Chris Vancil says: "The problem with your analyze is; as we capture and kill terrorists they continue recruiting and the war in Iraq is a great recruitment tool for terrorists. They have cells here (USA) and in other countries."

Iraq is a great "recruitment tool" for people who will fight the terrorists- even the "insurgents" apparently don't want to be associated with the terrorists. These guys are not making any friends by attacking Iraqis.

Iraq is no longer an occupied country and will have a elected government in Jan. Meanwhile Lebanon still is controlled by Syria- do you think the people in Lebanon like being controlled by Syria?

By changing the regime in Iraq, we longer needed to protect Saudi Arabia with troops. Therefore we remove a recruitment tool for the terrorists, and Saudi Arabia is safer from external as well as internal threats- as result of this increased security Saudi Arabia is capable of doing reforms- such as local elections.

Another great recruitment tool for the terrorist was having a country where the recruit could travel to and meet with others and train in warfare. This recruitment tool is gone.

It's really saying a lot that this guy who is apparently Bin Laden had to use some incident back in 1982 as a reason for 911. Maybe if he talks again maybe he will talk about something that happenned in the 17th Century.

Chris Vancil says: "I think bin Laden is no longer the head of this terrorist coalition and it won't matter if we capture him or not. They would just pick another spokesman."

I agree bin laden is pretty irrelevant hiding in some isolated mountains. All it really shows that he is a coward. Whether bin Laden dead or doing nothing, it matters little.
