Iraq is the center front of the war on terror and both Iran and Syria are heavily involved by supporting and arming the terrorists there whether they are locals Iraqis or Al Qaeda.

To say Iraq is the center front in the war on terror is quite different than saying "Iraq WAS the center front of the war on terror" when we invaded. It wasn't. I supported the war at the time because of the WMD argument. However, to gut a sovereign nation and put its long-oppressed people in the middle of a shooting gallery between the USA and terrorists is irresponsible. TO say "we're attracting terrorists to your country like flies to manure" is nothing to be proud of. I agree with Dr Paul that the war, now entered, must be resolved with the full force of a nation, not as an interminable police action. Has it gone on longer than WW II now? I think it has.

This war is not a police action and you degenerating the service of our troops for saying so. It is a real war but it is a different type of war. It is war where you have to engaged the terrorist enemy who is hiding among civilians, bring the enemy out and kill them. We do not win the war on terror through carpet bombing or nuking cities, you go inside the cities and kill the terrorists, that is what many are not understanding.

The terrorists chose Iraq to be the center front of the war on terror, and Saddam Hussein as I showed in the Iraqi documents that I translated has been training the "foreign muslim terrorists" since the year 2000 and these are the same "foreign terrorists" who now constitute the main force of terrorism in Iraq and has caused untold death and destruction on the Iraqi people and killed many of our troops.

Thanks the Lord that our President is a great leader who does not care about the public opinion but doing the right thing in leading our brave troops to destroy islamic terrorism in Iraq and elsewhere.

God bless President Bush and our brave troops.

How is this now, or ever, going to be avoidable? The terrorists enjoy the "cover" of the societies that they infect. Can't we state with some clarity that millions of long-oppressed Germans were put in the middle of a shooting gallery during WWII?
