I only know what I see and hear, and try to decipher between what's propaganda and what's not. If, in fact, we are fighting this war on terrorism effectively why have we backed off in so many corners of the world, (or do I just not hear about what's going on)? I would like to believe that we are still doing something about Abu-Saef in the Phillipines. Just one example, there are so many more, and I realize you gentlemen have gone over them. President Bush stated that we would fight this to every corner of the world and it just seems we as a country have eased up in so many areas! Afgahnistan seems to be building up again, according to popular political opinion, and why do we consider Pakistan an ally when the country is cleary infested with and sending these terrorists, in masses, over the border to fight us? Are we lacking manpower in the military so much that we can't afford to fight them the way we should, or is it all political bureaucracy that's preventing it? Again these are only a few examples, and I may be way off course, but it seems we let these countries dictate to us if we stay or go, and how we cannot fight this the way we should! Credit, and God Bless you all who read this and have been fighting against these terrorists for so long. I don't want to get slammed, so if i'm way off course just let me know, (as I know you will). I really just want some type of understanding as to why it at least looks as if we let them push us around, (in most cases). Should we not finally have a "no-tolerance" policy with these KILLERS!!! This is why i'm joining again at 35 yrs. old, and I would like the confidence that in SF our Gov. will allow us to fight this war effectively and where and how we should. Please help me understand, not the terrorist mentality but possibly the American Government's also. Thank you all! BB
