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.

9/11 and Iraq are COMPLETELY related.

You'd think the Muslims bombing innocents in Turkey would have proven to Liberals America-Haters that Islamic Fascists really SHOULD be feared.

[b]Or[/b] perhaps the multiple bombings by Muslims in Turkey, of other Muslims.

[b]OR[/b] the attempt just weeks ago to take over planes in London and kill thousands of passengers.

[b]OR[/b] the kidnapping of the FOXNews reporters in Gaza.

[b]Or[/b] the initiation of a new war by Hezbollah in Lebanon.

[b]Or[/b] the fake propaganda being Photoshopped by the Followers of Allah.

[b]Or[/b] the millions of dollars Hezbollah is countrfeiting to pay for terror.

[b]Or[/b] the bombings of Indian trains by Muslims a few months ago.

[b]Or[/b] the Madrid train bombings.

[b]Or[/b] the Bali bombings.

[b]Or[/b] the Muslim terrorists who kidnapped schoolchildren in Chechnia.

[b]Or[/b] the fanatical Iranian Muslims who want to build nuclear weapons to start armegheddon.

[b]Or[/b] the London subway bombings.

[b]Or[/b] the al-Queda terror cell in Florida.

[b]Or[/b] the terror cells busted in Canada.

[b]Or[/b] the Muslim woman found smuggling explosive liquids.

[b]Or[/b] the Muslims expanding their power in Africa, raping and spreading AIDS.

[b]Or[/b] the Muslims in Kashmir, assasinating members of the India Parliament.

"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
