I keep saying this, but you don't seem to get it so I'll try again. They, reasonably, don't see the invasion of Iraq as part of the war on terror, but as a diversion from it. Hussein was not supporting Al Qaeda. They were and are with us in Afghanistan, where we had a strong coalition. We fractured that coalition when we decided to go after Iraq, and we set ourselves up for the sort of problem we have now -- a direct consequence of Bush's approach to building a coalition.
