I haven't seen that, but Zarqawi has achieved much in that objective. I assume that Saddam, even seen by many as a "great Arab leader," would be a target for AQ because of his Baathification of Iraq, without STRICT adherence to the Koran. I never bought the lefty secularism lie to prevent invasion, he was a Muslim fanatic like the rest of AQ, but with different agendas.

What a lot of people seem to ignore and is extremely important was that Saddam government was in a state of near Anarchy about the time we moved in.

There were three factions that had the power and a plan to taking out what was remaining in Iraq. None of them would have been in our interest so the US took Iraq.

What we done in Iraq was the right thing. The Bush administration is doing a piss poor job at defending their actions, and for the life of me I don't understand why.
