don't give a rats ass about the house of saud. I care about America. What about you?

. It is obvious that you can't handle more than one thought at a time and I have better debates going on. I will say this one last thing, if we had attacked Saudi Arabia instead of Afghanistan Al Quaeda would still be at full operational strength and we would be celebrating 911 version 2 about now.

Now you're an expert on terrorism? TF, terrorism needs money. And where is the most money? And from where did fifteen of 9-11 terrorists come from? I'll rule out a couple. Not Iraq. Not Afghanistan.

Now that you are uptospeed, they come from the house of saud...which gave birth to OBL.

You are correct Texasforever - Afghanistan was the first imperative, and Iraq was the first step in a bold plan for that entire neighborhood (and it was intended to send a strong signal to certain dictators in north Africa and east Asia, but the news media are doing their best to undermine that).

Bush's plan is as complex and far-reaching as it is bold. Americans get so impatient because foreign policy and defense strategies can't be laid out on the table. It isn't all about Iraq-style invasions. And it can't all be implemented at once.

Patience and a second Bush term are what are needed.
