At least Iraq is moving toward democracy…
War in Iraq looks like last stand for al Qaeda
The war in Iraq is increasingly looking more like a showdown with Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda followers than a battle primarily against Saddam Hussein loyalists.
The shift is making the fight a focal point of the U.S. global war against Islamic terrorists and one that might dictate whether the U.S. wins or loses, said a senior official and an outside expert.
“If they fail in Iraq, Osama and his whole crew are finished,” said retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney, a military author and analyst.
“In the Muslim world and extremist world, this fight for Iraq is their key battle,” said Gen. McInerney. “If they lose it, they lose the war. And so the imams are inciting young people, not particular well-educated, to head to Iraq. Most are going through Syria via Damascus.
“This is why Iraq is such a fundamental part of the global war on terrorism. When we finally defeat Muslim extremists, it will be the battle in Iraq that defeats them.”
But liberals are against this. They think the war in Iraq was just an election ploy… or something. Or it was invented so the Bush administration could give a contract to Halliburton. I don’t know. Ask Michael Moore—I can’t remember any more. Ask Carolyn Parrish or Svend Robinson or Irwin Cotler—they seem to know all the ins and outs of being liberal.
