30. December 2009, 01:43:49 Subject: Yemen terrorists  I heard on the news tonight, that the leaders/organizers of Al Queida groups in Yemen are some Guantanamo Bay terrorists who were released to Saudi Arabia and "rehabilitated" and are now back to the same thing. Let's keep releasing these people!! Yeah! Makes a lot of sense. 30. December 2009, 13:09:42 Subject: Re: Yemen terrorists rod03801: I heard on the news and read via several on-line newspapers that the Yemen authorities have been after help in dealing with possible terrorist cells, but such calls for help have been ignored. Yemen's Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi has said that the country is not getting sufficient help from the West to tackle al-Qaeda. They have their own troubles dealing with warring factions and need support from the USA, UK and EU. That of those who are possibly active in Yemen, two were from the bay, yet an estimated 200-300 terrorists are active in the country. No mention they were leaders, just active members of the group. 30. December 2009, 16:36:24 Subject: Re: Yemen terrorists (V): Only 2???? Thats 2 too many 30. December 2009, 17:00:23 Subject: Re: Yemen terrorists Czuch: If that is so true... why the waste of money and resources on Iraq that could have gone on fighting and destroying the terrorist network worldwide?? The billions spent on a war that was not necessary and now the real war on terrorism is suffering. Saddam was not a terrorist or had any links to Al-Qaeda. 30. December 2009, 17:28:00 Subject: Re: Yemen terrorists (V): so what? Two different fights, Saddam caused us more of a distraction alive than taking him down ever did. And the point is, that once you have them captured, letting them go makes zero sense. 30. December 2009, 21:14:11 Subject: Re: Yemen terrorists Czuch: The only distraction I can see Saddam causing is if Iran invaded, the rest.. Well, embarrassment over him being an ex lackey of the USA and Tony Blair hating him. How many people died since he was basically fenced in v his regime being taken down, and how much in resources have been diverted from eradicating Al-Qaeda? As to two different fights... he wasn't one, he was an easy victory and pointless one... and from history we have many examples of the problems of fighting on two different fronts. As to them being let go... I at the moment do not understand what happened. They were in nick, and somehow they were released. I don't see the US authorities being unaware of this. I guess more info will come out over the next week, etc. 31. December 2009, 05:12:05 Subject: Re: Yemen terrorists (V): What amount of endless resources were used to "fence" Saddam in? I still believe that taking him out was worth the cost, and that the cost to fence him in would have ended up greater in the long run  30.

December 2009, 06:24:17 Subject: Re: Yemen terrorists Artful Dodger: Yes, and "terrorism" is too inflammatory. The term is now "man-caused disaster". |
