I never claimed that my statement was a fact. I'd explain it a little further if I thought you would actually understand it, but reading the last two pages, it's pretty obvious you don't want to understand anything that's not in the realm of viewpoint. It was a comment among many sentences used to make a bigger point. (Which you seem to have a hard time grasping) Do terrorists multiply like gremlins when they're wet? No they don't. That's not what I was saying or implying.
Don't get all frazzled up just because I rarely respond to your kindergarten like debating tactics..eace2:

Just give it up, he doesn't get it.Look at the numbers. Look at how insurgencies are growing. Look how once tame areas have flamed up. Take a look at the news and tell me that it hasn't. I'm not seeing anything indicating your viewpoint is correct. Seeing any decrease in the number of attacks? Seeing people surrendering in large droves?

So you're saying there was and has been and always will be a set amount of terrorists since we invaded Iraq? You are telling me that no one has signed up to fight their cause since we went into Iraq? That's very hard to believe.
So tell me exactly what is happening then? If they're not increasing and you now say they are not being decreased, what is left?
Umm....I merely asked you a question. I asked for what you think is happening. Can you not answer that without turning it back on me? I'm seeing Howard Dean tactics here.....no one can tell me what they believe. They attack someone for saying this created 2-3 more for every 1 killed and then cannot offer anything to prove otherwise or an opinion of their own view.
I am not attacking anyone, I asked where is the proof in the statement that we create 3 to 1? A person throws a statement like that out, they should be able to defend it. My offer is that I am asking for proof.
Again, look at the results and see all of these situations getting worse. Even the people who have before now said counter are now saying things are looking grim. These increased attacks and violence had to come from somewhere. If we've killed tens of thousands as has been alleged, the numbers are being replenished somehow. And last I checked cloning is not a known science in the Middle East.
. The person making the statement is the one responsible for defending it.

More recently, the Council on Global Terrorism, an independent research group of respected terrorism experts, assigned a grade of D+ to United States efforts over the past five years to combat Islamic extremism. The council concluded that there is every sign that radicalization in the Muslim world is spreading rather than shrinking.
OWB, I will say the NY Times is a step up from Crooks and Liars
