    Pelosi said that Iraq wasn't a war to be won but a situation to be solved.

    The liberals and Dems have denied vehemently that Iraq has anything to do with the War on Terror (aka Islamofascism).

    Al Qaeda disagrees.

    Implicit in this report is the notion that al Qaeda viewed the Republican defeat as a victory for them.

    The war in Iraq certainly does have an impact on terrorism. It has made it much worse by serving as a training ground for al-Quaeda.

    Only if you call dying training or think that their terrorist efforts prior to Iraq were ineffective.

    They didn't seem to have too much difficulty in Somalia or even NY, did they?


    Again, following the stupidity of such "logic", we should never fight an aggressor since they might learn how to fight us better... we should never pursue criminals since they might learn how to evade justice...

    Your statement is inane. You can't appease your enemies simply because they won't sit there stupid and let you beat them...

    I can almost see how a liberal would think that though. You think the "rich" will just accept tax increases without collecting them from those you are supposedly defending by raising prices, cutting wages and benefits, reducing headcount, and demanding the same from their vendors thus hurting their employees as well. The only real beneficiaries of "tax the rich" are lying politicians, bureaucrats, and accountants. Everyone else loses.

    Don't forget:
    1. Iraq had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the attack on September 11th.
    2. OBL hated Saddam, and the feeling was definitely mutual.
    3. Al-Zarqawi was in Iraq prior to the invasion - he was up in the Kurdish region that Saddam did not control.
    4. Now that we are there, so are the terrorists - many of them from other countries.
    5. Saddam was a brutal dictator - and there is now way he would have supplied OBL with any WMD, especially since the evidence suggests that he hasn't had them since the end of the first Gulf War.
    6. The US is now stuck in a quagmire. We cannot leave now, and there is no end in sight.

    There you go again with a discussion on "liberals." Remember that it wasn't a "liberal" that raised the debt ceiling more than once.....

    Regards, hope all is well,

    To finish your statement, because it led to the removal of Rumsfeld. Now do you really believe removing Rumfeld changes the war? Do you really believe removing Rumfeld is a victory for Al-Qaida?

    "On the audio tape made available on militant Web sites, the al-Qaida in Iraq leader also welcomed the Republican electoral defeat that led to the departure of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. He added that the group's fighters would not rest until they had blown up the White House."

    The official war was won back in 2004. The Iraqi Army is our ally now - we supply them with money, guns and training.

    If we are treating the current fighting as a war, then captured fighters from the other side should be treated as POWs don't you think? Al Qaeda has no national boundaries and a very loose command structure.

    That's not quite right - Iraq didn't used to have anything to do with the War on Terror, aka al Qaeda, but we brought it to them because we prefer to fight in their back yards.

    Do you believe everything al Qaeda says?

    Personally, I find it more interesting to me that Daisy and I are in agreement -- have been in several issues over the last month or so. Hmm, and I getting more intelligent?

    Perhaps neither of us are totally dogmatic party-liners...

    Al Qaeda has freely admitted that Bush's invasion of Iraq was a great victory for them, as it gave them a new base of operations, and a wonderful recruiting tool.

    So they cooperated with Bush in the campaign, by endorsing his opponents, knowing that endorsement would help Bush.

    Or are they are so stupid, that they think their endorsement of candidates would make Americans vote for them?

    Aren't they?

    (WFTH-I)
