Yup, shoulda left them alone. They were happy after 9/11, and would have just took up buying bigscreens and drinking umbrella drinks like all the sane non-terrorists.

Killing them in Afghanistan was another Boosh blunder. It just made the few that lived even bent on more terror for no sane reason.

Noone ever argued against Afghanistan. Iraq was the boosh blunder.

Do you believe that by attacking Iraq, we have increased the ranks  of Al Qaida?

Explain what part of the invasion of Iraq was a blunder.

Bush's math seems a bit fuzzy. Out of 18k Al Quada terrorists, 1000 are said to be in Iraq. This leaves 17,000 somewhere else. Yet we have committed almost 100% of our efforts on the 1000.

We need to end the Iraq thing and start training CIA operatives to ferret these bastages out of their holes. This war will not be won by force of arms alone.

Really? You have data on that?

Yet you agree that attacking al Qaida directly in Afghanistan was the correct thing to do?

Why do you think attacking Al Qaida in Afghanistan was good...wouldn't attaking them directly cause them to increase their ranks?

What connection do you draw between Iraq and Al Qaida? Why would attacking Iraq increase Al Qaida's memembers, but attacking them directly in Alfghanistan would not?

I am going on the fact that the pentagon has stated that al qaeda has no links to iraq, and that it is pretty much common knowledge that our presence in iraq has increased the ranks of al qaeda.
