GB> GB>> How can you really know what the terrorists prefer? And of so,
GB> GB>> why would they vocalize it?

GB> JB> Two simple questions.

GB> JB> 1.  Do the terrorists want us to leave Iraq ?
GB> JB> 2.  Which party has the most members publicly talking about a
GB> JB> hasty withdraw ?

GB>I don't think the terrorists want us to leave Iraq. But if we do they
GB>will claim victory. The same way Saddam did after the Gulf War.

That doesn't make any sense.  If they don't want us to leave then why 
are they fighting us ?

GB>Ready made and available US targets, not to mention a huge recruiting
GB>situation makes our stay there a welcome one to the hierarchy of
GB>terror outfits.

That makes no sense.  They don't need us there to stir up hatred of the 
US.  Aside from bragging to a buddy, what value is killing a US soldier 
in Iraq to a terrorist ?  Terrorists, most of all, want major publicity.  
Attacking a  major US asset will give them that visibility.  Killing a 
few US soldiers won't.

GB>I think the Bath remnants want is to leave. I think the religious
GB>factions want us to leave and I think a growing number of Iraqis want
GB>us to leave.

GB>Bin Laden wanted us out of the Holy Lands. We are now, but he is
GB>still after us.

The last time I checked, Bin Laden was still considered to be the leader 
of Al Qaeda.


GB>They want us now out of the Middle East completely and that will not
GB>even be enough if we did leave.

GB>Its gone beyond all that now.

If they never wanted us dead, they wouldn't have attacked us in the 
first place.  You're joining the crowd that makes this all the fault of 
the US.  Sad to see.  

I look at it as simply as I would rather kill a terrorist in Baghdad 
than in downtown New York.
