The "terrorists" you are talking about in Iraq, or the insurgents as they are often labeled, are home grown for the most part. They are Iraqis that are rebelling against being invaded. Imagine how you would feel if our country was invaded. Would you be an insurgent against the invaders? Damn right you would be...unless you're a chicken sheet. There is no equivalency between Iraqi insurgents and AQ. They're separate entities. There have been some outside jihadists enter the picture too. Many of these are muslims that were not even part of AQ, but do not like the fact that Iraq has been invaded by "Christians" or westerners. The invasion itself has now created a new kind of jihadist. The CIA now says we are creating terrorists in Iraq. Your twisted logic which says that we haven't been attacked because they're too busy doesn't hold water. There has been an increase in world wide terror since the Iraq invasion. It doesn't take a lot of manpower or money to launch a terror attack. They will strike when they are ready...and they are likely getting ready now. All the terror experts are saying it's a matter of time and we will be hit again. Take that info, and then add to it the thousands of terrorists being generated by the Iraq invasion and what you have is a collision with more death and destruction. Deducting that it hasn't happened yet because we're in Iraq...simply doesn't make any sense. Orca
