I absolutely agree. The terrorists know exactly how important Iraq is. By staying on offense, we have committed them to defending a territory they can't afford to lose. While they will still attempt attacks on our soil, those attempts will most likely be far and fewer between since they are fighting in the ME. Heck, how many stories have we seen of terorists leaving this country to go fight over there. The Democrats are right...Iraq is a distraction; a distraction for the terrorists and their plans to attack us.
