If that's their plan, it's a pretty bad one. The fact that there hasn't been a major attack on US soil since 9/11 isn't anything to brag about, and it has nothing to do with Iraq, the last attacks were a decade apart. You're bringing the battle to people who weren't in it before, who wanted nothing to do with it, you can't just lump all brown people together. Now you're just creating more enemies, and you haven't weakened Al Qaeda. You should have kept the battlefield in Afghanistan, and finished the job there.
This war was about Neo cons employing their policy of pre-emption on regimes they decide aren't friendly to US interests. Everything they tell you on the news about what they went to war, what they're doing over there, and what they're achieving is bullshit, but most of you guys realize that by now. It's too bad, the media is what stopped the Vietnam war, by telling people the truth of what was going on. Now the US won't even let Al Jazeera broadcast real pictures from the war without shutting them down and bombing their studios, let alone US networks.
