Hmm well that still doesn't say anything about what Al Qaeda has ever done to americans on american soil.

The invasion to Iraq and afghanistan was illegal, therefore the whole war is illegal.
And obviously later the UN allowed the troops to stay. American forces destabilize a country, ruin their infrastructure, murder countless civilians destroy their economy and then just walk away and let the groups who were fighting for power but were on a leash thanks to Saddam create more chaos?
I'm still wondering why the american public doesn't send their congress representatives and the whole white house into iraq to fight for this "operation" until it's over.

Che guevara wasn't from the local populace when he was killed in bolivia. But he was still an insurgent. So fix your definition of insurgent please.
Good and evil are two sides of the same coin.
Minorly off topic, if you ever want to say that an insurgent is in any way "better" or "worse" than a terrorist then you are the role model of the countless brainless drones who are enlisted in a certain terrorist force occupying a souvereign country.

Because the money went from the pockets of the taxpayers into the pockets of the bankers and the owners of certain major companies i.e. armaments/oil industry.
you really think they give a crap about american economy/people or about anything that they can live without?

I stated the accepted Military Definition ok that applies to the current Theatre of Operations. Al Qaeda planned and conducted the 9/11 attacks bin Laden took credit for them. I never said insurgents were good bad or otherwise it all depends on what they do.
The economy going downhill is a direct result of people having less money to spend hmmm corporations lose money when that happens its a very basic concept.
The war in Afghanistan was never illegal and neither was the war in Iraq. Technically the wars were circumvented around Congress by declaring them as joint military operations but it was still approved by Congress after the time limit.
We kill innocent civilians over there all of the time? I was totally unaware of this I must not have been paying attention in the "Kill all" class that we had hmmm I will ask my NCOIC if he had standing orders to kill the local populace when he was deployed. Is that something you would like to know?
If we were killing innocent civilians on a regular basis do you honestly think that Iraq would be more and more stable every year as the amount of support for Terrorist and Insurgent groups declines on a daily basis?
Last time I checked I saw that Iraqi forces are actually taking over control of more and more of the country and the CF (Coalition Forces) are taking a back seat and allowing them to run the Military Ops with CF as backup and advisors.
No I do not subscribe to Bill O'Reilly mentality, do I watch him occasionally if something is on that catches my eye but generally no. I watch both Fox and CNN in order to gain a "balanced" view of the news sometimes I just read other sources.
Any other questions?
