    Now is there something morally wrong with the OP? Or, has the cat got your tongue and you really do not know how to respond to an OP?

    Would you enlighten us? What do you know about the OP? Does the press have a real reason to believe that al-qaeda is still a threat?

    First of all Al Qaeda may not even be what they (the press) are telling us...a massive global terrorist organization coordinated by a few individuals at the top. It could be that any group (and there may be hundreds or thousands of them?) that wants attention and free airtime claim to be with Al Qaeda because they know our press can be used as an echo chamber to get their message out to a mass audience for free.

    What did Al Qaeda start out as? A group of Arab "freedom fighters" supported by our own government in Afghanistan and also in Kosovo. In other words "Al Qaeda" was our dog that turned on us for what ever reason. How is the press covering that? Very little if any. Why?

    Seems to me that Al Qaeda went from being a small group of foreign fighters hiding out in caves (there were no huge underground complexes like the neocons lead us to believe just as they lead us to believe that Saddam had huge underground complexes...notice we haven't heard about them at all after he was captured in his tiny "spider hole" either) to a world wide terror organization almost overnight that can strike anywhere anytime with any number of wmds , and the only way we can combat this huge global threat is to give governments around the whole world what they crave most...more power, more funding and more control.

    It could also be that the press as well as the governments around the world are using this so called "global threat" in the same manner described by Herman Goering.
    "denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." Sound familiar? It should, it's the neocons most used line of propaganda for the last five years.

    Well, I am proud that you had the courage to defend poor, weak, victimized (by what did you call them? - neocons?) Al Qaeda.

    Someone needs to defend those poor helpless, defenseless, peaceful terrorists.

    It is comforting to know that they are not the threat that the news media says they are . . .

    Interesting cartoon. As Goebbels said, the most effective propaganda is the biggest lie.

    I do notice that Bush and Co. is closing in on all those guys for causing the deaths of Americans.

    The war that was supposed to be just a few weeks drags on, and deaths continue, with nothing whatever to show for them.

    The actual war, nation vs nation, was only weeks long before the national army fell. It was only months before Hussein was captured.

    Unfortunately, the Bush administration had no real plans on running the government or maintaining civil order but their plan for securing the oil fields and new multidecade, ironclad leases was quickly put in place once Bremer replaced Garner. The Bush administration decided on a 'no Baathist' policy which meant that everyone who knew how to run things were out of a job. The former military and policemen were then unemployed with no prospect of future employment yet heavily armed - a recipe for disaster, or at least insurgency & civil war.

    Would someone enlighten men?

    Why are the liberals so afraid of the OP?

    Misdirection, doublespeak, and inuendo have not dealt with the question of the OP.

    The closest the double speakers have come to the OP was to defend the defensless al qaeda . . .

    What is going on?

    We have people claiming to be Christian that call an anti-christ, Christian. We have people blaming the murder of 4 - 12 million jews and Christians on Christianity.

    We have people blaming the unrest in Iraq on things that have little to do with the problem.

    There are 5 main problems in Iraq.

    1. Saddam released all of his criminals to re-start a criminal network.
    2. Foreign insurgents came and stirred up death and hate.
    3. Muslims work out democracy very slowly compared to the West.
    4. The administration, the congress, and the people of the USA did not understand the gravity of what would happen with regime change in a backward totalitarian state like Iraq.
    5. You still have muslims killing each other . . . for fun and profit.

    You forgot the most important point. The multinational corporations and bankers now control Iraq's public assets. Of course Bremmer had to break international law to make that happen, but why not it's not like anybody will question it, at least not here in the US, no biggie. Just like nobody is questioning where 3 trillion dollars went that disapeared from the Pentagon.

    Where's you're liberal press now and why aren't they asking these questions?
