"The right thing would be to go after the Al Qaeda network." And a fine job they are doing of this as well..... including routing out Al Qaeda in Iraq.

"Two weeks ago the Philippines expelled Iraqi diplomat Husham Husain after discovering he had received a phone call from an Abu Sayyaf member the day after the group staged an October 3 bombing that killed a U.S. Green Beret on the southern island of Mindanao. After the diplomat's deportation, Abu Sayyaf leader Hamsiraji Sali stated on Philippine TV that Iraq was paying bounties to his gunmen to murder U.S. troops." The Abu Sayyaf also has connections with al Qaeda. For a decade, Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law, laundered money through his Manila-based front companies to finance the extremist group, among others in the region. Philippine intelligence believes that Ramzi Yousef, who planned the first World Trade Center bombing from Manila, had contact and training with the Abu Sayyaf. Ditto for some of the 9/11 hijackers." - from the Wall Street Journal Tuesday, February 25, 2003 12:01 a.m. EST re:"The right thing would be to go after the Al Qaeda network. Saddam Hussein was so defanged that he couldn't even put up a fight. But then we knew where Saddam was and we don't know where the heck the other guy is ("What was his name? Something bin Laden, right? ;-) )" -Note- published before Operation Iraqi Freedom
