The left, if they acknowledge any pre-Operation Enduring Freedom AQ in Iraq at all, will say that most of the AQ were in the north which was not securely under SH’s control. What they don’t say (or perhaps realize) is that AQ in the north was fighting Kurds on behalf of SH.

Now BHO and his ilk say that our “invasion” is responsible for the presence of AQ in Iraq as if that was a bad thing! We attracted AQ and other terrorists to Iraq to die and leave their cell phones and laptops for our intel to examine. Rummy will be seen by future historians to have been a military genius, imho.

This is very interesting if true. Where have you heard this?
