So now your opinion constitutes proof? What expertise do you have in this area where your opinion trumps everyone elses? I don't have much of an opinion because i simply dont know what is really going on nor do I know if 7 terrorists captured is a handful or a lot but it seems that your opinion isnt backed by anyone else who may be an expert or at least have strong convictions in the area.

fyi the kid thats going i know just got out of basic..not exactly crack troops

The Clintons pursued everything they could as far as they could, including the first to release the Rev. Wright stuff (I thought if I'm remembering right), Ayers, and birth certificate nonsense.

No, my opinion doesn't constitute "proof", it constitutes my opinion, and seven dead or arrested terrorists, including two important AQ internationals, stands directly and obviously in contrast to the "he doesn't act on terrorism, he's a *****" type of thought.

How many terrorists dead would prove to you that Obama is seriously and aggressively pursing terrorism across the globe?

(you took your white flag back, I see ;)

sure they did. why wouldn't they? i always find the primary season to be hilarious-with each candidate thumping the other-and then they all make nice when one gets the nomination. hilarious.

My absolutely favorite commentary on the Presidential primary and the candidates by JibJab:

so your talking out your azz.....No, my opinion doesn't constitute "proof", it constitutes my opinion

So now you are telling us what we think? Show me where i criticized Obama on Terror in this thread? You still havent provided any real backing for your statement.

Four more years!!
:D

I said Obama has gotten more AQ terrorists in the past year than Bush did his last five. And I listed them.

You guys got anything specific about what Bush's AQ terrorist kill-arrest count in Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc. for his past five years in office are, bring it out.

In a landslide :D

You make the statement that "Obama got more terrorists in the last year than Bush got in the last 5" yet dont have the number for Bush's years?



You seriously think over the last 5 years there werent more than 7 Al Queda terrorists captured or killed? I mean really?

Nevertheless, since our last summary, there are 53 leaders in the al-Qaeda Iraq terrorist network that have been captured or killed.

That was a one month period in March-April last year

Can't find evidence of many. You were the one that said it was beyond obvious. So ... ?

Where are you looking? it took all of 2 minutes to find 53 captured/killed in one month last year. Here is another top guy caught in Afganistan

Here is his predecessor, caught in 06

Thank you! Now, that wasn't hard, was it? Yes, I bow to those numbers.

It is for Iraq, however. Can you find anything regarding Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, etc - where most of AQ defected to? (Edit, saw your other posts).

I searched on AQ capture killed US and the years!

From a May 08 story. Refutes what you were saying about Bush not pursuing in other countries.
