You miss my point, though. If there are X number of terrorists, do you want that number further spread out, which will in turn dilute our ability to defeat them, or do you want to have fewer battlefields where we can concentrate more of our strength with greater results? I'm not saying we'll get them all in Iraq. That would be foolish, but any we kill there won't find their way onto our soil.

No, I get your point, and \you're wrong. Iraq was a fifth rate power with no WMDs, and didn't have anything to do with 9-11. So instead of concentrating our forces against the 9-11 terrorists in Afghanistand (and Pakistan) we go after Iraq, and lose more than 700 lives in this worthless venture.
