The media is out of hand

They're werent any terrorists in Iraq until we invaded. Thing about it: you are saying we have to stay and fight the terrorists that our presence attracts? isn't that like standing outside to fight mosquitoes because you're afraid they might follow back in the house?

forestal: just what the hell do you think IS at risk?

Our intent is, as far as I can tell, to stop the Islamic Fascists over there - before it gets a foothold on our shores.

Excuse me, upon rethinking that statement, I believe there ARE sleeper cells here already; but the CIA, FBI and other law enforcement agencies are keeping them at bay, watching them so intently, that they dare not make an overt move.

I think the Bush administration's intent is, that if we can achieve a modicum of democracy over in the Middle East, it would be an example to the rest of the neighboring states. That they do not necessarily have to follow in the footsteps of their fathers; there is a better way to get along with others.
