If we totally win in Iraq... and Osama is still alive... is the war on terror over?

Dont believe everything you read or hear. The war in Iraq is not \nabout terror. It was about replacing Saddam Hussains Gov.,\nwhich has been done. Terrorism will never cease, because folks \ndont want us telling their countries how to live their lives, no more \nthan we want them telling us. Time for us to come home.

The true terrorists are our very own government.  Iraq had nothing to do with this war, if anyone would take the time to think about it.

I've been to ground zero.  It happened.  Whether Osama, Israel, or the US was  responsible ---is all guesswork at this point.   The US has defiantly staged events like this in the past to justify a war---The sinking of the Maine, Gulf of Tonkin, etc...  But 9/11?   We saw Osama admit it in the videos.  I wouldn't want to think that our country is so evil we could ever do this, although in my heart I know there is a chance we could have.

Iraq, not to be confused with the War on Terror

I agree with deedlebay, w.o.m.d. were just a cloak to get into Iraq. Hello people I thought we were going into war to defend our country because of 9/11. We have people from America and other countries dying everyday and we still haven't got Bin Laden?!? \nNot only that but Saddam is on trial for events that happened in the 1980's not for the innocent lives that were lost on Sept.11th. Where is their justice?

I am not a flaming liberal...but "war on terror" ? That was some slogan that Bush and his little minions thought up. Yes there is terrorism. Yes, we need to fight against it. But if you are referring to the war on terror in Iraq...we have no business there. Somehow we ended up there...9/11 having nothing to do with Iraq. Now...we can never leave. Bush says we will pull out...but how can we. If we do...they will say "look how the Americans came into Iraq...messed everything up....and then left" Democracy will never work there. Democracy means different things to different people. Democracy can never work in a tribal mentality. We should be focusing on Afghanistan. And Iran. But we are wasting our time in Iraq...the center of Bush's so called "War on Terror" I am willing to fight against terror. But to fight against those who are actually causing the terror.

and while this war is going on, there has not been another attack on US soil.  We are making some serious headway in the global war against radical Islam. Money well spent to me.\n\nHere are the facts.\n\nWe invaded Iraq in March of 2003, can you tell me of a terror attack that has happened on US soil since then?

Listen up. There "is" no losing or winning. It's impossible to win a war against terrorism. It "is" possible to prevent people from doing terrorist acts, but it's impossible to stop them trying.\n\nSo i would have to say we'll never win, nor lose.\n\n(For everyone who jumps on me because i said it was a war on terrorism and not oil, you need to get your facts straight. The war began in afganistan. We drove Osama out, making him hide in a dark hole in Pakistan. They attacked Saddam to make sure he didn't have anymore weapons of mass destruction left over from the times of the Kurds that he could sell to Osama.)

Just for the sake of discussion, considering their current age, I will say Osama can last longer and probably win by technicalities. This dude have seen hell, war and has been on the run.\n\nPat could be easily tired out, as this man have been living comfortably for years, do you think he has the stamina go into boxing match?

I really don't think the war on terrorism will ever be over, just read what's going on behind the scenes. Democrats will never help us either and that is so frighting, we need all the help we can get.  http://www.anti-cair-net.org/http://www.cair-net.org/http://www.danielpipes.org/article/394

This is a difficult answer because we can not win but that does not mean terriost organization are winning either.\n\nIt is like the war on drugs. Can we win that war either?\n\nYou can not win the war on terror.  Terrorism is a tactic, it exsist in many many forms. The US uses terror, we call it Shock and Awe, but terror non the less. Unlike wars by states and governments, who would sign a peace treaty, or agree to surrender. Terrorism is a tactic not a country which is why we conquered Afghanistan but only to attack the Tali ban.\n\n\nHowever.\nWhat i think your asking is if we can effectively destroy and root out major organized terror groups. the answer to that is yes, but not under the Bush administraiton. \nIt requires not only reliable intellegence, but massive nation building, and diplomacy.\n\nIf we had turned Afghanistan into a prosperous nation, rebuilit, gave people emoployment, education, liberities within their culture, it would be the envey of its neighbors, it would be true american democracies calling card. \n\nInstead we created a Islamist Extremeist Training ground and a Iraqui civil war for power.

I can't believe with all our technology that we STILL haven't found him and killed him.  I personally think that Bush gave up on looking for him, so that he can continue to send recorded messages...which will allow Bush to say, "see...we have to fight terror.  We have to stay in Iraq."

That sounds about right. You all know we are still in Afganistan right? We are also still in Kosovo. Did you know that? I don't hear any news from that any more. Except through our military chanells.\nIt takes time to do it right, train their soldiers and police. We have built power plants and water facilities. These facilities were not bombed by us. We made darn sure we kept the infrastructure intact. We gave back what Saddam took away with his 30+ palaces and grand life style for his people the Sunnis (who aren't too happy they don't have a friend running the country anymore). I'm not talking about all the Sunnis though.\nThe big thing is we have to make sure the Government of Iraq has a good enough security force to make Iraq safe and secure. Then we'll leave.\nThe war WITH Iraq was over in spring of 2003. We are fighting insurgants and terrorists now.

Osama is there or not only God Knows.But there are many Osamas Fighting for injustice,fighting for freedom fighting for peace in the Afghanistan.The media is controlled by US.So they show everything in one or other way favouring USA.So we cannot see the ground reality.Usama alone cannot do anything.

It is obvious the United States is winning, but the problem is that doesn't suit the leftist (Democrats) in this country.  They want to scare the American public into thinking we are losing and bring up ever road side bomb as evidence.  \n\nWhen was the last time you heard of a terrorist training camp?  Yeah they don't have those any more.  \n\nWhen was the last time the "insurgents" occupied any territory.  The answe is Falluja last year and they held it for less then 2 weeks when we went in and took it back.  \n\nWhen was the last time they hit America?  9/11 and none since then.  \n\nYes we are winning.  It just doesn't fit into the political scheme of the media or the left to say so.

The reaction is just as many of us predicted. Al-Queda in Iraq is now claiming they are winning the war because of the democrat victory. Iran will now step up it's own rhetoric. People we are in for a bumpy ride. Are the democrats up for this challenge? Think of Murtha, Kerry, Clinton and Kennedy.....do they inspire trust with you in the realm of National Security?
