The Muslims are fighting us in Iraq to keep from fighting us in their

countries. Has anyone ever thought about what Bush keeps on using as a justification for staying in Iraq? We are fighting the enemy in Iraq to keep from having to fight them over here. (of course that makes no sense and is yet another lie). Well, Al-qaeda may be thinking the same thing. They would not be able to weaken our military in any way except to engage us over there and believe me, our military is being weakened daily in resources and spirit. If not for Iraq and Afghanistan Al-qaeda would have to focus on trying to kill our civilians somewhere around the globe. Since we are in Iraq we make it much easier for them focus attention in one spot while they plan and set up there carnage on us and the nations supporting us. Our presence in Iraq and our continuous killing of Iraq women and children is making it much easier for Al-qaeda to recruit and gain future jihadists. It all is the fault of this administration and their greedy neocon backers.
