Propagandizing the troops continues...
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A17151-2003Nov27.html

Bush surprised 600 soldiers of the 1st Armored Division and the 82nd Airborne Division attending a Thanksgiving celebration at the Bob Hope Dining Facility on the makeshift military base at Baghdad International Airport, telling them they "are defeating the terrorists here in Iraq so we don't have to face them in our own country.

...the logic of "better to fight the terrorists in Iraq than at home"
pre-supposes that Iraq was the haven for Al-Qaeda - which it weren't and is not. It also assumes that every "terrorist" will gravitate to Iraq simply because American forces are there - Tell that to Turkey. And just one more attack on American soil will disprove this theory -what we don't know is how many potential attacks the FBI has foiled since the invasion of Iraq - which would also disprove the theory that a war in Iraq prevents an attack at home.
