Bringing Out the Big Guns

President Bush, with his entire 29% approval standing behind him, weighed in on Sen. Obama's al Qaeda comments.

"That's an interesting comment," Bush said at press conference Thursday. "'If al Qaeda is securing an al Qaeda base — then yes?' Well, that's exactly what they've been trying to do for the past four years…. That's one of the challenges we face, is denying al Qaeda a safe haven anywhere."

Notice he says for the past four years. He's actually correct in that regard because five years ago when we invaded there was no al Qaeda any where near Iraq. If the challenge we face is denying al Qaeda a safe haven invading Iraq didn't do a very good job of it. And it's still very doubtful that AQI has any actual ties to bin Laden. Not to mention the other country we invaded and are still occupying, Afghanistan, still has actual al Qaeda bases and operates relatively at will.
