Straw man. Bait and switch.
This isn't about Al Qaeda. This is about not standing by while evil forces gather.
We are presently at war with Iraq, and have been. Our present war began 10 years ago, intended to stop the on-going slaughter of Iraqi Kurds and Shiites, and to prevent a repeat of the genocide Saddam committed against them throughout the eighties.
A reading of the history of Saddam's dealings with the Kurds is sufficient to shock the conscience of any moral creature. It reached its climax in the aftermath of the Gulf War.
Bush Sr. was not a do-gooder, and did not intend to be drawn into this, but the reality on the ground was so bad that he was driven to intervene. He put US Marines and Special Forces on the ground to stop the killing, and then instituted the aerial patrols that continue to this day.
These patrols have also kept Saddam's forces from repeating the invasion of Kuwait, which he has threatened several times since the Gulf War. It has kept him bottled up, and along with the sanctions, have kept him from rebuilding his military to its former power.
But he is trying. He has thousands of engineers and technicians working fulltime to develop nuclear weaponry. And he has the cooperation of the Germans and the French in all of this. No one doubts that, sanctions or no sanctions, inspectors or no, no-fly zones or none, he will eventually escape from his box.
If he is coming for you tomorrow, you must go for him today. Tomorrow will be too late.

This POS has the info and I'd give dollars to donuts that So Damn Insane has the info now as well...
