I have a feeling this Washington Post writer will either be unemployed or writing about middle school car washes by this time next week.

In a stunning admission, the Washington Post said Sunday that President Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq deserves at least some of the credit for the fact that terrorists have not been able to launch another 9/11-style strike against America.

"A broad cross section of counterterrorism officials believes al Qaeda and like-minded groups, in part frustrated by increased U.S. security measures, are focusing instead on Americans deployed in Iraq," the paper said, "where the groups operate with relative impunity." Bush administration officials have long argued that taking the war to the terrorists' doorstep was the best way of drawing fire away from the homeland, while "draining the swamp" of global terrorism's most notorious players.

So I wonder how the CROW tastes over at the Wash Post? Stringy and tough I hope.

Sounds like a Young Republican intern got access to the editorial database just before publication.

Will await for the profuse apologize Monday.

It's all Bush's fault. {:-)

[AZHua87]

Yep!

It's a long stretch of the imagination to suggest that they're too busy in Iraq to launch attacks here. WaPo can't get the good things right while trying to make up for lost ground.

I feel so much better now that the comPost has made this clear. To them a big DUH !!!!! ;)

Wow, I think I just saw Arnold Ziffel fly by my window . . .

Yet I'll bet the Post's writers will uniformly screech like banshees when and if we go into Iran.

We are on the strategic offensive. We have taken the initiative and the enemy is reacting to us instead of the other way around.

Oddly enough, there are more than a few at the Post who thought that deposing Saddam was a good thing.

In France a new Airbus 380-virgins-in-heaven target peaks from behind a hangar door.

You're welcome.

Thanks for the link to the WaPo article, very interesting read.

[Americanexpat]

Thanks for the article. These people that say the terrorists are operating in Iraq with impunity still don't get it. Our guys and the Iraqis are killing and capturing them everyday.
