A secure Iraq will not be an Iraq likely to support terror groups.

So when do we invade Somalia and the Pakistani tribal homelands? They are already natural and willing sanctuaries for terrorist groups.

And then we have to invade and occupy any unstable Third World region in the world where terrorists might congregate? Because if we don't, what have we gained by making huge sacrifices in Iraq but not sealing off other venues?

That's whack-a-mole on a crazy scale. Not to mention it has very little to do with how covert terrorists would execute a suitcase nuke attack on the US.

As I said before, these disparate groups and threats are all strung together in a vague web, and the magic answer is always to keep doing what we are doing in Iraq.

It's not a logical proof, just a campaign to plug a certain policy. It's also precisely why we invaded Iraq under false or mistaken premises in the first place.
