Bush has blown the war against terrorists. Instead of finding them and killing them, he has created more of them. Many more of them. We all agreed on Afghanistan. No debate. But once he let Osama go at Tora Bora (why the ceasefire GW???) he turned his sights to Iraq and lied to us saying Saddam was the real #1 terrorist threat, and that Osama no longer mattered. But Saddam was never a terrorist, not even an Islamic. He was not a top threat. He simply was a possible potential threat with a lot of oil. It's time people quit talking about Iraq as the War On Terror, except of course Bush made it so by inviting them in. "Bring it on!" Bush challenged any and all terrorists, and they did come. But much worse than that was that our very presence in Iraq, not to mention Abu Graiab etc. have created tens of thousands of new terrorists around the Arab world. Frankly, I think Bush-Cheney invaded Iraq for Exxon and Halliburton. It had little to do with trying to make us safer. It also jacked up oil prices, didn't lower them as they promised us it would.
