> 1.) It distracts the US from attacking Al Qaeda. > We never let up on al Qaeda.
Yes we did. we took troops, weapons and money out of Afghanistan that we needed to persue the Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters that came here and killed Americans. > 2.) It erodes world support for America (except for Russia). > I don't agree. Great argument, how about you ask someone from overseas their opinion of what's going on? How about you look at some of the opinion polls and all the research showing that we are far less respected internationally than we have ever been. > 3.) It creates a test bed for techniques and weapons. > Doesn't every war? The difference is the terrorists are dying in this > training camp. More terrorists are coming from other nations everyday. This has become a problem in Afghanistan as well. Look at a map sometime and see how many Islamic nations there are buddy. > 4.) It creates a terrorist recruiting dream: find the good attackers > and take them global. > Huh? Recruit the good cell leaders, export them to the 'new' conflict areas like asisa. > 5.) It depletes America's war chest. > Helps us clean out the old tired weapons and build fresh ones :) Ok, and who is going to pay for that? Also how is an M-1 Abrahms, or the M-4 rifle, or the 150,000 a shot Javelin an old tired weapon? > 6.) It demoralizes Americans. > Only people like you do that. You are a fool > 7.) It demoralizes our troops. > Only people like you do that. See last > 8.) It creates a false sense for security for people that buy the > "fight them there" propaganda. > As opposed to the real security of just sitting around and waiting? How about investing in real border and immigration security? > 9.) It creates an enormous risk of CREATING another Afghanistan. > They grow poppy in Iraq? No, they have oil. Far more valuable. > 10.) Americans are dying 2 per day from criminals of convenience > rather than global terrorists. > You think the insurgents are just criminals and not global terrorists? I think some wouldn't give a shit about the US if we weren't in that country right now.
