Arguably, Al Qaida is stronger than ever. The invasion of Iraq without the support of Arab moderate states has given Al Qaida recruiters the perfect neo-colonial boogey man, the Bush White House. We should expects years and years of terrorist threats coming out of the Iraq invasion. Of course our troops there now are already suffering from that escalation. Therefore, arguably, the Iraq invasion has made us less safe not more. It certainly hasn't pacified anyone anywhere. Saddam's forces haven't even been pacified, if we are to believe Bushie reports that former Baathists are the ones attacking us, along with foreign terrorists. What's most ridiculous is the damage cotnrol spin the WH puts on Iraq, that this was all planned to fight terrorism in Iraq instead of in the US. Talk about manufacturing a silver lining. They really will come up with any excuse, won't they?

claimed somehow that the US was negotiating with OBL. What do you call it when the administration publicly states that they aren't going after Osama? That is how negotiations are carried out when you don't have an ambasador to Al Qaeda or an embassy in Tora Bora. Junior's team has told Osama the only way they can. Junior gives up, Osama gets off, just please don't hurt my election. <font color=blue>It's been <font color=red>803 <font color=blue>days since Bush said he'd catch Osama bin Laden 'Dead or Alive!' <font color=black> TP hipakistan.com Vice-Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Peter Pace said at US military headquarters just north of Kabul that Osama's capture was not essential to winning the "war on terror".
