Fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here?

Jade

There would be no good place to fight them, but I would surely rather fight them there than here. Imagine trying to protect our kids from the suicide bombers at the bus stop.

We should have made that whole place a parking lot years ago. Problem solved.

9/11 was a result of dealing with the enemy instead of attacking him when you knew where he was. It is true that if you don't fight them over there with our borders as wide open as they are you can guarantee they will be over here.

YES

I think it shows that having one slogan to falsely represent several different strategies around the globe is just whitewashing. People can't make general statements and slogans while covering their eyes from actually analyzing the situation one way or the other.

Well, its a meaningless slogan if you don't actually back it up. But it is obvious that if instead of lobbing missles onto empty tents in the desert. That if we had instead made launched a full scale attack on the Terrorist in Afgahnistan the 911 attack could have been prevented.

Yes it is a meaningless slogan, except for 9/11. And we even will fight them there when there is no reason . . . no reason, that is, that makes any sense to the average American. Now, if you happen to me a member of the Trilateral Commission, or the Council on Foreign Affairs ( by the way neither of these are government agencies despite their official sounding names ), the Bilderbergs, the Illuminati, then wars for no reason make prefect sense, but not here because that is in these members front yard.

Even though I've used this "slogan", I really feel it's rather simplistic.

To a certain point, I'm sure it's true. Like any military force, the terrorist organizations have limited resources. So if they think they can achieve their desired aim and expend less resources by attacking Americans in the Mideast, they will do that.

But to even begin to believe that they are not planning to attack us in the homeland because the military is taking it to them in the Mideast.... well that's a sure recipe for disaster.

So, all of you back home.... be sheepdogs, not sheep. Keep your guard up.

Yeah. They are still citing the Crusades as a reason too.

So how come you leave out the Barbary Coast Wars? They don't.

al Zawahiri was alive then, but I imagine too young to remember, so I'm not willing to give them the 1954 Lebanese Civil War as valid.

"Can you deny that it's true? We do fight them over there, and with the exception of 9/11, we don't have to fight them here!"

That is the most ridiculous BS I've heard this minute!

We didn't fight them at 9/11, WE WERE BOMBED!! Dumbasses such as yourself are the reason this country STILL hasn't done **** to stop this Iraq pillaging!

Smoker 06, you summed it up perfectly.

Yes, its just a meaningless slogan, which could be interpreted by some as a license to go and make pre-emptive war with whomever they consider could possibly be a threat... Or, perhaps more accurately, whoever has the biggest oil and mineral reserves and isn't a "functioning" state with a puppet government and a central bank in the new global world empire.

Americans are bartering their civil liberties for security. I believe that I can say that is a fact. Wire taps, secret prisons, politicians want to outlaw speech not deemed "patriotic" and the people either agree or become passive. I adamantly believe Benjamin Franklin when he wrote, "Those who would trade liberty for security deserve neither."

9/11, The first attack on The WTC in the 90's, The shoe Bomber on a flight into Boston, does this sound like it is meaningless?

chemcook

Gee, like they couldn't spare a few suicide bombers to send over here even when at war? Does anyone who says that even think about how ridiculous they sound?

I 'm with you, fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here is bull sh##. America never had war on her land. Only war for Independence ( who didn't have that ) and slave war or North and South ( only slave war in the World )
America is in constant paranoia of being attacked. When 9/11 happened well it was end of the world. It sad for the people inside the building. But it is a building and nothing else
Isn't propaganda strange. Every body is talkingg about Twins but no body is talkin about one wing of Pentagon being destroyed.

Coolnickname.

And so you're saying its better to fight them here instead of over there?

tickled blue

as is the 'war on terror.'

Rick K

Can you deny that it's true? We do fight them over there, and with the exception of 9/11, we don't have to fight them here!

God bless America.
