How Can Iraq Not Be A Front In The War On Terror?
Many critics of the war in Iraq are fond of saying that it has nothing to do with fighting terrorism. Their answers to questions about what the war is really about, if not terrorism, are varied. They range from “for oil” to “for profit for Halliburton, etc.”, but one thing these people are always consistent on is the idea that Americans aren’t any safer from terrorism because of the war in Iraq.
Yet recently where they’re being absolutely slaughtered by our troops rather than spending it on planning attacks against targets here in America? Or targets in Europe?
It is, obviously, and it also means that the war in Iraq is and always has been a part of the war on terror. You cannot point out that international terrorists are raising and expending huge amounts of money on fighting us in Iraq and then turn around and deny that Iraq is part of the war on terror.
Iraq is part of the war on terror, we are fighting them there so we don’t have to fight them here, and the war has made Americans safer from terrorism in general. The people denying these things are either morons or unable to see beyond the end of their partisan noses.
