Pres. George Bush fought al Qaeda.

Obama-the-Undocumented First Moslems ARMS al Qaeda

Everyone seems to have forgotten that Saddam gassed the Kurds and provided safe haven for the perpetrator of the first attack on the twin towers.

Good article. Sometimes I feel like I’m in the minority among conservatives now, but Saddam had to go—and really it should have been back in 1991. Regardless, the decision to take him out in 2003 was right, although the execution at first was terrible. Once we had a competent commander at the top (say what you want about Petraeus, you have to give him credit at least for Iraq) and more importantly started loosening the ROEs and giving power to local officers on the ground, the situation changed completely.
