The message came as a total shock to liberals who have been furiously insisting that Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with al-Qaida. This is the second time today I read that ghastly logical fallacy and it's already gotten on my nerves. The original question about the connection between AQ and Iraq was whether Iraq had any responsibility for 9/11 in particular and Islamacist terrorism in general. Those who saw a weak or non-existant connection questioned the invasion of Iraq. Fast forward to 3/11. Iraqi responsibility for 9/11 etc. is no greater now than it was originally. If anything, it is less since the alleged WMD have not turned up. But we have a new connection between AQ and Iraq, one we created when we invaded them, "defiling" Arab lands. This new connection is the one that triggered AQ's action in Spain. This piece you posted does not distinguish type of connection. It just lumps the original connection, not of our making, with the connection we, ourselves, created, and then claims the "liberals" were wrong that there was no connection. LOL. Ghastly logic. But great for stirring the true believers.
