Iran lets senior al Qaeda suspects roam free: report "Iran is permitting around 25 high-ranking al Qaeda members to roam free in the country’s capital, including three sons of Osama bin Laden, a German monthly magazine reported on Wednesday."

I wish Bush would just go ahead and invade Iran and Syria. Politically, he doesn't have much left to lose, and we certainly need to take them out. "Capitalism is the source of all true freedom."

How can he do that, without raising your taxes and instituting the draft ? I would agree that those countries pose a bigger threat to the US than Iraq did. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

While I, for one, would love to see the draft reinstituted, we don't need it for that purpose. Our forces in the area are more than adequate for the job. Most of the insurgents we are fighting are coming from those two countries, or getting their supplies from them, so Iraq would have a respite from most of the violence. Our military remains at full strength, and revenues are flowing into the government right now thanks to Bush's keeping taxes low, which is about the only thing he has done right. Economically we are in a perfect situation to do it. "Capitalism is the source of all true freedom."

Can you be sure of that ? Is the army that's concentrated in Iraq really enough to spread out on the offensive through two other countries ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Funny, you can cut and paste this to any article and try to discredit it. "Must be true then." Do you have any proof this is a lie?

Not at all.

Wow! I'd love to see that too, but for the oposite reason of yours. It would be like trying to extinguish fire with gasoline. Americans would become radioactive in the middle-east for the next 20 years. You would have to say goodbye for cheap oil, goodbye to any influence in the region, ... Oh, well, it would be to good to be true. Even Bush can't be so crazy...:sigh: Dadinho é o caralho! Meu nome agora é Zé Pequeno, porra!

They could probably refuel ofer Iraq. They (F-15) did a pretty good job in Iraq in 1981. http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/june/7/newsid_3014000/3014623.stm

Yeah, that's plainly the case. I certainly hope that is not the plan though. Can you imagine what would come next ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

As Chris said, I'm merely talking about defeating them militarily. Frankly, I would defeat them than leave them to rebuild as they best see fit without us there. While they were recovering, Iraq would have a chance to form a solid political infrastructure. Factions in both Syria and Iran would see an example of a free and democratic Islamic nation and would be motivated to follow suit. A scenairo such as that is about the only hope I see for long term success in the region. "Capitalism is the source of all true freedom."

I think that's near sighted thinking, but I could be wrong. You don't think that the response would be daily terrorist attacks on US soil ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Fair enough. You win, and I am shamed to silence.

Really ? What do you think they would seek to build ? I'd guess bombs and people to strap them to.
