It’s All About 9/11
The president links Iraq and al Qaeda — and the usual suspects moan.

"President George W. Bush forcefully explained last night — some of us would say finally forcefully explained last night after too long a lull — why our military operations in Iraq are crucial to success in the war on terror.

It was good to hear the commander-in-chief remind people that this is still the war against terror. Specifically, against Islamo-fascists who slaughtered 3000 Americans on September 11, 2001. Who spent the eight years before those atrocities murdering and promising to murder Americans — as their leader put it in 1998, all Americans, including civilians, anywhere in the world where they could be found.

It is not the war for democratization. It is not the war for stability. Democratization and stability are not unimportant. They are among a host of developments that could help defeat the enemy.

But they are not the primary goal of this war, which is to destroy the network of Islamic militants who declared war against the United States when they bombed the World Trade Center on February 26, 1993, and finally jarred us into an appropriate response when they demolished that complex, struck the Pentagon, and killed 3000 of us on September 11, 2001.

That is why we are in Iraq."

Let the entire jihad terrorist world come to Iraq where our troops will send them to their final reward. It is a very cost effective way to deal with the terrorist threat. The casualty count would be much hire if we had to dig them out of all the nooks and crannies throughout the globe.

There are lots of ties that link al-Qaeda and Iraq. Plus terrorists who killed Americans were living in Iraq like it was some kind of retirement home for terrorists.

www.husseinandterror.com This site is one of the best I've seen, from the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. I don't know why the White House doesn't go into this more.
