McCain said the terrorist are going to follow us here if we pull out of Iraq, when did Alqaeda get a navy?

sososad

wow, i bet you didn't expect all these negative answers huh? I see where you were going with this, but McCain wasn't talking about their military is gonna come over here. Everyone knows their military is practically non existent. Their strengh is in all the closed minded terrorist groups and individuals. Osama isn't some general over there. He's just one of the popular ones. McCain is saying we will get more terrorist attacks like 911. They way I see it though. Us being there isn't stopping any of that. Our borders are still crappy and our immigration laws are not as airtight as they could be. I hope this helps a bit. Sorry about all your negative answers up there. You really should make sure you know what your saying on this sensitive subject.

They don't need boats, a$$hat, they hijack planes!

Aegis of Freedom

Yeah, because they used a navy on 9/11.

There should be an IQ test to let people post on here, so morons like you would be left out.

pusherhombre

Remember 9/11? Why would they need a Navy or a Marine Corps if they can get a break, regroup in Iraq, and fly planes into the rest of our buildings here?

You need to read history. Were you born yesterday?

On magic carpets? Its the same lame rhetoric we've heard as our borders remain open and the traitor politicians pass a blanket amnesty, destroying our country.

jurge06

They did not need a navy in 92 or 2001.

Robby's Girl

Are you really dumb or just acting dumb? They will sneak in here just like the 19 did before. Why do think that in order to be hit again, we must be attacked military style?!?! We need to completely shut immigration down until we get our system under control.

The Central Scruitinizer

McCain is right!
Airlines, cruise ships. In through our Northern and Southern borders. Not to mention the ones that are already here.
Obviously you haven't got a clue. If we pull out of Iraq the terrorists will first kill tens of thousands of the people who have fought against them. Then proceed to infect the rest of the world.
How dare you insult our military!
Why don't you join the service and help, instead of putting foolish questions here?
If you are going to talk the talk then do the walk and see how your opinion changes.

well in case you didn't realize, al quaeda didn't come here on a boat on 9/11

i really dont think most of the posters could finish an IQ test much less score,,but hey it's America

They'll fly commercial.

I don't necessarily disagree with Sen. McCain on this, but wonder why they're not doing this already? I mean, there are thousands of insurgents involved in the fight in Iraq...what keeps them from freeing up a few dozen to come over here via Dubai airlines and try something? The asymmetrical nature of terrorist warfare dictates that they engage their enemy when they know the enemy has superior resources and training. I just don't see us engaging them in Iraq as a means from stopping them from trying to pull another 9/11.

I think McCain was trying to say that the focus of the terrorists would change. The implication is that leaving Iraq would free up the terrorists to do something else. I think that kind of thinking is ridiculous because it assumes that the terrorists are so all-consumed with Iraq that they couldnâ€™t possibly consider terrorist attacks in the US or elsewhere. The invasion of Iraq has aided the extremists in worldwide recruitment. Theyâ€™re not all in Iraq blowing things up.

If we keep underestimating the terrorists and try to define them in simplistic terms, as having limited thinking and linear objectives, and by spouting stupid slogans, we wonâ€™t do well in this war on terrorism.

there you go, peeing all over perfectly good propaganda. How can he keep everyone afraid if you're going to be so logical about things.

usmc

Ignorance must be bliss, does it make your life a little easier to deal with? They did not need a Navy for 9/11 did they? Get real & use common sense! Thanks though I needed a laugh.

Melissa S

Wow, you're a real tool, you know that?

Team Chief

Judging by both your "question" and the additional comments you've added, I'm not going to waste my time in posting an answer.

I'll just get your "question" deleted instead.

Have a nice day.

Enterrador

No one is going to follow us here, the Iraqis will continue to kill each other until one group has total power over the country. There were terrorists post 9/11 and there are terrorist now. It is just a tactic McCain is using to have the feeble minded follow him, hey if you leave your house the bees will follow you, will that make you not want to leave your house?

A Baller In Da House

i think Bush Sr sold them warships
Rummy delivered it to them with a solid handshake

Stormchaser

So that's why they hijacked a British vessel....wow

Politically Wrong

You have brought DUMB to a new all time low

Ok, I am actually going to try to answer this without insulting you.

Al-Quada's primary method of attacking is to use terrorism.

Terrorism is defined as "terÂ·rorÂ·ism (tr-rzm) KEY

NOUN:

The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons. "

In this you do not need conventional military forces, mainly because you are using force against non-military targets that have little or no hope of fighting back.

So, yes they could conduct terrorist operations within the US without having to employ the military assets you mentioned, hence the 9/11 attack.

Ok, since you amended your question I will answer that too.

McCain is saying that right now Iraq is a black hole for terrorists. Meaning they all want to go there and fight US forces and they are dieing in Iraq. So what he means is instead of allowing them time to plan to come into the US and attack us there, we are killing them in Iraq with Americans that can actually shoot back.

They are going to fight us, we can either fight them here or in Iraq is what he is saying. Personally I would rather have them fight US military forces than normal people who are just trying to get to work for the day. Thats just me, call me crazy.

Ok...
Now you just said "So h h explains how the terrorist are going to fly jumbo jets into our buildings by cutting and pasting the definition of terrorism...well that answers everything now does it. Here he goes. "See, we need kill Iraq so no mo terrorist be killin us here in merica...it be dat simpa."

I did not attempt to explain how they would carry out another terrorist attack within the US, I was simply trying to explain what terrorism is to you.

You made the statement " Here he goes. "See, we need kill Iraq so no mo terrorist be killin us here in merica...it be dat simpa."

Yes it is that simple. Right now they are going to Iraq because it is much easier to get into that country to attack the US there. Yes they are going to attack us whether we are back home or somewhere else. Also they do not want a Western style democracy in the heart of the middle East. Yes, all the people who would normally be conducting terrorism in the US or overseas are attempting to do so in Iraq against Americans who are far better suited to deal with it than normal civilians back home.

You seem to have the mentality that we cannot be attacked on US soil, that type of arrogant thought led to the 9/11 attack in the first place.

Based on the things you are asking and saying I would imagine that you are either extremely misinformed, or intoxicated.

Ok, Huckleberry
"hh, based on the simplicity of your responses, do you honestley think I am going to waste time answering you intelligently? There are so many ways to disect your arguments that it would be boring to even go there. I'm just having fun with you dude, just STFU nad take it like a man ;-)"

My answers are simple because obviously in this venue they cannot be complex or it would take all day. You could disect my arguments and then I could very easily back them up with fact, and good references. Based on what I have seen here from you I am quite sure that you would look like a fool just like you have been thus far.

If anyone needs to STFU its probley you, and maybe you should use your time to read a book or two on geo-politics, terrorism, or the use and employment of military forces.
