That being said, Bush has done a crappy job as to explaining why we went into Iraq.
Either you get it [post-September 11, 2001] or you don't. I understand completely why we went into Iraq.
Or......you get it but you can't ever admit you do, for fear of giving President Bush any credit at all.
This writer is one one those.
This writer also goes after the cheapshot. Accusing Bush of going to war because Saddam tried to murder his Daddy, as if this war is nothing but a blood feud. Shame on any American reporter who belittles the significance of a foreign power attempting to kill the President of the United States!
Greeley says No. Apparently Tom Ridge agrees with him, because he's put the nation on high terror alert . Hmmm. Maybe Saddam's capture DIDN'T make us all that more secure?
When I look at a map of the middle-east, I see Iraq as the hub of a wheel. The mostly land locked terrorist (generally most are poorly educated and do foot, truck or car travel) have to go through Iraq to get back and forth from Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Pakistan, Afganistan and the the like. Removing the terrorist friendly Iraqi state makes it a lot tougher for Terrorists to stealthly move about. Atleast, along their traditional routes. JMO
