...for terrorists the world over. What better propaganda tool than to exploit this administrations lies and phony justifications around a "pre-emptive" war that turns out to have been completely unnecessary? Saddam Hussein's regime had no links to terrorist groups prior to the U.S. invasion, but ironically enough our continued occupation and the resultant resentment on the part of the Arab world has turned out to be a rallying point and recruitment tool that far exceeded what Al-Quaida or any other terrorist group could have accomplished on their own. Thanks Mr. Cheney -- your administration's misguided actions have made the world a far more dangerous place, at a cost of several thousand American and Iraqi lives, losing ground to the Taliban in Afghanistan, and several hundred billion dollars squandered in Iraq that could have been better spent on port security and other homeland defenses.
