This notion that we're fighting them in Bagdad so we don't have to fight them in Kabul...is fucking insane.

And like it or not, the abject failure of the Bush administration's unnecessary and illegal war in Iraq which led them to incompetently wage the war in Afghanistan means that the Taliban and al Qaeda still exist and Osama bin laden and Mullah Omar are still at large. You'd think this notion that we're fighting them in Bagdad so we don't have to fight them in Kabul and elsewhere would sound a little bit silly considering that Cheney himself was targeted in Afghanistan just this week, but logic has never been their strong suit.
