Are we really winning the war on terror?
Most of the high level commanders of Al-Queda are still alive yet we continue are still in Iraq. Is it me or is Bush waging an ineffictive war on terror. We should be hunting down the people responsible for 9/11
but our Preisdent turned the other cheek and wanted Saddam more then Osama this is really letting me down. I hope kerry will wage an effective war on terror so most americans dont have to live in fear.(I dont live in fear because I doubt any terrorist would attack my area)

4. Yup.
And after we're done with terror, we're going to finally announce a war on ambivalence, then we'll bomb hell outta out of excessive euphoria.

5. What is the war on terror.... a front for a greater agenda... if you knew
what was contained on these audios... really knew it... then you would know what is really going on here... and it is not what you think. I wish everyone here could download these two mp3's and get with this slant, cuz in the end, it may be the only thing that will awaken us to what is truly at stake for our country... only knowing what is revealed in these lectures will allow us to right this ship...

everyone I have given this to... (on burned cd's) has absolutely fallen out after hearing them.... trust me, this is something EVERYONE needs to hear... pugs and dems alike. I am still reeling from the implications of it all.... I never knew how important the drug money and money laundering was to the U.S. economy... and I can see now why the poppy fields are in full bloom in Afghanistan.... Michael Ruppert has hit the nail on the head imho.... and he has hit it hard.

8. Winning? We already lost it.
Al Queda has succeeded beyond it's wildest expectations.

BushCo has managed to turn the entire Middle East against the U.S.

Most of the world now holds us in contempt.

Our military is bogged down and ineffectual in controlling two 3rd world nations against lightly armed guerillas.

We are expending hundreds of billions of tax dollars fruitlessly trying to protect ourselves.

The nation lives in fear and has resorted to police state tactics to protect itself from unstoppable attacks.

The nation is more divided than it was during the Vietnam conflict.

Our usual allies in Europe look at us with distrust and fear that we will do something even more stupid that Iraq.

The "terrorists" have learned that we are, indeed, a paper tiger and our much vaunted military has smart bombs and dumb leaders.

"Winning"? If we continue "winning" we'll be bankrupt and completely friendless as we descend into fascism defending the beloved corporations.
