trader, they arent just in iraq they have cells all over the world.... besides that, iraq wasnt a haven for al qaida. the majority of fighters there are tribal residents, sunni vs. shia.... and they hate our presence. we are seen as occupiers... you know that...how many people do you think it takes to plan an event...you dont send an army in to break up a gang. thats like bombing the whole city of chicago to get al capone...its police work...

You betcha. How can we forget the total obliteration of the Al Queda AirForce at the Kalastani Air Base: Over 300 Al Fredo
attack fighters destroyed, 125 Sis Boombah heavy bombers pulversized in the hangers, and 47 Minaret ICBMs wasted in their silos. All without a single USAF casualty (sorry Army for spillover on some of your guys but remember we fly "up up uppers away", so you gotta expect some "collateral damage".
