How do the terrorists always escape?
Edited on Sat Jan-14-06 12:08 PM by ck4829
Al-Zarqawi constantly evades capture. I have seen, quite literally, a score of reports that he just evaded capture.

"Just", that means he escaped by a hair.

Al-Zawahiri was conveniently away at the time that a location he was at was bombed. We were so sure that he was there that the media had said he was killed. Something similar happened to Al-Zarqawi too.

I'm not the type of person who believes in coincidences. So stuff like this raises red flags for me.

There are 2 possibilities here:

A. Either Al Qaeda terrorists have supernatural powers and have the power to see into the future

OR

B. They know what to do before the troops do. In other words, someone high up in OUR military command is giving intelligence and information to the terrorists

They have the greatest surveillance equipment in the world, they can read license plates from space, yet they can't track terrorists and tell when they are dead?

Something IS going on here, something behind the scenes, and we need to find out what it is.

2. A third possibility
this whole terrorist threat is a scam; they simply don't exist.

11. ding ding ding!
The whole "we were right on him, but he escaped by the skin of his teeth!" scenario is just the kind of childish story believed by those who also think Bush is a strong decisive leader, and that we're bringing democracy to Iraqis by invading their country and killing a lot of them.

It's alarming, to say the least, how many isolated, ill-informed, and child-like people there are in this country who still readily believe fairy tales.

Al Qua-eda was never a large group. Bush claimed in the 2004 Presidential debates to have captured or killed most of them. Terrorism itself is a tactic, not a group, so who exactly are we fighting in Bush's War On Terror?

It's all crap. It's all an excuse to make the world safe for American based corporations.

16. Al-Zarqawi, bin Laden, Al Qaeda, etc.
are either dead or non-existent, but you won't ever hear that from the guvmint. Why would we still be fighting then? What would Joe Sixpack do if the Osama bin Laden dartboard at the local watering hole no longer held any meaning? Would he then question why his buddies overseas are still getting killed? Remember Full Metal Jacket? Joker wants to write a factual article, but his superior tells him to embellish the details and give it a happy ending. Not much different here, only the villains managed to escape, tails tucked between their legs, while our proud boys are doin' their darndest to spread deemockracee to these undeservin' sand farmers. We're On the Hunt™ and we'll Smoke 'Em Out of Their Holes™, this bunch of Cold-Blooded Killers™. It's a lot easier for Joe Six-pack to believe that fairy tale than for him to understand that the government he so fervently supports is lining their pockets with his tax dollars and using his buddies as cannon fodder to further their ends.

3. Same reason abortion is still legal
Osama is Bush's best friend. Of course, the Bin Ladens have been friends for years.

7. why would they divert from Afghanistan to invade Iraq?
Bush doesn'tgive a shit about NYC dead, Iraqis killed, or the deaths of our soldiers. All they care about is the furtherance of their consolidation of power.

9. There is no such word "Al Qaeda"
Edited on Sat Jan-14-06 12:24 PM by Rainscents
The word was made up by Neo Conservatives! I put the link to BBC documentary (3 hours long) about how Neo Conservative got started and made up word "Al Qaeda"!

14. Actually tthe word is real
it means the base... and it goes back to the 1980s, late 1980s

Now whether OBL came up with it or we did is a good question... after all back then he was still in the CIA pay roll

10. Because they are smarter than us and we are just bombing random
targets so Bush can claim he's trying. "Oooopppps, we killed 18 terrorists, and we almost got Al-Zawahiri," is what he says, but what he means is "There was this guy who wanted to marry the daughter of one of our informants, and so we bombed his house and claimed it was a terrorist hideout."

13. Jesus used to do the same thing.
He was always getting away in the midst of a crowd. 'Course, He was kind of a terrorist, too. But they finally got Him, though.
