Politics and Terror - I hate to mix them.

This article is getting alot of blog play, Bush seeks political gains from foiled plot (last few paragraphs.) But for once, the Democrats are responding, US Democrats say plot shows Iraq war a diversion. Against the new perception of chaos and failure in the Iraq war and Israel/Lebanon, I think the politics of this may play out differently this time.

Can you imagine if someone actually asked the president to explain how invading Iraq helped the war on terror?

The White House has adopted a very clever deception on this question. The answer given is we can't leave now or Iraq will devolve into a terrorist safe haven.

But that's not the question asked. The question is, "How did invading Iraq in the first place help the war on terror?"
