By invading it, the US has destroyed not a breeding ground, but created a terrorist training camp many times better than the ones that existed in Afghanistan. You see, Afghanistan was BOTH a training ground AND a breeding ground. Iraq, on the other hand, was neither to any significant degree. How many Iraqis attacked the US prior to invasion? Zero. How many Saudis? 15. So where's the breeding ground? This is why plopping an Army into Iraq and thinking we can exterminate the terrorists is flawed: the breeding grounds still exist! As I've said, you can't rid yourself of pests without destroying the hive and hive is not and was not Iraq: it's Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Pakistan, et al. If you want apples go to the tree. BTW - I'll bet dollars to donuts that if they catch London bombers that not a single one is Iraqi. The "draw them out" policy is utterly false. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:163873 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
