So that's my big question. How has Bush done a good job in fighting terror between Sept. 11th, and now??

3/4 of the known Al Qaeda leadership has been killed of captured. Their finances have been severely disrupted. A dictator who harbored terrorists (Abu Nidal, Zarqauwi) and who funded Hamas suicide bombers in Israel has been put in check.
None of this has made a difference in your eyes? [/b][/quote]
Its a great start Dis, but how do you stem the flow of new recruits? Wasn't going into Iraq and p*ssing off the Arab world a massive mistake? All the US has done is accelerate the recruiting efforts and force more and more young Arabs into al Qaeda IMO. The large scale invasion of a contained threat (and that's a real strong word) is a bad strategy. I think the US should go to smaller, more reactive, special forces units who are hunter/killers. They would be much easier to move and less conspicuous. I think that if you cut off the head, the body will die, so these units should be assigned to track and capture or kill targets. I think that would be most effective and cause the least amount of trouble around the globe.
