Gotta Be a Record
Today the President was speaking in Charleston, SC. He used the phrase "Al Queda" over 90 time in a little more than 30 minutes.
It seems the President's strategy is to keep pointing out that there is a group called Al Queda in Mesopotamia in Iraq. Bang that home and maybe the public will think we should stay there. He seems to ignore the fact that Iraq was an Al Queda free zone before the invasion, that AQM has no operational ties to the folks in Pakistan and seems to be an Iraqi creation (or so says our intelligence), and are a supplement to, not a diversion of AQ forces internationally. Moreover, Iraq is just a never ending recruitment video for AQ in every backwater of the Middle East.
