What was he doing to undermine the government of Iraq? You see what I am getting at? Our being there has empowered these people to come out of the woodwork. Al-Queida is stronger now than it was before we invaded Iraq. Our whole purpose for going there was to eliminate the threat of WMDs Saddam Hussein supposedly had. The intelligence was obviously flawed. We toppled his government, set up a new one, got caught in the middle of a civil war between Sunnis and Shiites, and, in this whole process, managed to find ourselves fighting Al-Queida more than we ever did prior to this invasion. Where does it end, DT? You tell me. At what point do we say enough is enough with meddling in Middle Eastern affairs? The whole pre-emptive strike approach has only served to weaken the United States, not make it stronger.
