[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1027032, member: 2189"] Sober's point was well made. Even those who at the time in 2002' were making the argument that Iraq was linked to Al Qaeda admit now this is not the case. However, once we invaded, this opened the door and Al Qaeda took full advantage and then set up shop. From the Council on Foreign Relations (Just, please leave the conspiracy hat for the moment) on [URL="http://www.cfr.org/iraq/al-qaeda-iraq/p14811"][COLOR=#ff0000]"Al Qaeda in Iraq"[/COLOR][/URL] a backgrounder brief we read the following, continuing and continuing The CFR backgrounder goes on to say there is growing concern that a current AQI presence may be growing again so that suggests watching but if one reads even the policy wonks and cheerleaders for Iraq invasion, they do now admit that prior to said invasion, AQI as we would know it did not exist and that the invasion was a seedbed from which terrorism activity would spring forth. IMO the facts seem to vindicate Sober's points and his questions. The BC sensor blocked the following word I'll spell vertically. S H I I T E (s) [/QUOTE]
