Me? Prescient???
one of the brilliant geo-political minds of our times, I ain’t
WaTi: The war in Iraq is increasingly looking more like a showdown with Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda followers than a battle primarily against Saddam Hussein loyalists.
The shift is making the fight a focal point of the U.S. global war against Islamic terrorists and one that might dictate whether the U.S. wins or loses, said a senior official and an outside expert.
"If they fail in Iraq, Osama and his whole crew are finished,” said retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney, a military author and analyst. ..."In the Muslim world and extremist world, this fight for Iraq is their key battle,” said Gen. McInerney. “If they lose it, they lose the war. And so the imams are inciting young people, not particular well-educated, to head to Iraq. Most are going through Syria via Damascus.
"This is why Iraq is such a fundamental part of the global war on terrorism. When we finally defeat Muslim extremists, it will be the battle in Iraq that defeats them."
Now, this is what *I* heard was the reason for going to Iraq in the first place—was I trippin’? Was I prescient? Was I simply paying attention?
ThanQ! Ace

It’s kinda like after Bush’s speech on the axis of evil when the libs went nuts and now the cries from the very same people to do something about Iran and N. Korea.
