If they had a way of coming into the USA and striking effectively they would have by now Iraq or no Iraq. It's not like there's just 10 of them and they're all Over There right now. It's a childish logic.

I disagree. Al Qaeda has been forced to redirect its resources. Just because the 19 who struck us on 9/11 were Saudis doesn't really differentiate them ideologically from those coming from Syria and Iran.

The 19 who struck us on 9/11 didn't need much help at all. They planned these attacks from places like London, Hamburg, and Jersey City . . . and the plane tickets were the most expensive part of their plan.
