WRT the other issue, the fact that OBL and his minions are
pursuing their agenda, which they are, has little to do with
the question as to whether we are effectively pursuing our own
strategic interests in thwarting him. It is my opinion that
the invasion and occupation of Iraq has made our strategic and
tactical situations both much worse than they were beforehand,
and they continue to do so, and this strategic blunder falls
squarely in the laps of Mr. Bush and his minions.
