Osama and Iraq

I just can't see how anyone with a right mind (or left for that matter)could think our invasion of Iraq has hurt Osama or Al-Qaede. He knew that it would create more anger againest the U.S., more recruits for his cause, and take the heat off of him. Not to speak of the 1.5 million Iraqi/Muslim refuges that are now perspective terrorist. Do you think he is saddened by the fact that over 4000 of our brave men and women have been killed in Iraq? Over four thousand Americans killed and Osama didn't have to lift a finger. It's easier to kill Americans when their in your own back yard. Bush and Cheney played right into Osama's hands and so did most of Congress. The Iraqi people will run the remaining terrorist out of their country without our help, it may even unite their people in a common cause. Then they will follow the American troops to Afghanistan, as some already have.

It is time to stop thinking with the left or the right and use the Whole Brain.

Wow

Oh my gosh... if Al-qaeda attacks we should elect Mccain because Obama blah blah blah... since when do AMERICANS do what AL-QAEDA wants? If their plan is to attack us and get us scared and into getting Mccain elected the obviously Obama would be the better choice. I tend not to side with terrortists.. do you?

Terrorist for Obama

"So after two year, Iraq would be definitely a heaven for terrorists."

Of course, if there was no invasion in the first place, we would be left with Afghanistan, Yemen and a few others (only) as havens. The United States would not have created a real world training ground for terrorists. The U.S. military would have been much better suited and capable of dealing and waging the "War on Terror".

Terrorist for Obama

Terrorist would definitely vote for Obama. Under Obama's plan , our troops would go home in two years. While McCain's plan is no time limit. I do not believe Iraq would be under control in two year. So after two year, Iraq would be definitely a heaven for terrorists. Now if you are the terrorist, who would like to vote. Of course, it is Obama.

I think Osama would support Obama for the president rather than the idot McCain.

Terrorist

If Terrorist could vote . who would they vote for? Think about it please befroe you turn our country over to a amrxist.

McCain not fit for Office!

McCain is clearly showing that he is not fit for office, health wise and in his judgements. Age does not Guarantee the right and correct experience and that is definitely the same with claims of military service, so don't be fooled by that!

The McCain campaign has now become clearly desperate that now it has chosen slurs and personal character attacks rather than Policy. In last Tuesday's debate McCain showed he is based in The Past, he is a man of yesterday. What we need now is Change not more of The Bush Years!

McCain's judgement continually must be questioned, his choice of Palin as VP candidate gave a very very short bounce, but once voters started to see through the hockey mom and her being a woman, she also shows bad judgement and abuse of power, to think by default quickly she could become our president is frightening!

Indeed. The REAL terrorism fighter is Obama, not son-of-an-admiral McCain. Even Bin Laden knows this. Why don't we?

BLOATED Domestic Spending? On What? The Bridges are Falling, our schools aren't teaching. We aren't spending money domestically. We are wasting it on the Evil and Disgusting Military Industrial Complex! We are wasting it on wars, war on drugs and prisons! Prisons for non-violent criminals! We are wasting money bailing out Insurance Companies, Banks and Wall St. Not the people who are suffering. Socialism is saving the failing Corporate Capitalists! We need to close the bases around the world and invest that money we save into the infrastructure of this nation, giving our children better health and better education so they can grow up to make for a better future for all.

Why Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda Might Try to Affect the Election Between Barack Obama and John McCain

WOW! Now I have heard it ALL! Well, I am glad the Democrats or the Media or the Republicans or whoever is finding a New SCAPEGOAT to blame the elections on other than Ralph Nader! Who else can we blame, Ronald McDonald for making americans to FAT and UNHEALTHY to walk over to the polling booth?

Come On People. Seriously, we need to get together as americans and have some REAL debates in this country (that include ALL the Presidential Candidates - Ralph Nader, Bob Barr, Cynthia McKinney and Chuck Baldwin and the two big guys). Lets hear real debates, truth and honesty, a fair and transparent government, lets choose who would do this country right!

Lets NOT Vote out of Fear. Thats what they want, they want to suppress our voice and our choice (and by they I mean the powers who be who rule this country with an iron stranglehold! the previous government, the two big parties that want to stay in control of the government, our lives and eventually the world! - I do NOT mean Usama Bin laden nor do I mean al-qaeda, they can NOT affect our voting choices) Be skeptical of any videos that do come out pre election trying to persuade you to vote out of fear. It might not even be a real tape, but a scare tactic to try to make you vote one way or another. The system is broken, the system is crooked I suggest you all go out and dig deep for information and learn how crooked both parties of our government really are!

Sandy I think you said it best..... GOD help America. Until America comes back to God. Then it does not matter who is in office. God will not protect a country that takkes us out of their lives, out of their schools. When a tragedy takes place we wonder where was God? Well right were we left him. BEHIND.
