    New Updates to WhisperingDeath's al-Qaida Battlefield History

    The recent Al Qaida bombing in Spain might go down as the most successful terrorist attack in history. That attack has now moved us from the winning to the losing column in the war.

    Al Qaida, in its first major successful operation in two and a half years struck one of the USA?s strongest allies, Spain. Due to the impossibly well-timed bombing right before elections, Al Qaida stirred democracy to fail by having shocked and scared people vote in an entire political party that would remove its troops from the Muslim world.

    Bin Laddin's goal is to remove all western troops from the middle-eastern Muslim holly lands.

    KK EDIT: We have several threads for this subject already. Try them.

    Somalia (1993)- Al Qaida saw the US forces in Somalia not as protectors of food shipments but as the first wave of an attacking army. After killing nine USA special forces soldiers in a running battle in Mogadishu, the USA withdrew its forces.
    Al Qaida - 1 point.

    Afghanistan I (1996)- Bin Laddin is forced out of Sudan through intense world pressure, initially this is seen as a victory. Bin Laddin settles down in Afghanistan, proclaims war on the US, creates a vast army of soldiers, money and Taliban law in the lawless country.
