[quote="Sgt Stryker":91179][quote="Tool-back":91179]Uhh Ninty9 the "War on Terror" wasn't just the war with Al Queda and Taliban. When Bush gave his speech on the war on terror, he made it very obvious that it would include nations that harbored terrorists.[/quote:91179]

why aren't we going after the guerillas in the Phillippines and South America? They kidnap US citizens and demand ransom, extortion is a type of terrorism.

What about Aryan Nations and the KKK? Domestic terrorists are just as much a threat, maybe even more so because they live here.[/quote:91179]

because of the clinton era military cutbacks and downsizing that we're paying for right now with 87 billion dollars in increased military spending, our active duty military isnt nearly as large as it once was...most of our military numbers come from reserves and national gaurd units now, we would need something like a draft to fight the war on terrorism effectivly on multiple fronts, thats why we have to do it one country at a time for now.
