Exactly.
BTW, the US went to war when we were attacked for the nth time, by Islamofascist terrorist. How dumb can these lefties be?
Putin recently told that Russia warned us of Saddam's plans to strike the U.S. through terrorists, we were at war with Saddam and had a declared U.S. policy of regime change in Iraq.
Saddam had lots of reasons to strike us, and terrorists groups gave him a plausibly deniable way to do it. We had to do something about Iraq instead of allowing the infection to spread, possibly in a deadly vector at the heart of America.
Surely that is a rhetorical question...
