Bush has done a miserable job of linking Iraq to the WOT. Maybe its rope-a-dope, I dont know.
Doing so is very simple. Just ask your opponent to describe a strategy for winning the WOT while leaving Saddam in power. Then watch then squirm
Lots of fun, bring friends and refreshments.
Countless terrorist groups operating inside Iraq, listen to American and British media. The criticisms levied by Kerry play well in the hands of the terrorists and provide the the added fuel to brainwash suicide bombers or to incite criminals to behead Americans and civilians of other nations.
I was, and am, deeply offended by the liberal line that the US deserved 911 for it's insensivity in dealing with the 7th century world in the 20th/21st century.
It is a harsh thing to say, but you can make the case that if American citizens fall for Kerry's BS they truly will have earned the next one.
