I couldn't agree with you more NMJohnnie about the stupidity of this comment that is made constantly by the democrat leadership in this country. Not only is it more of the same old blame america first garbage, it demonstrates their complete ignorance of terrorists and their game plan.
President Bush's war fighting approach -- better there than here -- is obviously the right one. That more terrorists came into Iraq once we were in Iraq, was, imho, part of the strategy all along. Get them where our war fighter's are and kill or capture them. That this strategery is missed by our idiotic friends on the left is no surprise. That they continue to blame america for the increase in terrorism is also no surprise.
I agree dad and I have discussed this many times and he has always said from day one that this was the game plan.
