Don't forget, though, that Dubya and his cronies practically blackmailed Spain into supporting them. They even sent CIA operatives to spy on the Spanish government before the Iraq invasion.

Oh, I'm convinced that we "disrupted" them... but we sure didn't stop them.
We just shook the hornet's nest and got them all nice and pissed off, and now they're even more determined to bring us down than ever before.

He looked so presidential in that flight suit and so masculine.

To even come up with an exit strategy would threaten his manhood.

AND - anyone in the WH could have done the same thing. Like Bill Naher says "who hard was it to point at Afganistan on a map and say destroy this" So, in theory W did not do anything anyone else would not have done. Yet, the far left remains unwilling to see the facts as they are
He gave al-Qaeda two months to evacuate before he went in there to plant poppy seeds!

The flightsuit incident was one of Rove's mistakes. Even though I do not like him, i will admit he does not make many. I think he thought the country would be split as it is now and the vision of the flight suit therefore could not hurt W. I think W's base, which is 99.9 % od those voting for him still think that was a GREAT thing to do. Similarly, the 99.9% of the D base HATED W before that and that pic did not sway them one way or the other. I bet Rove is PISSED he cannot use that in the ads for the 04 race. Oh well, you live by the sword . . . .

True, although W is not planting them. But Stay on target, what does that have to do with disproving my point that removing the Taliban and disrupting the Al-Q base of operations significantly weakened Al-Q.

He has used them in ads.

Now we're actually endorsing them by establishing diplomatic relations with a known terrorist- Qadaffi.
