We are fighting islamic terrorists in Iraq rather than here and that's a good thing. That statement can be taken apart so many ways I hardly know where to start. Let's start with the term "Islamic terrorist." Does that refer to anyone who opposes us who is a muslim? Does it include any Iraqi who opposes us who happens to be a muslim even though he may be acting strictly out of nationalistic motives? Do you make a distinction between the average muslim and islamo-fascists? How do you know all the muslims who oppose us are islamo-fascists? After all, it's primarily the secular Sunnis who are planting the bombs, isn't it? Are you referring to "islamic terrorists" who were there before we got there and that's why we went to fight them? Or do you mean the ones who came from Syria because they saw an opportunity to kill Americans? Do I understand you to think it's OK to use US military personnel as bait for "islamic terrorists?" IS someone who strikes at military targets a terrorist? Or is that a nationalist? Were the American revolutionaries who opposed the British occupying force also terrorists? And no, it's not going to be AQ that takes down the Saudi royal family.

>>"We are fighting islamic terrorists in Iraq rather than here and that's a good thing."<< That is such a stupid remark. We have turned Iraq into a terrorist training ground and we are generating more and more people who want to kill us and an idiot such as you says this is a "good thing".
