WASHINGTON, DC: A published report says the Bush administration has initiated a top-level internal review of its anti-terrorism policy, with the aim of moving away from hunting al-Qaida leadership and towards a broader strategy of dealing with violent extremism.

A published report says the Bush administration has initiated a top-level internal review of its anti-terrorism policy, with the aim of moving away from hunting al-Qaida leadership and towards a broader strategy of dealing with violent extremism.
The Washington Post in its Sunday edition says the new strategy has evolved as al-Qaida has become increasingly decentralized since the attacks of September 11, 2001.

White House officials tell the newspaper a new anti-terrorism model must emerge to cope with the rapid global spread of pro-al-Qaida Islamic jihadists.
Officials say hitting al-Qaida in Afghanistan after the 2001 attacks was a logical tactical maneuver. But they say the new leadership among terror groups is difficult to target as they adapt and blend into multiple societies.

I don't think it's really a policy or strategy shift. We've said from the beginning that we will fight all terrorists and those who harbor them, no matter where they are.
Iran clearly supports and exports terrorism. They are clearly seeking weapons of mass destruction, and are already likely in posession of chemical and biological weapons. They oppress their people and clamp down on free speech. They cause violence and instability in neighboring Iraq. If there ever was a regime worthy of invasion, it'd be Iran for sure.

But, of course, all you "peaceful" left-wing radicals LOVE Iran for their constant hate speech against the US and Israel. How I wish I could buy all of you some one-way tickets to Iran so you can enjoy the great benefits of living under the Ayatollahs. Better yet, maybe you'd prefer to go to North Korea where the majority of international food aid is given to their million+ troops! You'll love the three television and radio stations that are pre-programmed into all the TV's and radios sold in the country. You and your kids can sing jolly songs about your great leader Kim Jong Il!!! If you get hungry, just follow the crowds heading to the local cemetary to dig up their dinner.

Well put and to the point, I think these Tulipwalkers actually love to 'speak' ill of their own nations, eaten up with conspiracy theories and such. To them the freedom that we have here is great to speak out against, especially on a day in which we honor those who died to give them that right. I would gladly donate to help buy plane tickets on the condition they are one way only.

Demise?
You aren't French are you?
Sheep, yeah I am a sheep but not in that manner, I have a different Shepard.
It is the Tulipwalking mentality that has caused the directional turn in this country.
It changed directions the last time the Tulipwalkers were in charge, it took a man like Reagan to do it though.

Cool! I bet you will have a grand time also. They are very friendly people and you should have a good time. Just be wary of the subjects you talk about or ask, especially if you are Western.
The Iranians I know, I like a lot and they do not like the Mullahs one bit.
Must not be many Al Quieda left?
