Rumsfeld: Iraq 'linchpin' of terror war

U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld called Iraq "the linchpin" of the war on terror Monday on the fifth anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks.

In an opinion piece published in the Wall Street Journal, the defense secretary repeated the Bush administration's argument that invading Iraq was a critical part of the war on terror.

"Osama bin Laden calls Iraq the 'epicenter' of this war, and he believes that 'America is prepared to wage easy wars but not prepared to fight long and bitter wars." Rumsfeld wrote.

Critics of the war say that it was the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq that made the country a terrorist battleground. A report released last week by the Senate Intelligence Committee found no connection between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida.

4. It's the linchpin in the

Project For A New American Century plan for World domination, but that's something they can't tell you. I'm tired of rumsfeld's lies already. The rest of the neo-cons too for that matter. I dedicate every day from now till the election to remove these criminals from power.
