Born at the Crest of the Empire

Why are we fighting them over there if they don't want to fight us over here....

As this skewers the remaining prowar justification, I have to ask why it's back on page A20.
Al-Qaeda in Iraq is the United States' most formidable enemy in that country. But unlike Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda organization in Pakistan, U.S. intelligence officials and outside experts believe, the Iraqi branch poses little danger to the security of the U.S. homeland.....

AQI's new membership and the allied insurgents care far more about what happens within Iraq than they do about bin Laden's plans for an Islamic empire, government and outside experts said. That is likely to remain the case whether U.S. forces stay or leave, they added.

Seems like a pretty major point to me.....
