SOPHISTRY!!! THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK

This is a quote from Senetor John Kerry (D, MA) from this article from the AP:


In Washington, Sen. John Kerry, said Bush "is trying to scare the American people into believing that al Qaida is the rationale for continuing the war in Iraq." But Kerry said Bush presented no new evidence to back that up, and added: "The president is picking the wrong rationale for this war. Al-Qaida is not the principal killer of American forces in Iraq."

The Dems now say al-Qaida was never in Iraq prior to 9/11 and because of that there was no justification for going to war (never mind the fact that the House and Senate voted overwhelmingly for the “Use of Force in Iraq”). Lets assume for one second Kerry and the other Dems are right (and their not); wouldn’t the fact that al-Quida is now in Iraq justify being there? Isn't that the justification they wanted? Doesn’t that mean Iraq is of some importance since al-Qaida is in fact fighting us there?

Iraq is the central front in the war on terror. Al-Qaida's number two man, Ayman al-Zawahiri has himself declared so! He has also said, "A US bill calling for troop withdrawal from Iraq is proof of Washington's defeat." Someone in the media should really ask Senate Majority Leader Harry "American Gothic" Reid if he agrees with Zawahiri's comments. My answer is that he does! Mr. Reid is the one who has said "the war is lost" on multiple occasions!

Anyone who says the actions of this Democrat Congress (whose approval rating is around 15% mind you, lower than the Presidents) is not emboldening our enemies is smoking something the Dems wish was legal. Also, what is this “principal killer of American forces in Iraq” line? If al-Qaida isn’t the number one killer, it means some other group is. Again, his justification for leaving can be easily refuted. Well Mr. Kerry, if the largest killer of our military is what you want, then let’s continue to find and kill them all as well! Give victory a chance!
