The fact is that we will never know. Was it Bin Laden? We will never know. Was it Bin Laden, but he was already dead? We will never know. Was Bin Laden even real? We will never know.

Is AlCIAda real or does it exist only in the abstract? It seems to me that we sure claim to know a lot about a group that simply pops up or disapears at will. Who isn't AlCIAda? Better yet how many times can we kill the same exact AlCIAda leaders?

Did OBL have anything to do with 9/11? Sadly we will never know. What he was or what AlCIAda is remains a mystery, they are anything and everything our inteligence agencies want them to be.

"Alhough Obama insisted that he personally prefers a diplomatic solution to the endless dispute with the Iranian government"

When has Obama used any diplomacy?

“Even if its just 20 troops you send, if it becomes known, you better watch out for bombs targeting the American embassy,” Campbell cautioned

The UN has had troops there since 2003 and the majority of them are US troops. We are training their military, police, Coast Gaurd etc. Many of their troops are brought to the states and trained in what are basically Ranger Schools as well. We also hire private contractors to train them, for instance in 2005 we were paying DynCorp to do this. One month ago we sent a new group to extend and enlarge their "training mission". My best friends older brother is in command of the operation.

The fact is that these stories about us possibly sending troop are always popping up and they always ignore the fact that we already have troops there. I would suggest to Cambell that the people of Liberia already know this, considering they bombed the UN building 6 months ago and killed 18 people.

I take it that you were never sent there to fight. All I can say is trust me, we were fighting from day one. All Obama did was put more targets on the ground and can you tell me what good it has done?

Ps. The blame Bush BS is getting old. He was wrong butt that doesn't make Obama right.

This was the logical outcome from day one. It's one of the reasons why there was no reason to have invaded let alone staying there. I agree with you that this was their goal from day one. I would also suggest that this is our foreign policy for the entire region. Havoc, chaos and confusion leads to weak nations. Weak nations pose no real threat to us or Israel. Sure they will have to put up with the constant threat of terrorism, but it's not like the government doesn't get something from that. They get the people looking to them for protection. This of course is what the entire war on terror is about. We keep nations weak, keep the bucks rolling into the MIC and drive the sheeple farther and farther into the hands of the State.

To some our double standards seem shocking. However, I doubt that many readers of anti-war .com are even slightly surprised. Our double standards know no bounds as I'm sure we are all aware.

People would ask why this man? The answer is simple, because the house of Saud demands it. When they say jump we say how high.

So how many lawyers did our constitutional scholar need to hire before he found one that would put the proper spin on this one?

One of the saddest parts of this is that many people support this decision. It shows just how little it takes for the American public to toss out their rights.

Normaly when they come out with numbers of civilians killed it's wise to put a zero on the end, but in this case I think you could put two zeros on and be more accurate.

The Boko Haram is now a lot like Al Queda in that it's a catch all phrase for anyone who is ticked off at their messed up governement. In this case they have good reason to be mad. They have tons of oil but only a small percentage of the people get anything out of it. The government is very heavy handed and the average person is more afraid of their government then they are the Boko Haram.

it's none of our business but we already have a large troop presence. My best friends brother is actually the colonol in charge of training their troops. Which is a joke considering he is National Guard but has never seen combat and was actually range control not counter insurgency.

Yet another failed war. As terrible as this is I can only imagine how many deaths in the US can be directly attributed to the war on some drugs.
