush has been a major embarassment since he took office and I am ashamed that he represents me. It is no surprise to me that his priorities are constantly changing. The only thing you can count on with this administration is that you can't count on them.

You tell Mr. Dadullah to come and get it. If he hurts the hair of one American we are going to smoke his arse big time. I am so sick of the threats. Bring it on....and make may day you medieval cretan.

Have I not conveyed? Oh God be my witness a quote used by Al Zawahiri in his last video. A quote from the last sermon of Mohammed. In which Mohammed said goodbye to his followers.

Whatever they are planning is so massive that Al Zawahiri does not expect to escape the wrath that will come afterwards.

If I had the means at this very moment I would be leaving whatever major centre of population I was in and heading into the countryside. Is it a nuclear weapon? brought on the blackmarket an smuggled in, in a diplomatic bag.

"You will, God willing, be witness to more attacks," You ever notice that whenever they make empty threats and other claims they always add the caveat "God Willing"?

Impeach Cheny and Bush as soon as possable. They have done more than enough damagr to our country.

I wish we would start getting some of that oil. Gas costs way too much right now.

Looks like Bush is going to let another 9/11 happen.

Just like a liberal to blame the president, do you really think that the democrats are going to let us go and invade another country even if it to get Osama bin laden. Grow up and stop the hatred work with the comannder in chief, don't be a supporter of al queda by underminding the war effort. You libs are going to destroy this country.

I agree Wlkrdude. What did happen to the "We will make no distinction between the terrorists and those who harbor them" comment?? That was a Rah Rah moment I guess. It's really disappointing that we have no leadership in this country.

Wilder: You might take into your rather hasty conclusion that Pakistan has nuclear weapons and a lot of them.
If we were to attack Pakistan their people would back the Taliban with all of their efforts including nukes.

For you people who think we invaded iraq for oil but won't invade Pakistan need to remember that your Dem Pres Clinton allowed Pakistan to get the A-bomb. We can't invade due to fear of upsetting the crazies in Pakistan government to receive a retalliatory nuke strike.

Wilder: er, um there is a big difference why Bush did nothing.
Iraq = no nukes
Pakistan = lots of nukes
Musharraf is one of those tin pot dictators that keeps the Islamic Fundamentalists in line. If the US go into his country to get Bin Laden et. al. and you have a larger Iraq-like situation with nukes in the balance as the Islamic fundamentalists will overthrow Musharraf for letting the Great Satan in. Just what we need, another mess. Couldn't we just EMP the area to shut down bin-Laden's dialysis machine?

wilder5121, why don't you find another rallying cry? Oil. Can't you liberals think of anything better than that? It's been used for the last 30 years when it comes to just about any Republican president. Why don't you blame global warming or the rich. Oh yeah, you do that already. Better yet, why don't you make an attempt to understand how the world works. If Bush fooled most of the Senate and Congress into voting to invade Iraq, who's the idiot?

We should bomb the tribal regions of Pakistan into oblivian. We need to show these terrorists we mean business. If innocent people die... so be it. This is war. Innocent die. They use these people to hide behing because they know we will not atack. Parties over. Get serious as we did in Germany. Send the B-52 and the ships and don't stop till it's done. No surrendering. They will use that tactic to escape as they did in Tora Bora. Enough is enough.

We're not getting any sweetheart deals on oil from Iraq, so I think it's bogus to suggest that as a motivator for the invasion. I think we invaded Iraq because there were bad guys there that we could attack with relatively small scale losses (and yes, 3000 or so troops, who freely signed up to be soldiers knowing the risks, is in fact relatively small scale). I think we don't invade Pakistan because even though there are bad guys there, Pakistan has missiles that can hit us in Iraq and Afghanistan, and they have nukes they can put in these missiles. Which seems like a good reason to work harder to prevent Iran from getting nukes, if you think about it.

You tell Mr. Zawahiri and Mr. Bin Laden that they are cowards. Come out of your caves and hiding places and face us like Men. You send your evil minions to do your dirty work. It is easy to send others to their deaths while you hide out deep in the earth. Come out of your caves and show yourselves. Lead the charge. Cowards.

