I would say that the statement: "we are fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here" falls into the fear mongering category. First, as George Tenent says in his book...they have the ability to enter our country through our pourous borders and blow up our shopping malls any day they chose to...regardless of what is going on in Iraq. The argument that Iraq draws them like flies..(?) so they don't choose instead to come to the U.S. is silly. They would go where they choose to go. It is easier to fight in the Middle East than in the U.S., but our being in Iraq has no bearing whatsoever on their ability to fight here....IF they chose to do so. The Heritage Foundation, a very conservative think tank, asked the President to stop using that phrase because it was designed only to create insecurity in the American population and bore no relation to actual facts and abilities of our enemies. Therefore, I would consider continued use of that phrase to be fear mongering.
