Again, good general force their opponents into a battlefield where the opponents are at a disadvantage and if their opponents lose, it is a strategic loss... And that is what Bush did... Bush would have been a fool to fight only in the battlefields selected by AQ... An Irai win makes an Afghanistan/Pakistani one possible... Afghan can not be won without a AQ strategic defeat in Iraq... This is what escapes your logic...