This can't be true or Harry and Nancy would be doing something about it instead of chasing ghosts.

interesting how W says we invaded Iraq to make the US safer but by al qaida's own admission they are sending terrorists to attack us? does that not make the rest of the country wonder what was the real reason for invading a country which had no business being attacked. instead, W's vision of oil and revenge took precedent over vanquishing the real enemies in afghanistan and now pakistan. thanks W for your great vision and overall lack of knowledge. i guess if we just wait long enough for our military to be stretched even thinner we will be at the mercy of terrorists doing as they please in our backyard. and thanks for securing our border as well. this administration is simply a waste and for those idiots that voted him in twice the blood of our nation is on your hands for your stupid choice!

Wilder: er, um there is a big difference why Bush did nothing.

I am so sick of these garbage propaganda stories.

Terrorism is a joke. Really.

So a FEW PEOPLE MIGHT GET HURT OR KILLED. Yeah, that sucks but that is life. Death is the one certainty in life.

How many millions die from starvation? From
medical malpractice and improper medication? How many die in car accidents? From alcohol poisoning?

This terror porn feeds into the lies of those who profit from creating war and misery, on all sides of the game.

Why is broadcast television in trouble?
Spoon fed garbage like this that feeds the lowest common denominator.

Be responsible. Look at the Whole Picture. Question sources, consider agendas.

Terrorism is all about creating fear to achieve political goals. So, as hyperbolic as it may sound, the real terrorists are being served by your reactive reporting of spoon fed stories.

Pakistan is still open to terrorist groups because the Administration deliberately chose to ignore the stated goal of "draining the swamp" in favor of flooding the marshes in Iraq.

Do some real reporting. Please

To Paraphrase a truly Great American:

"The only thing to be TERRIFIED of, is TERROR itself!"

no truer words has any American spoken!

I agree wilder.....tactical nukes are available for a reason and should have been used Sept 12, 2001 as well as now..it is time America tells the world...this is what happens when you mess with America.

Sounds like ABC is to cowardly to post what I said.

Just like a liberal to blame the president, do you really think that the democrats are going to let us go and invade another country even if it to get Osama bin laden. Grow up and stop the hatred work with the comannder in chief, don't be a supporter of al queda by underminding the war effort. You libs are going to destroy this country.

The only solution is to vote Cindy Sheehan into Congress! Yes Virgina, America CAN be destroyed and the liberals and demoncrats are just the people to do it!

Damn,some of you people are idiots. I almost added "liberal" but that would have been redundant.

These terrorist are for real what they say they do. They know that the american people aren't listening until it happens and when it does they point thier fingers at Bush that's what these terrorist want every one is in thier playbook of terrorism's. They know that the american people would just ignore thier goverment's help and mostly ignore the terrorist themselves. America can't defeat the World Islamic Front peroid becuase of wimps who cant' stand up to it. Just blaming our goverment for nothing who are trying to keep us safe from an Al-qaeda massacre. These is a global movement that has been going on since the mid 90's. This war aint for oil this is for our freedom. Join us or join them. let see whose heads will roll.

Yeah, invade and make mad a nuclear armed islamic country. I seriously doubt that'll happen.

Nice sit down with the enemy Ross. Another ABC terror exclusive!

Yes, the oil thing has certainly worked well for the President(right...).Of which Bush do you speak...the incompetent one or the evil one?

You're such foolish little people.

We can all rest easy, in a year and a half Hillary and the Democrats can follow through on their commitment to find and punish Bin Laden. Time invade an sovereign nation with nuclear capability. Hopefully, Murtha leads that charge!

Everyone can bicker back and forth forever about whether we should be in Iraq, why didn't we get Bin Laden etc.,etc., but we are in real danger here folks. All the bickering is doing is delighting the enemy. It is time to wake up and realize the evil that we are facing and unite to defeat it, if we do not it will be the death of us all.

Already the liberal morons are going to once again blame GW, yet they do not have a clue to understanding how international politics work.

All liberals are cowards and do not give a crap about our soldiers. To them everything America does is wrong. They make excuses for the irrational behavior of terrorists and criticize those who go after them. Liberals are just as dangerous to American as are terrorists.

P.S. If we invaded Iraq for oil, we would not be paying as much as we are. Use your head and get a life.

Do we have to form our own militia and go into Pakistan ourselves. Hey..I'll go

I wish the democrats would stop stalling our military and let them go and do what they do best. Kill the enemy. It's the peace lovers that cause all our young soldiers to get killed. We should have dropped a tactical nuke there and been done with it. Bush is probably the best President this nation has seen in DECADES. The democrats are too dumb to see it.

Let's keep the faith, guys. America is the best country in the world.

