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."

Our misadventures in Afghanistan are as much to blame for the Muslim
world hating us as the cluster **** in Iraq.

When we told the world there was an acceptable number of innocents we
could kill in our search for one suspected terrorist it pretty much
sealed our reputation as terrorists ourselves.

BTW Graham hasn't been our senator for almost 4 years so this is
pretty old news.

Yup, we live in a ****ty country all right.

The Muslim world hated us well before either Iraq or Afghanistan.

Maybe you should just go to Canada?
