If they were all in one spot a single Daisy Cutter could solve that problem .
Twelve thousand against the best trained , best equipped , and most powerful force in history ? Pffffftttttt !

Obviously al queda and these 12,000 lost souls didn't get the election year democratic talking points or they would know that al queda is NOT in Iraq and they're only supposed to be in Afghanistan or Pakistan. They're simply not allowed to be in Iraq or that would mess up our reason for being there. How thoughtless can they be. Silly terrorists, making all those Dems and libs look foolish. What were they thinking!!!!!![8D]

One, thing, alqueda seems very pleased with the new Congress and Senate, and Rummy's absence. Can't blame them I guess. They will soon be able to declare victory over the US, and have an entire country to run wild in that later in life we will have to go back and deal with again instead of doing it now while we are over there.

Hey Cal,

I personally have never heard anyone say they are not in Iraq. Where'd you come up w/ that?

It is a fact they only came there b/c we invaded. Before, they were in Afghanistan where they are still PRIMARILY BASED out of. I would say it's our fault that they are in Iraq. Once we invaded-they flocked there b/c of our poor strategy.

BTW, last time I checked it wasn't the Dems who looked foolish at this point......

Even when the dems have us do a phased withdrawl, and we finally get out, the Al-Qaeda guys will still say they won. I really don't care if they have 12,000 guys there, because when we're gone, it won't matter how many people we have. The Iraqi morons will have to deal with them.
They'll have all the equipment neccessary do fightthe insurgentsoff, they got weapons, a military, and lots of people to enlist. And, they know the terrain. It'll all be up to the Iraqis if they're going to win or not.

I hate to interrupt the dem bashing but considering the US military only put the total number of insurgents at around 20,000 what do you all suppose the likelyhood of 12,000 of them being Al Quieda fighters actually is?Now this going to take a little reasoning and logic to come to a honest conclusion and seeings how the Republicans lost the election and a lot of you are bitter about it this may not come easily.Oh well, do the math, see what you come up with, either the republicans were lieing about thier numbers or Al quieadas exxagerating thiers greatly, pick one

Al Qaeda is like roaches, they are everywhere. We even have cells here in the good old U.S.A.

I don't think there's a problem with math so much as grammar. You see to think "insurgents" and "Al Quaeda" mean the same thing.
