I'm still waiting for someone to explain how Iraq is connected to either the
9-11 attacks or the Madrid bombings...



The same way that Normandy was connected to the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

In WW2, we fought the fascist axis. We did not choose to land our forces in
Europe at Berlin, tactics and strategy determined where our attack would be
launched.

Now, we are fighting Islamofascism and again, strategy and tactics determine
where we will attack them. Look at a map. Anywhere other than Iraq that we
might have chosen as a starting point would have left us fighting a unified
Moslem world, probably under the leadership of Saddam. But by taking Saddam out
first, the possiblilty of unification is eliminated and we can now address the
problem areas in Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia individually and in whatever way
is appropriate.

Hopefully, it has become apparent to them that their situation, with Iraq and
Afghanistan occupied, is militarily untenable, and they will see the light and
eject the Islamofascist elements within their countries without further miltary
action on our part.

Even as far away as Lybia, Kadahfi has seen the error of his ways and decided
that having nukes to share with terrorists is not so good an idea as he
thought. If Iran makes the same choice, great, the days of the mullahs there
are numbered anyway as their young population transforms the country.

But one way or another, Bush intends to be done with Islamofascist terrorism
and is on track to get it done. He, or his staff, is a LOT smarter than his
critics would like to believe. Being underestimated by his opponents has been
part of his political strategery for a long time.
