what took us so long to find the right track?

http://www.kfsm.com/news/nationworld/sns-ap-eu-rus...

doesn't all the evidences points to the fact that USA was not trying to defeat terrorists but actually strengthen them?

isn't it a fact they are stronger than ever?

Update:

Pfo: No evidence indicates that the US was trying to strengthen terrorists? the fact is that they are stronger than ever. with all the best experts and advisers the west enjoys, how could they not know that these strategies are only going to strengthen the terrorists. we are talking about many many lessons in history! the only way to think why they did what they did, is that they wanted to strengthen the enemy or otherwise why couldn't they?e they wouldn't have experienced experiences all over again! a 12 years old would even know better than that.

launching an attack on USA is as easy as an immigrant crossing the border with illegal drugs or in this case a dirty bomb or so ! you tell me; how many people cross the border every day? then why do you think that they couldn't have launched an attack on USA so far?

Update 2:

than 10 years ago isn't good enough either. still pretty open and easy to cross the border! either times we were pretty vulnerable.

    There is nothing in that article that even hints at your premise so I don't understand the point. From where I am sitting I would have to say that everything you have assumed to be correct is wrong. We are not losing the war and the terrorists are on the run and practically incapable of hitting back in any effective manner.

    So where are you sitting and why do you think they are stronger? Been hit lately?

    and what track is that. we just target into Pakistan

    As far as I can see, this are the same countries that US harrassed through human rights advocates that have been patiently undermining these same goverments.

    From what I have read over the last three months, it is Europe sidestepping NATO working with Russia. Us is just tagging along at its convenience.

    We have supported terrorism since we instigated the Iran Hostage takeover. Then came Iran Contra and then we tried to Militarize our participation of the European Space Station of which we were booted of. (Europe still had not started and we were dictating).

    We start what we are unwilling to finish or so it seems. You could be unto something. Just look at the Drug Wars, no end and now it (cartels) have taken over human trafficking as well.

    EDIT: Notice how Dubai & some Middle Eastern countries are exempt from terrorism, why the elite vacation there. Either they are unto something or we are prividing security...hhmm

    Source(s): Yes, I do beleive that Terrorism has gained strength and intelligence, now they operate underground and are attempting to infiltrate western drug cartels. http://www.usnews.com/blogs/sam-dealey/2008/11/28/...

    The terrorists are definitely stronger than ever. While Bush concentrated on Iraq, pouring our resources and money into that endeavor, Al Queda and their best buddies, the Taliban, have been strengthening and carrying out vicious attacks. They have practically taken over Pakistan and hide in the mountainous regions there to attack our troops in Afghanistan.

    To add insult to injury, bin Laden once said that he would bring down the United States, just as he took down the Soviet Union...financially. Thanks to Bush and the Republicans, this has happened and we struggle with debt and with economic chaos just as the War in Afghanistan is raging.

    We didn't wise up and get on the right track because any objections to the Bush way of doing things was called unpatriotic and even treasonous. Even the Media didn't do their job of truthful reporting, because reporters were threatened with dire repercussions.

    Now, left with the shreds of what was a prosperous country, we can only keep fighting to the best of our ability, seek a solution, and hope for a victorious future.

    No evidence indicates that the US was trying to strengthen terrorists. Some speculate that they have gotten stronger, but burden of proof is still on you to prove that the US was intentionally behind this. As far as I'm concerned, they are a lot less capable of launching attacks in the US today than they were 10 years ago.

    I am led to believe that is the aim of the game to send us on course for a pre-determined WW3

    My friend Trout described it as poking a big bear with a stick, when the US are antagonistic towards super powers like Russia. Iran are also smarter than everyone thinks and know the deal with the US as do China who are another threat to the US in the publics eye.

    We all know this and so do the people behind it, so you would think? So it makes one wonder that they just want this war to help them out of the recession, which those behind the US also manufactured.

    The end result is a inevitably a very scared controllable public who don't like to feel threatened, so will go along with anything if it saves their @ss even though it is likely that is totally irrelevant.

    The elite do not care in the least for anyone being safe unless they are unimaginably rich like them, and do the deals in dollars to suit. (another story)

    Source(s): They obviously want a reaction to kill the poor

    These bailouts will only prolong the inevitable and saves the rich once again while the rest of us pay for their greed.If this isnt socialism, then what would you call it?

    Make no mistake, the End Game is almost complete.

    First they planned and drew up plans to invade Iraq and Afghanistan

    Second they let happen/created a terrorist attack to get special powers over the Constitution and people by the formation of a World monitoring structure while attached to the Military Industrial Complex

    Third - they planned and executed this entire collapse of the American loan and banking debt system for the purpose of handing the entire monetary and loan system of our Nation over to the privately owned Federal Reserve.

    The fourth step is coming - Food control and rationing along with free trips to the FEMA camps for dissenters in time of declared Martial Law.

    The goal of all of this is to get one step closer to a one World currency by using a bailout system with Canada and Mexico in the so-called conspiracy called "The North American Union". They created the collapse and now act and look like our saviors.

    From there you have the Amero - and the Euro!

    All national leaders involved will then agree that it is in the best interest of all World citizens to join those two currencies together creating one currency.

    Its all about the wealth and power and nothing about our security from terror or financial collapse!

    Absolutely - hearts and minds has been used by the British Army to defeat every single terrorist force they've come up against to date, since Borneo in 1947 - a matter of historical fact. That's all about to change now though!

    It's largely a political strategy, but the military element requires absolute restraint and discrimination in the use of force... you need to morally and politically isolate terrorists from their natural support base if you're going to cut their funding and recruitment, which implies seizing the moral high ground!

    I'd go so far as to say it was absolutely obvious that if you hit civilians, even by accident, it's liable to drive terrorist recruitment and support. Indiscriminate action is well proven to drive terrorism... try Bloody Sunday, Internment without Trial and Operation Motorman (Northern Ireland). Both the British Army and the IRA agree that these were The seminal recruitment points for republican terrorism.

    Plenty of ex-UK forces personnel went public to say that we couldn't have done a better job of driving terrorism if we'd tried. It also explains why Israeli strategy has always been a total failure: it only produces very limited effects while growing the underlying problem... it undermines those who support peaceful coexistence.

    According to official reports since published by the US State Department, Chatham House, the UK Foreign Office, MI6, MI5, JIC, Scotland Yard and others, terrorism increased 'exponentially' as a direct result of our political and military strategy.

    Anyone who doesn't understand that simple logic ought to try looking up the word 'exponential'...

    Obfuscation, lies and manipulation by Bush and his cronies. Finally people snapped out of it, I hope.

    I assume this can't be a real question? But just in case it is how can you be so out of touch with reality?
