I love people like Ellsburg's reasoning. To wit Al-Qaeda is a severe threat to our country, so therefore we shouldn't be fighting them in Iraq. But these clowns further contradict themselves. First they say that fighting terrorists is legitimate (if they're not in Iraq), but then they claim by fighting them we are creating more of them so maybe we shouldn't fight them. How does Ellsburg know that we didn't create more terrorists when we ousted the Taliban? Why would toppling Hussein create more terrorists than getting rid of the Taliban a government that sponsored terrorist orgs like Al-Qaeda? And is he saying that if you perceive a threat to your country, don't react to it because you might make more enemies? Ellsburg's "logic" escapes me.
Iraq is a magnet for terrorists and our well equipped miltary is fighting them in Iraq and elsewhere and not here.I say that's the right way.
AND look at the map. Bush is surrounding them.
