All is fair in love and war. This ain't the first time Kola..wake up. To paraphrase your candidate "go where you need to go to get the bad guys".

A U.S. strike on a network of foreign fighters in Syria killed its main target — an Al Qaeda coordinator who was wanted for sending foreign fighters, weapons and cash into Iraq, a U.S. official told FOX News.

Killed in Sunday's attack by Special Operations Forces was Abu Ghadiyain, Al Qaeda's senior coordinator operating in Syria who was closely associated with the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq.

The assault, which took place about 4-5 miles inside Syria, came just days after the commander of U.S. forces in western Iraq said American troops were redoubling efforts to secure the border, which he called an "uncontrolled" gateway for fighters entering Iraq.

Ninety percent of foreign fighters enter Iraq through Syria, according to U.S. intelligence estimates, bringing cash to Al Qaeda in Iraq's chief. They also are deadly — trained in bomb-making and willing to sacrifice themselves in suicide attacks.

A senior U.S. military intelligence official said that in July only about 20 foreign fighters were entering the country each month, down 50 percent from six months earlier, and just a fifth of the estimated 100 foreign fighters who were infiltrating Iraq a year ago.

Good for them! Guess it is no different than Obama saying he would go into Pakistan! Hypocritical Liberals!

And all those liberals who were going to leave the U.S. 4 years ago over Dubya are still here.

Can't Dubya run again in 2012? If Obama is elected, he'd probably win hands down.

Actually I believe the President has the power to suspend the election completely and also had this power in 2004....whenever the country is at war.

i'm not sure the chinese can lend you enough money to be in a third war.

don...question....(serious question). Does Canada issue government backed securities such as treasury bills and bonds?? That's all China holds are US Securities. They are not callable except at maturity which is usuallyt 30 years from the date of issuance. Now they can trade them on the open market but what do you suppose they would get for them right now?? A dime on the dollar?? Wow that hurts...not us but them....The last thing China wants is for the US economy to fail. They'll be holding a couple trillion in absolutely worthless bonds .....No different than what the US will be holding with this mortgage crisis. AND they'll be trying to make demand on a country with quite afew thousand nukes aimed at them. Might be a good time to 'call it even'.

three wars - iraq, afghanistan, syria. sure we have govt. backed securities; my point was that the deficit will only get larger so you're borrowing money to fight with syria. is it worth it to take on more debt? i doubt that the usa wants it's paper to depreciate because then you would have a currency crisis. i guess you think personal bankruptcy is a good option, too.

All Liberals are obsessed with attacking Pakistan (which BTW has nukes). They don't see any problem with attacking a country through which you have to bring all of your supplies to sustain that same attacking force! Its a new concept in warfare dreamed up by Barak 'blood n guts' Obama who will soon stand with Alexander, and Napoleon as one of the top three military geniuses of all time.

Obama didn't say a thing that I heard about attacking Pakistan. But what he did say was that he would give our military the authority to attack Al Qaeda when they attack us and then run back across the Afghan/Pakistan border to a supposedly safe haven. I'm with him on this, you kill our soldiers there isn't going to be a safe haven a short distance away. Especially in the mountains along the border between the two countries.

Isn't that exactly what the military did with the raid into Syria....by the way, they did get their man.

It seems to me that's what they did and I have no criticisms for this action on the part of our military.
