Iraq had terrorists-- not necessarily Al Qaeda terrorists

Submitted by Wallace Edward Brand (United States), Dec 11, 2009 at 07:52

The left faults Bush because the right did not show a link between Saddam Hussein and Al Queda. But Al Qaeda is but one of the many offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood committed to terror. There were many terrorists in Iraq which justified the US concern that the product of Iraq's undisputed quest for weapons of mass destruction could fall into terrorist hands. See, Feith, "War and Decision".
