It is a choice do you wish to defend yourself from future attacks.The only choice we had is what battlefield we wanted to fight on. People do forget we have captured high level Al-Qaeda in Iraq.
Oh, you must be refering to Afganastan ...... I thought we were talking about Iraq.

I believe we invaded Iraq on the (what turned out to be a mistake) belief they had WMD's and were gonna use 'em. At least that's what the Shrub told us and the rest of the world. There was little to no Al Quada present in Iraq 'cause they didn't trust Sadam either.

As ruthless and nasty as he was, one thing Sadam did was keep the lid on a very volitale mixture of factions .......... we haven't done that. What we did was remove the lid and wait for the crowds of people cheering us, their liberators. Something else Dick Cheney was wrong about.
