I see the war in Iraq as an ingenious plan that hits Al Qaeda harder than any other alternative and it got rid of Saddam Hussein at the same time.
Iraq is a muslim country and a gulf state. It is important. Al Qaeda has to come out into the open there and engage our troops. That is the
difficult thing with terrorists, getting them out into the open where they can be engaged.
I could care less about the WMD or any ploy, getting our troops in there and thus, drawing out Al Qaeda is the important thing. Iraq, during the Bush
administration was like the Roach Hotel, "Terrorists Check in, but they Don't check out".
By electing Obama as president, we signalled to Al Qaeda that we are, as a country, weary of the war and it emboldens them. They have been losing
badly for the past six years and Obama's victory gives them a ray of hope. They will reconstitute and come back and hit us again. Many American and
western civilians will die as a result of it. It doesn't matter that intentions are peaceful and that you are nice, what matters is, our people will
die. This is war, one prosecutes it until the enemy is dead or captured.
The CEOs of Halliburton didn't start this war. Muslim terrorists did.
