But I gotta say, this whole business regarding GWB's Air Guard records
misses the whole point with regards to him vs. Kerry. Dubya gets my
vote in November because unlike Kerry, Dubya plans on finishing what
the cowardly terrorists started on 9/11. And if that means cleaning up
the cesspool that is the entire Middle East region. then so be it.


Invading Afghanistan, the nation that harbored more Al Queda members
incljuding bin Laden, than any other was a good start.

Invading Iraq, the nation that harbored fewer than any other Arab
nation, perhaps NONE, had nothing to do with the attacks of Sept 11,
2001. Indeed, the evidence is that those attacks delayed the war
with Iraq by a year.

There were a lot of good reasons to invade Iraq but the attacks of
Sept 11, 2001 were not among them. The resources we have tied
down in the occupation of Iraq are not available to hunt down Al
Queda.

If, as you say, "Dubya plans on finishing what the cowardly
terrorists started on 9/11." he'd better get back to it soon
because he may have less than a year left to get the job done,
and it's a job he put on hold for over a year ago.

Hmm

At least 2 terrorist groups were based in Iraq and had active
support from the Iraqi government

Abu Nidal ran one and the other was Ansar Al Islam believed
to be associated with Al Qaeda

It may be that these groups didnt have an active part in the
events of Sept 11 but they certainly qualify as terrorist groups.
