Asked about war in Iraq
"This war was a wrong decision," Ted Strickland said. "I think we need to change course."
George W. Bush might not be in office if not for Ken Blackwell's support, Strickland said.
But Blackwell reminded his TV audience that we are approaching the five-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"We know that this is a new world. We know that the threat is real," Blackwell said.
"We ought to fight terror. But the fact is we chose the wrong war," Strickland responded. "We're losing soldiers every day."
The way the president is conducting the war is not smart, Strickland said.

Unless you watch fox news, you know that the horrible tragedy of 911 HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IRAQ
while everyone gets all crazy - about Iraq - the Saudis are richer than before - and their barely knew him relative and countryman - Osama - is trotting around - seen through the opium haze - of our good friends - who have no idea where he is

Get your head out of your donkey, Liberal.

"Of particular concern has been the conflation of al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein's Iraq as a
single, undifferentiated terrorist threat. This was a strategic error of the first order because it
ignored critical differences between the two in character, threat level and susceptibility to U.S.
deterrence and military action. The result has been an unnecessary preventive war of choice
against a deterred Iraq that has created a new front in the Middle East for Islamic terrorism and
diverted attention and resources away from securing the American homeland against further
assault by an undeterrable al-Qaeda.” - Strategic Studies Institute of the Army War College
Islamic extremists are exploiting the Iraqi conflict to recruit new anti-U.S. jihadists. These
jihadists who survive will leave Iraq experienced and focused on acts of urban terrorism. They represent a potential pool of contacts to build transnational terrorist cells, groups and
networks in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other countries. -Porter Goss, CIA Director