I don't really think it's possible for the Muslim world to hate anybody, including us, any more than they do simply for existing as non-Muslims who won't submit to them as their religion demands, so I'm not really concerned about their "feelings" when we make war on them. What I _would_ like is for the war to be fought more aggressively, more decisively, more brutally (at least as brutally as they are fighting it, preferrably considerably more so), and, of course, more competently (which I will have to concede and agree is not currently happening). We are in a 1300+ year old war, started by Mohammed against all non-Muslims, and the _only_ way to win a war, the _only_ way ANY war has EVER been won, is to convince the other side that violence will not produce the goals they seek but rather only bring them unabsorbable levels of destruction against their own side.

Hey Marilyn,

Bush has done a hell of a lot more to secure this nation than that joker Slick Willie. Willie could have taken out UBL at least 3 times but the coward didn't pull the trigger. The blood of 3000 murdered Americans from 9/11/01 is without a doubt on Willie's hands.

I just love how you libs get more upset the the CIC than you do with the terrorists perpetrating the crimes.

Marylin
(slap)
Who cares if paki's hate us? YOu need to get a grip. If you want them to love us soo bad, then pack your things and become an, uh, ambassador of love to that part of the world.
What's that? Armchair diplomats all of you....

Marilyn, so WHAT! Get over it!

It's time for us to make a deal with the Chinese government. They can have Tawain and continued favorable trade agreements. We get to bomb the Taliban/Queda areas of Pakistan at will and destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities.
It's a win/win.

Terrorists prey on the innocent. Every effort should be made to bring the terrorists to justice. Also, please help me find my stolen 1949 Chevy

Why put Hillary in the White House, Bill Clinton wasted 8 years as we were attacked all over the world. Al Queda was able to grow in strength and numbers while BC sat on his butt.

ahem, the london attacks were homegrown terrorists, the glasgow attacks by highly educated young men with no apparent ties to al queda - but sloppy journalism ensues. is this another made up story by the CIA, cheney and co to promote fear? no one believes the US government anymore, since they lie so much, have lied about everything since bush stole into the white house. how on earth are we supposed to believe anything this crayon colored alert fiasco with the nazi name of HOMELAND?
give me a break.

Oh yeah and when Queen Hillary and her consort are back in the White House we will all Be MUCH Safer and have pie in the sky bye & bye...If you believe that I have a gold & uranium mine in the White Water development for sale.. And Uh ...I seem to remember the 1st World trade center bombing after which the Queen and the Slickster did nothing....But hey the Clintons and Janet El Reno did teach David Koresh and those boobs that Bill & Hill are not to be triffled with.

"Well, he got what he wanted and made us less safe and more hated than ever."

Less safe? Maybe. More hated than ever? Hardly. These animals hated us long before the Iraq invasion. Remember the World Trade Center bombing? Remember the World Trade Center falling? Remember the two U.S. Embassy attacks in Africa? Remember the U.S.S. Cole? Bush is not the cause of their hatred. The "religion of peace" is the cause of their hatred.

Something funny is going on with the time stamps here.....Official time and these posts are off by 10 minutes, yet consective time stamps....Boiler room postings? or am I seeing into the future now?

Osama Bin Laden is on the loose. AL Qaeda's strength has returned to pre-9/11 levels. Looks like everything is pretty much the way Bill Clinton left it. So what's to worry about? Clinton did think there was much of a terrorist threat back then. Why should we now?

You morons. Invading Pakistan would completely destabilize the Musharraf government and would risk landing nukes in the hands of crazies.

wilder5121: Invading a country with functional nukes is a terrible idea...

It is indeed an outrage that our government knows where these people are located and refuse to do anything about it. These "tribal areas" where al Qaeda, the Taliban and bin Laden are supposedly hiding out should be carpet-bombed with bunker-busting bombs until there is nothing left of them.

Consider that Pakistan is nuclear and Muslim--Musharraf is barely in control and if he loses to the radicals , our problems would make OBL look irrelevant. Easy to rant , but difficult to comprehend the tenuous influence the West has in Pakistan- no one has control of the tribal areas & no one has control of the mountainous borders.

We got Saddam, his sons and about 90% of their leaders but you no longer hear that on ABC or NBC or CBS or CNN or MSNBC. I guarantee you, when we get OBL, you will hear this from the MSM: "Well, it's about time!" I know the left and how they report before they report.

The people here blaming Bush are such utter fools.
Don't you understand that YOU are now the policy of no war and to sit back and wait for an attack.

