"We were almost routed by the Taliban!" When did that happen? Actually, after 911 everyone expected more terror attacks in our country and AQ promised more attacks. At the same time, AQ was massively popular in the Arab world having been able to strike a giant blow at the greatest infidel power. By putting troops into the Arab heartland, Bush diverted the terrorists to Iraq. Fighting them and defeating them on their own ground instead of ours. And drawing them into making attacks against fellow Arabs - now AQ is hated even by most Arabs instead of being admired. The US hasn't been attacked since 911. Even our embassies overseas haven't been. With the exception of Iraq and Afghanistan of course. Compare this to the decade prior to 911 when our troops and embassies were hit all over the world - remember the African embassies, the USS Cole, the barracks bombings? Amazing that outside the two war zones, none of this has been happening since. Wonder what the real Sun Tzu would say about that? He'd probably actually advocate beheading our domestic fifth columnists, who seek our defeat for their own partisan purposes.
