WASHINGTON - President Bush said Tuesday he was disappointed in "flawed intelligence" before the Iraq war and was concerned that if a Democrat wins the presidency in November and withdrew troops prematurely it could "eventually lead to another attack on the United States."

I find it amazing that some people believe that line of thinking. I'm even more stunned when I hear people actually repeat it in discussion about the war.
"If we bring our troops home, the terrorists will follow us home and attack us."
Why? If "the terrorists" have the resources and capability to attack now, and they allegedly hate us so much that they would attack us anytime, WHY are they NOT attacking us NOW?
There is nothing about what we are doing in Iraq that is hindering their ability to attack in other regions of the world.
It makes absolutely no sense. People just take what ever their precious leader says as the absolute truth and they repeat it as if they have some great knowledge as to the justifications and reasons for the war and its continuation.

Well, there has not been another attack on the US since 911 so I think GW has been doing his job. I dont believe in all the conspiracys floating arouind about an inside job. I just heard on the radio that hamas is rooting for obama. I feel sorry for the country a new attack may be traced to.

I find myself wondering why dubya has intelligence agencies - for sure, none of it rubbed off on him.

Can you provide proof that there have been thwarted attacks? I'm not talking about news articles. I'm talking about actual proof.
