Hasn't Al Qaeda been mortally weakened by the defeat of Saddam?

Al qaeda has been weakened, but only because they've been kept busy
shoveling ignorant, uneducated dupes (suicide bombers) and money into
Iraq
to torment the US and the new Iraqi ruling council. You might have
noticed
that they've not accomplished anything in the USA since 9/11, beyond the
ongoing frustration and expense incurred by our gummint.

That's a very interesting point of view. You have manage to sum up, very
succinctly, the arrogance that is generating so much hostility to the Bush
administration.

Your post demonstrates, very clearly, that you place a much lower value
on
the lives of innocent Iraqi people, than you do on innocent Americans.
You
seem to obtain a degree of satisfaction from the fact that your
President's
actions mean that Al Qaeda is active in Iraq.

Shame on you.

Shame on you for making this insipid leap of illogic. Only your extreme
anti-US bias could lead you to such a one-sided conclusion.

You sarcastically asked if al qaeda had been weakened since the fall of
Saddam. I gave reasons why the organization had been weakened, but made no
morality judgments whatsoever toward the innocents being slaughtered in Iraq
vs. those in the US. Al qaeda's prime target is and has been the US and its
citizens, by its own admission repeatedly. Beyond attacking US soldiers and
US contractors in Iraq, it has been ineffective in that regard. That
translates to weakened. Now, if you'd care to discuss my feelings toward
ANY needless victims of al qaeda, including OTHER coalition soldiers,
civilians of OTHER countries, and the innocent Iraqis you mentioned, that's
another matter entirely.

And shame on you for attempting to place blame for terrorism on the US or
anyone other than Islamic extremists.
