Criminals or is it war?

Twice the radical Islamists attacked the world trade center in New York. They succeeded the last time in 9/11/2001.
Mostly, the business of the world trade center was international money changing, a practice they abhor.
Saddam did not promote the attack. Osama did by training jihadists in Afghanistan.
They are now being trained mostly in Iraq, where hardly a one existed before our invasion.
We invaded Iraq due to congress being convinced by the administration that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction and in all likelihood would strike us somewhere in the world soon.
So now we are not at war with Afghanistan and we are not at war with Iraq.
We are fighting a loose grouping of criminals who are mostly Islamic and who are picking up backing at a fast pace from similar groups in Iran and maybe Syria.
Are we now to attack Iran, replace their government and loose the criminals there upon us?
98% of the Iranians could care less about blowing us up, there or here.
The only ability any of those criminals have is just what they are doing--sniping from hiding.
None of the three countries mentioned has the ability to stop those criminals--they have tried for centuries--Saddam was only successful by killing everyone of them he could find!
I feel he didn't have long to live either.
It is CLEAR! We should not have invaded without the means to fully occupy for 10-20 years.
We must pull back and keep the pressure on from afar just as we were doing before 9/11.

Criminals or warring countries?

I will say this, we say we are "at war on terrorism" and not with the people of Afghanistan and Iraq, and I suppose Iran when we bomb them. I think we have probably got the replacement bombs made by now, so that the two B2s we have can drop them and the few B1s. A handful of stealth can also help. B-52s are in for their 60 year checkup.
I hope Afghanistan can get the record poppy crop in before we bomb it again, otherwise we will have to grant them 50 billion more for food! We tried to get them to grow black-eyed peas and raise fat-back to cook it with, but they weren't interested!

I love the way you answer your own blogs, do you talk to yourself at home too?

I have tried sometimes to let you answer but I have discovered that I can answer the questions much better. You seem to be more interested in things other than what is proposed! Like people are all dumb.

As always you didn't answer the question, here I'll type real slow so I don't get ahead of you, do you talk to yourself at home and then answer yourself? Speak louder I can't hear you in Fayetteville.
