In fact, a U.S. Army War College report said that the war in Iraq has
been a diversion that has drained key resources from the more imminent
War on Terror. USA Today reported that "in 2002, troops from the 5th
Special Forces Group who specialize in the Middle East were pulled out
of the hunt for Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan to prepare for their
next assignment: Iraq." Sen. Bob Graham (D-FL) confirmed this, noting
in February of 2002; a senior military commander told him "We are
moving military and intelligence personnel and resources out of
Afghanistan to get ready for a future war in Iraq."



Afghanistan? Why should we worry about Afghanistan? :)

Just had this vision of Krowsie.
