I've been asking for Bin Laden to be killed and focused on since 98, and never did I see a major threat/presence from them IN Iraq until we invaded

No, invade it because of your belief of wmd or to remove Saddam. Even *I* cannot stomach that anymore and I supported the damn invasion as much as anybody. The last thing this nation needs is to teach people that Iraq was a hot bed for Al Queda pre 9/11. Saddam would not want anything but an iron grip for his own needs. He might have had meetings ,but the real base/source of Al Queda is Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia and most of the top 50 had no ties to Iraq at all. Most of the hijackers are Saudi. It's a disgrace to even link the 2 when talking about 9/11. We never really went FULL out on the taliban/al queda in the appropriate countries for many reasons. Let's be real, here.

You completely missed his point. As usual.

Neil don't you know all posters here have inside information on such things as the mets, the economy, iraq, AQ, race (me) among other things? It's just something people have to get used to.
