If you want to argue semantics, one could support their position. Since there were no major terrorist attacks made against the people of Iraq, one could reasonably argue that there was no terrorism in Iraq. Nevermind that some of the terrorists attacking other areas were based in Iraq.

you probably missed the last sentence of my post, in which I pointed out that many terrorists were based in Iraq, thus confirming my abject opposition to the Kerry Campaign's lies.

You know, the sad thing is that they don't realize they are fooling people. A hallmark of being a liberal is a pattern of delusional thinking that lets the liberal 'feel' that what they are doing is for the greater good.

Such a good point. Liberalism revolves around how we feel. Conservatives tend to require logical reasoning to support claims and opinions. What a difference it makes.

Who was the terrorist that Saddam apparantly had executed while he was on holiday in Iraq? Seems to me it was Abu Abbas.

How dare you counter Kerry with reports from the Senate Intelligence Committee!?! What do you think he is privy to such information! It isn't HIS fault that he is ignorant to the goings on of that committee! He's a busy man..