Don't you get it in asking yourself what is the US response? We can not go to war, we can not invade, we can not attack with conventional weapons.
You people have set this up that the only response left will be nuclear when a mass attack happens like 9 11.

Get the point, you are responsible as it is your policy. You won, Bush lost. Your policy will initiate a nuclear response in the Middle East strongholds of al Qaeda.

This is you and not Bush. Enjoy your armchair quarterbacking
You just set the stage for nuclear warfare and it is all your fault as you left no other response.

Now who is the bright boy with the world in a grave you dug.

Wouldn't be much fear of terrorists if we were chasing after them. They are in Pakistan, not Iraq.

We got Saddam, his sons and about 90% of their leaders but you no longer hear that on ABC or NBC or CBS or CNN or MSNBC. I guarantee you, when we get OBL, you will hear this from the MSM: "Well, it's about time!" I know the left and how they report before they report.

You people on the far left are kooks. For oil? To create a huge mess? Bush is not the best president but the only wimps out there are these whining gutless wimps who can't wait to surrender every war we have fought since WWII. Stay off the kook left web sites and your brains may heal a little. Some times you have to fight to protect your country. Thankfuly, we do not rely on you for this task.

Hey Marilyn...I'm sure that once Queen Hillary and her uh consort get back in the the White House will we all be real safe again, right?? just like we were when the World Trade Center was bombed or the 1st time, Just like when the USS Cole was attacked...Don't ask ...Don't tell.

Are you seriously blaming Bush?? Doesn't CONGRESS vote all this into being offered to Pakistan? WOW, Bush haters with ZERO understanding of what Pelosi, and kennedy, and Boxer, And even Lurch voted for...wow...talk about Denial!

I'm starting to become ashamed to be an American. We are whimps. We should be feared with the military we have but our government has moved so far from reality, that a bunch of people in a desert far away can defeat us. It's sad.

Before you folks start bashing Bush to the nth degree, have we been attacked since 9/11? How many times were our interests, not to mention the World Trade Center Bombings, attacked under the Clinton Administration. He had Bin Laden within his cross-hairs and he let him go repeatedly. Remember that before you vote for Bill and Hill again.

This quote from wilder 5121 is funny, "Bush had no qualms about invading a country that had NOTHING to do with 9/11..." I guess you forgot like most Americans with their temporary yellow flags and short term memories that the country you are talking about was actually harboring Bin Laden at the time. Oh, was that Bush's fault too? If I were you I'd be mad because Clinton let Bin Laden get away when he had the opportunity to capture him.

After the next attack (and there will be another...just a matter of time), I'd give the locals 24 hours to vacate and then nuke the place out of existence. Do the same to Iraq...make it a permanent parking lot. I don't understand why we wait.

I'm starting to become ashamed to be an American. We are whimps. We should be feared with the military we have but our government has moved so far from reality, that a bunch of people on camels in a desert far away can defeat us. It's sad.

Wilder5121:

Pakistan has nukes, which makes the situation appreciably different.

So, shall we elect more liberals who want to "redeploy" our troops so that absolutely nothing is done?

We should finish what we began in Iraq, so that these terrorists are not embolden by our lack of will or resolve. We should also go in and clean them out of Pakistan's mountains. They are an infestation.

Hey AQ hit the US again and you will seal your doom...

ohhh scary!

run libs run. See the libs run with fear. See the libs blame President Bush for being alive. make up things and then believe them.

how funny!

"refuses to do anything about a country that protects Bin Laden and Al Qaida"

So you are for an attack on Pakistan, then? Should it be a nuclear strike?

Bush and Co. CREATED Al Q. Why would they want to destroy them? Osama, beng the kingpin, would be a devasting blow to the "organization". Why get rid of the enemy created by you if you are using that enemy to "have your way" with the U.S. military machine? There would be no reason to continue in Afganistan or Iraq if Al Q was gone.

ok, here we go. open up the floodgates for the liberal hate and rant machine.

Let it out people. Let it out.

It's a healthy process (like puking when you drink too much). I think dry heaving will be necessary though.

Lots of foaming at the mouth for the liberals to do before they get it all out of your system.

p.s. where do liberals get so much hatred?

Pakistan has done a lot, but there are some remote territories that are lawless. Unfortunately the Media and Liberal Democrats have succeeded in turning public opinion against the war on terror. They have succeeded in making it impossible to conduct an operation into Iran or Pakistan. Good Job Liberals and Media. WE are less safe now because of you.
