How far up one's ass does one have to reach to pull out such ignorance?

Bin Laden and all of Al Qaeda are in Iraq fighting us on "their own soil"?
How many Iraqis were on the 911 planes?
How long has it been since we were attacked on our own soil? (4 years). How long was it before that? (longer than 4 years)... Anyone with half an eye open knows they are in no hurry and are completely willing to take 10 years (or longer) to pull off the spectacular strike if that's what it takes.

Your comment falls even flatter when you take into the fact that Tony Blair is committed 100% behind GW and they have been struck on their own soil since the Iraq invasion.

The people who are fighting us now would not be fighting us now if we were not there. Regardless of one's feeling good or bad about the war, this is the fact.

BTW, this post is not debating the good or bad of the Iraq war, that is a whole separate issue, I was merely addressing your single horribly misguided comment.
