The sun setting between two tall buildings. Yea that isn't worth bring down the filth that did it once and will do it again. I just hope it is not my city. Your city is OK as any other city in America. But not Topeka! Then I want to hear more from any of you!

Allow me to make clear that I am talking EXPLICITLY about Iraq.
I whole-heartedly support sending al Qaeda back to the stone age.
It's one of the reasons that Bush saying he was unconcerned over the whereabouts of bin Laden just turns my stomach.
Q But don't you believe that the threat that bin Laden posed won't truly be eliminated until he is found either dead or alive?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, as I say, we haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him.
President Bush Holds Press Conference
We should have kept our eye on the ball and continued pounding al Qaeda. Our invasion of Iraq upheaved that nation, and actually INTRODUCED al Qaeda to a new area that it was not previously. Invading Iraq CREATED new terrorists according to the U.S.'s own intelligence reports.
