No one gave Al Qaeda the kind of PR they longed for like Bush. They will miss him terribly. Bush did almost everything Al Qaeda could have hoped for. He gave them enormous press for 9/11. And who hasn't heard the mantra 9/11 changes everything? That's an Al Qaeda wet dream, that is. And the Iraq invasion? Talk about a gift to Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda may not have been much in Iraq before our invasion, but they are certainly there now. I hope they send Mr. Bush a thank you card before he leaves. For the rest of us, not so interested in supporting Al Qaeda, I don't think we can see the back of Mr. Bush soon enough. Message 23795689 From the let's put our head in the sand and pretend nothing happened folks - the above comes from a person who opposed going into Afghanistan after AQ. AQ would still have open military bases in Taliban ruled Afghanistan, if this person "not interested in supporting Al Qaeda" had had their way, with another 80,000 (an estimate of how many were trained there before 911) or more terrorists having gone through their training camps there. As if pulling off the 911 attack didn't give AQ massive press attention and PR by itself. Immediately after 911, you had Osama bragging on videotape about how they were now the "strong horse" which everyone likes to back. But this group thinks we "support" them by admitting they actually attacked us. Imagine how things would be if we'd not killed a single AQ member now. Had taken none prisoners while Osama and Zawahiri mocked the country daily on Al Jazeera. Imagine that the country's leadership was stupidly trying to pretend it hadn't received the biggest attack ever on its homeland from a foreign entity. Which attack only missed by chance taking out a significant chunk of our federal government - the plane that hit the Pentagon could have taken out the SecDef if they'd been lucky and flight 93, which the brave passengers forced down in PA, was intended for the Capital. Suppose half our Congress had been taken out? Would the anti-WOT folks still be saying let's not give them any PR by admitting we were attacked? How many more attacks would we have had by now if our leadership had continued following the law enforcement approach? If we foreswore secretly tracking international financing flows and monitoring of foreign communications - the "shredding of the constitution" these types complain about?
