In various sparring sessions over the war in Iraq, I notice that many Liberals flatly assert that Iraq is a distraction from the GWOT (that is, if they’re generously acknowledging that the war against Islamists requires more than strict airport screening.) I’ve asserted that Iraq was simply the next stage in the GWOT, so the various arguments marshalled for taking this step are more persuasive collectively than they are individually.
But this article (here) by Stephen F. Hayes of The Weekly Standard is instructive on the issue of whether Iraq is a distraction from the purported common objective of effectively waging the GWOT. In fact, the connections between Saddam’s Iraq and Jihadists (even Al Qaeda) is pretty clear.
Oh, and remember, disagreeing with a Liberal doesn’t constitute a war crime.
