You are absolutely correct... and I get so mad listening, not only to the media, but democrats and republicans, who have no idea what they are talking about.

Terrorists are not suspended in mid-air. It takes the active support of states to provide the cover an organization like Al-Qaeda needs. That is why Saddam needs to be taken out. The WMD is important, and I'm not discounting it... but he is working through and with Al Qaeda... and other organizations.

Hezzbollah doesn't work independent of Islamic Jihad. Nor does Hamas work independent of Al Qaeda. These organizations get political and financial support from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia.

Just follow the trail of the Iranian revolution. See how those groups worked together for the otherthrow of the Shah. See, how Iran works now through Hezzbollah, Islamic Jihad.

What the media wants to do is just separate the entities from each other. If we allow that to happen... then terrorism cannot be defeated. Because Hamas will just absorb the men, supplies, sources of Al Qaeda.

Al Qaeda is one head of a multi-headed snake.

That is another great point that seems totally lost on the media - that terror networks cannot survive unless they have some sort of state support; whether discreet or public. (Hell, even the IRA goes to other countries such as those in the mideast to train.) This fact is completely lost on media. They fail to recognize that the fact that Saddam, the Saudis, Syria, Iranian Mullahs, and other mideast leaders/countries prop up these terror networks and allow them to surive.
