This wouldn't even be an issue if there weren't a hell of a lot of bad guys in prison.

And we wouldn't have to funnel hundreds of billions of dollars and tens of thousands of soldiers into Iraq to keep it from becoming a terrorist breeder state if we had acted in a reasoned responsible way.

"There are news releases every day about insurgents captured and booby-traps discovered and disarmed. It's estimated right now that for every IED attack, one is prevented or intercepted."

And how many IEDs would be prevented if we hadn't undertaken this fools errand?

Brilliant, Tom. With patriots like you shooting us in the foot, who needs Al Qaeda?
