W ...giving the terrorists what they want

[SHRED]

USA troops out of Saudi Arabia.
Flew Osama's family members out of the USA just after 9-11.
The overthrow of Saddam Hussein.
Focus off of Afghanistan.
A porous Iraqi border.
Shredding of the Bill of Rights ("they hate us for our freedoms").
Still only 10% of shipping container imports inspected.
Osama and Zawahiri still in charge.
Made Iraq a great recruiting tool for terrorists.

Shrub couldn't quite sell some of our ports away to the UAE...but he tried.

Feel free to add to the list.

1. 140,000 targets to practice on in Iraq

2. And what happens if shrub attacks Iran?

The Shia will be weakened and the Sunnis will regain a major foothold in the entire region.
Osama must be orgasmic with the possibility of that happening.

3. What he is giving Al Qaeda is time

The real AlQaeda is hiding out in Pakistan among Pakistani citizens and officials who support them.

Pakistan already has nuclear capability, (and scientists who have already sold secret nuclear plans)

Is it a stretch to think that Pakistan also has people who will sell Al Qaeda plans to develop a dirty bomb in a suitcase? Or, that they already have? Plans that are presently being prepared while Chucklenuts has us bogged down in Bagdad?

4. Don't kid yourself

Al Queda already has all the access to nukes they want and likely biological and chemical weapons. If they wanted to use it they would. It's a lot cheaper and easier to just sit back and let us scare ourselves into bankruptcy.
