G.W. Bush's opponents claim that he has been an incompetent leader and decision maker concerning the security of America and America's role in the world. One of the recent reasons they use to back up their thinking is that "Iraq has become a hot bed for terrorist activity." They claim our continued presence there escalates the conflict and validates the hatred of the militant muslims. I say, Wow! What a great strategy. When you want to catch flies, use fly paper. "Swatting at flies" never really solved anything. If the Iraq conflict is drawing foreign terror groups to join in the fight, a great part of our job is done. That means we will need less effort in seeking them out. And what a better place to create a vacuum that sucks in the enemy, on the other side of the world and not on our home soil.

I keep telling people this exact same thing. Iraq is even centrally located allowing the islamofachist nuts to get there easily. It is a brilliant strategy. As we train the Iraqis, we also have the ability to have Arabs do the killing of the islamofachists. If we are able to create an Arab democracy in Iraq, it will become the regional superpower. It is a check mate move on them. Most people don't get it.

Reagan check mated the soviets by bankrupting them. It was brilliant. This strategy in Iraq, though not officially announced is brilliant as well.

This is exactly how I feel about Iraq. Bush is crazy - like a fox. He's created a legitimate shooting gallery and the terrorists have obliged by pouring in. The more the media and left wing criticize our efforts, the more incentive our enemies have to travel to Iraq - and get killed. It is so beautiful. I havn't heard any statistics, but I bet the body count is significant and goes a long way towards avenging those murdered on 911 as well as making the world safer.

Last night on fox, perhaps on H&C some dim dem was at first arguing that Bush squandered the oppotunity to track down terrorists by attacking Iraq. No more than a minute later he was saying that things in Iraq were horrible because terrorists were flooding in. These people are hopelessly illogical.

You are correct. It reminds me of SDI an other great strategy that precipitated the end of the cold war.

Abosutely brilliant, to echo the comments of other FReepers.

GW's tactics have created a "hotbed" of terrorism in Iraq. Terrorist networks are routing their efforts and resources there to combat our troops. Our armed forces are engaged directly with the relentless enemy on foreign soil.

And only the rats could have a problem with this.

1. The terrorists are routing much of their resources to Iraq, not the USA. While there is obviously still major activity here, their efforts are diminished.

2. The terrorists are on foreign soil engaged in combat where they will be killed. Not prosecuted, not sued, not jailed, not mourned over by the likes of the Democrat liberals, ACLU, CAIR, US trial lawyers, Guantanamo haters and other pathetic sniveling enemy toe-lickers...KILLED FOR GOOD. This alone must have the rats in a frenzy. Their heroes are getting wasted left and left.

3. Our troops are engaging these fiends, Not our mothers, wives, children and elderly. The finest troops in the world are systematically snuffing these fiends one by one.

Now really, who can argue against this? If you do, it suggests you'd rather have the hun at your front door than killing them in their hole before they get out. There is no winning counter to this arguement. You either want to win or surrender and worse.
