"...to hear Gore say that Iraq was a terrorist center, and a terrorist threat, after six years of anti-war people telling us that there is no Iraq/terrorism connection"....


If this goes on for 20 years, it will still be impossible to get some people to keep straight the difference between Saddam being a bad guy who didn't like us and who 'might' try to hurt us if he had the chance....and the Al Qaeda group run by Bin Laden who DID hurt us. Iraq was not a "terrorist center" back then, it was a country that had bad leadership and needed watching- mostly to see what they were doing to others in the region and to its own citizens!!!!

Get it clear...there was almost NO connection or conversation between Iraq & Al Qaeda before 2001!....NOW we have Al Qaeda folks inside Iraq, where they see an opportunity to attack us...because we came in and GAVE them easy targets and excuses!!

Bush...and others...are trying to make the 'terrorist' connection retroactive to justify their blunder!
