I still don’t see what your point is here beyond controlling that flow
(your original point was how it was obvious that this was all about
freeing the Iraqis, yet still admit it was about the oil one way or the
other).

Our main objective was eliminating a dangerous threat in the person of SH
(via WMD proliferation mainly...

If you do think he had WMD,

Along with everybody else.

are you not concerned that Bush has engineered a
situation whereby OBL’s foot soldiers are apparently crawling all over the
country?

What exactly do you mean? Yes, there are terrorists there to attack
Americans. But can you not see that we are not the only targets? What if,
tomorrow, we were to evacuate completely from Iraq? Do you think that the
terrorism in Iraq would stop? Of course not! These terrorists fight against
Freedom and Democracy. A free Iraq is now suddenly a greater and more
imminent threat to their cause than the existence of the US!
So meanwhile, the war on terrorism is on their turf, not ours.

Oh that’s simple then--there’s the base line right there!
We can kick at the ant hill all we want and so long as the ants don’t come and
attack us directly, then things are honkey dory!
We can get the hornets all nice and angry by throwing rocks at the nest, but
when they actually come flying at us, you cry ‘foul’!
Your country has been ‘kicking things up’ in the Middle East for years. This
has little to do with extremism, for if it was, then all ‘Christian countries’
would be equally attacked by these extremists. As it is, it’s your country
under threat.
Your country was a predominant force in making this mess, don’t go crying
because the fruits of your exploitation are now fighting back.
I am in awe of “As long as the killing is over there and not here. we’re okay”
mindset. “Their turf, not ours!”
Yeah, brilliant. Humanity’s finest shining example.
