No Hal, the idea behind invading Iraq was never to stop a repeat of 9/11. Didn't you see the UN hearings? It was to go after WMD. Read the 9/11 report, there were NO ties to Iraq. Iraq was never a threat to us. The terrorists responsible for 9/11 were (and still are) in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But we don't have enough troops any longer to go after them, because we are in Iraq, playing hopscotch the IUD between the Suni's and the Shiites civil war. At least if your going to spew your nonsense, get educated on the subject. Last I looked Bin Laden was not apprehended.
