Thanks for pinging me to this article, prairie. (You must have an excellent memory!)

We can either kill THEM in Iraq or wait for them to come to our shores to kill unarmed, unsuspecting civilians.

That is what I have been thinking for months now. Also, Iraq is a very close base of intelligence/black ops to neighboring Syria and Iran. On the intelligence note, I saw a program how it used to take years to entrench a country with intelligence operatives. In this case, you have lots of willing middle eastern Iraqi recruits who need and want our money for this job and dispatching them out should take far less time. Remember, Bush Sr. claim to fame was CIA during the cold war. Dad must have had some interesting advice to Bush JR.

Unfortunate for our soldiers who bear the burden of liberty and trying to destroy this enemy. However, heavily armed ground troops stand a better chance against a suicide bomber or hit and run squad then defenseless civilians.
