Because the country in question currently controls nukes, and the leadership in that country is currently preventing the radicals from aquiring them (by a thread)...

If you want to upset that applecart, you might as well sign an American city's death warrant...

That's why...

Exactly my point. Why do you think OBL went there. And you don't find it reasonable that after all the rhetoric about Dead or Alive. And were gonna hunt em down etc etc. That when the POTUS actually faced the situation that there was no place else to go. They needed a diversion. And how do you think 70% of the American people came to believe Saddam was involved in 9-11. You think that was by accident. Your smarter then that man.

Because they are a "valueless target". If we know where they are we get more by being able to track what they are doing.

This is a great tie-in to the media consolidation thread.

When you hear a media executive say "The news is whatever we say it is," you can do two things:

1. Believe whatever they tell you, because they ARE the news, right?
2. Listen, then think critically, do research, and draw your own conclusions.

Guess which one 70% of Americans (and probably more) are more likely to do?

There is a nail in pain with a bump on it's head.
