This from the guy who thinks we went to Iraq to fight

terrorists?

Informed people understand we're fighting terrorists in Iraq.

I will concede that we may actually be fighting a few terrorists in

Iraq

now, but they are likely foreign "true believers" who have gravitated to

Iraq

because our guys are there (and have perhaps by now managed some local
recruiting). There was very little documented international terrorism
activity
in Iraq before we invaded, certainly less than in certain other Arab
countries.
Don't forget; Iraq was a comparatively secular society. We have now

thrown

open
the gates for the religious crazies to come in to Iraq and do their work.

I still haven't figured out what Iraq is all about, but it wasn't

9-11

and
it has little or nothing to do with terrorism. Perhaps it was supposed

to

have
something to do with assuring Bush's second term (thus "mission
accomplished"),
but today it seems more likely to have the opposite effect.

Lrt's review the bidding. All the 9/11 terrorists were Saudis. So we

invaded

Iraq. Makes sense to me. (sheesh)

Then why were you one of the louder "Yeah, let's do it!" and "Screw the
French for not supporting us" types a year ago?

Who knew we were being lied to about WMD? We never should have believed that
bum and his neocon liars..

It's not clear to me that they were lying, though they are certainly
capable of it. Iraq is a classic case of what Barbara Tuchman
characterized as "woodenheadedness."
