To attack on the same date they've already attacked would be ludicrous. When they attack, they don't want you be be thinking about terrorism and what happened because then you're also thinking about ways to stop it. The more people think about ways to stop it, the more likely they are to act. The terrorists want as little resistance as possible, 9/11 would be the last day they attacked on.

The U.S can't occupy Iran, it does not have the power. Stop dreaming.

"The Iraq war has not only removed the major funder and supporter of terror, but has drawn the moths to the flame and we are killing them en masse. Our aggressive, proactive, and assertive efforts have removed the training facilities, financial support, and key leaders that guide oerations."

You don't realize that the Iraq war had done little to stop Muslim Terrorists. The terrorists wern't in Iraq large scale, its not doing much.
"Our success so far means only one thing. Keep the pressure on, don't stop, and continue the fight."

One more invasion and the U.S will be done.

A war in Iran would be relatively easy compared to Iraq. The majority of Iran's population supports America, it's the current ruling government that doesn't like us. With support from the people of the country, it would be easy to overpower the rulers. In Iraq, we had only a small percentage of the population's support, and that was out in the more rural areas that were easy to control. As we got into cities it became harder because of the urban fighting and because there was less support for us. In Iran, there is support for the United States all around the country. Also, with control of Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States could invade on two fronts, dividing the already small percentage of supporters of their current government.

4) Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere
Wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, some we don't even know about, have seriously weakened the ability of terrorists to attack us. Whether it's a Dean "we're no safer with Saddam captured" to Boxer's latest cookie-cutter drivel "we're creating more terrorists" to the leftist mantra that Iraq has made us less safe, facts prove them wrong. The Iraq war has not only removed the major funder and supporter of terror, but has drawn the moths to the flame and we are killing them en masse. Our aggressive, proactive, and assertive efforts have removed the training facilities, financial support, and key leaders that guide oerations.

Your material has no reference to what is factual. Al-Qaeda, as an organization has evolved, show me the facts proving otherwise.

Of course they are changing tactics.

Because they are being crushed by the United States military.

In Iraq, Afganistan, Africa, and places we don't even know about.

There is no disputing the fact that Iraq is a major fire that is attracting all the moths.

Yeah, they are changing their tactics, but so have we already.

We send in smaller forces now, using better intel, and we smoke the terrorists.

Time and time again.

With the same thought, wouldn't another attack on 9/11 be more profound? Wouldn't it strengthen the terrorists resolve? Wouldn't it show the weakness of the US in the eyes of its haters? The point of terrorists is to initiate terror. What better way is there to do this than to successfully attack again on one of the higher profile dates where it should be anticipated? I wouldn't put it past them to try.

Terrorism is almost always extreme by definition and surely in the view of any rational person.

I think another attack on 9-11 would be more trouble than its worth. AS it is that day has a negative stugmatism around it, and its safe to say that all security everywhere (atleast for the nest few years) will be extra stong on that date.

I think its highly unrealistic they would do it on 9-1 again.

But the impact and the message would be that much greater. I actually think it would be worth it to them to try. It just makes more sense to me from a tactical/political standpoint. I wouldn't put it past them at all.
