I think that by far the most damaging accusations are that the Iraq war undermined the war on terror.

If that's the case, we need to start another war since the facts simply don't support such a notion. I would argue that the WOT is going very well and that the Iraq war has not so far done anything to hinder it.

1.- There have been no domestic terror attacks in the US since 9/11.

2.- The Taliban is gone and AQ as a result no longer has a secure harbor in which to operate.

3.- A huge number of AQ's leaders have been either killed or captured.

4.- Pakistan is our ally and helper.

5.- The Saudis are going after the terrorists in their backyard.

6.- Saddam, a financier of terror and a threat in his own right [recall the attempt to assassinate Bush in Kuwait], is gone.

7.- AQ's money has been stopped to a very large degree.

8.- Libya has been controlled.

9.- Iran is thinking twice about what it does.
