9/11 Commission Report Rebuffs Kosar
KOSAR said in this post
Kosar seems to think we are on a 60 year cycle on major attacks on US soil and don?t worry about the current Al Qaeda threat. :banghead:
:142lmao:
This is from the press conference of the 9/11 Commission Report. July 22, 2004
?Every expert with whom we spoke told us that an attack of even greater magnitude is now possible--and even probable. We do not have the luxury of time. We must prepare and we must act.
The al Qaeda network and its affiliates are sophisticated, patient, disciplined, and
lethal. Usama Bin Ladin built an infrastructure and organization that was able to attract, train and use recruits against ever more ambitious targets. He rallied new zealots with each demonstration of al Qaeda?s capability. His message and hate-filled ideology have instructed and inspired untold recruits and imitators. He and al Qaeda: despise America and its policies; exploit political grievances and hopelessness within the Arab and Islamic world; indoctrinate the disaffected and pervert one of the world?s great religions; and seek creative methods to kill Americans in limitless numbers, including the use of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. Put simply, the United States is presented with one of the great security challenges in our history. We have struck blows against the terrorists since 9/11. We have prevented attacks on the homeland. We believe we are safer today than we were on 9/11 ? but we are not safe.
Because al Qaeda represents an ideology ? not a finite group of people ? we should not expect the danger to recede for years to come. No matter whom we kill or capture ? including Usama Bin Ladin ? there will still be those who plot against us. Bin Ladin has inspired affiliates and imitators. The societies they prey on are vulnerable; the terrorist ideology is potent; and the means for inflicting harm are readily available. We cannot let our guard down.
Recommendations ? A Global Strategy
This Commission does not have all the answers. But we have thought about what to do ? a global strategy ? and how to do it ? a different way of organizing our government. But, based on our thorough review of the government?s performance, and our examination of the enemy, we recommend the following elements for a counter terrorism strategy.
This strategy must be balanced. It must integrate all the elements of national power: diplomacy, intelligence, covert action, law-enforcement, economic policy, foreign aid, homeland defense, and military strength. There is no silver bullet or decisive blow that can defeat Islamist terrorism. It will take unity of effort and sustained and effective use of every tool at our disposal:
We need to play offense: kill or capture terrorists; deny them sanctuaries; and disrupt their ability to move money and people around the globe.?
Do you believe Kosar or do you believe the bi-partisan 9/11 commission?
