Luke, My respects to your friend Robert. I pray that he makes it home safe. But, if we had not invaded Iraq we would have more resources on the war with terror. Here part of John Kerry's Speech about the truth about Iraq. I think he is right on the mark.

Here is another fact. The Senate Armed Services Committee defied your neocon ideals on Thursday, with four Republicans joining Democrats in approving a plan for the trial and interrogation of terrorism suspects that the White House has rejected as unacceptable.

Unfortunetely we cannot run away from our responsibilities. But, George Bush's policy has been disastrous. According to the latest ­Time poll, not only does the public no longer believe there's a link between 9/11 and Iraq, but in fact, the public feels the Iraq War has hurt the war on terrorism.[Time, 9/5/06] George Bush and the Republican-led Congress have blocked efforts to enact the bi-partisan 9/11 recommendations and fund critical programs to protect America. Any intelligent American citizen knows this. The problem is that the majority of this country is cram packed full of morons and couch commandos that believe we are at war with everybody. When will Republicans wake from their ignorant slumber? Who knows.... Maybe we should start going for the dumb redneck vote?

Well your party deserves a failing grade in its policy. Five years after 9/11, the Bush Administration and Republicans in Congress have not done enough to keep our country safe. Read what the 9/11 Commission had to say. 2004: Bush And GOP Leaders Promised Implementation Of 9/11 Commission Recommendations. "'...President Bush is committing his administration to relying on the recommendations of the Sept. 11 commission in waging the war on terrorism... "The 9/11 commission's recommendations will help guide our efforts," said the president. "We will carefully examine all the commission's ideas on how we can improve our ongoing efforts to protect America and to prevent another attack." ...Late Friday, House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., who had expressed doubt that lawmakers would have time to consider a sweeping intelligence overhaul this year, said he and Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, would also direct House committees to hold hearings in August and make recommendations for legislation in September." [msnbc.com, 7/24/04] 2006: Bush And Republican Congress Given Failing Grades By 9/11 Commission For Refusal To Implement Recommendations. "The federal government received failing and mediocre grades yesterday from the former Sept. 11 commission, whose members said in a final report that the Bush administration and Congress have balked at enacting numerous reforms that could save American lives and prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. The 10-member bipartisan panel -- whose book-length report about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks became a surprise bestseller -- issued a "report card" that included 5 F's, 12 D's and two 'incompletes' in categories including airline passenger screening and improving first responders' communication system."
