In Iraq, Boehner draws link to 9/11

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), in a conference call from Iraq, told reporters Wednesday that it is fair to draw a link from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to the current fight in Iraq because of the continued presence of al Qaeda and other Islamic extremists in the country.

“If you look at where 9/11 came from, it clearly was from al Qaeda, when you look at the violence in Iraq, it’s from al Qaeda radical jihadists,” Boehner said.

The minority leader is leading a congressional delegation of six members that departed for Iraq following the testimony from Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker on the situation there.

Two members of the delegation, Republican Reps. Pete Hoekstra (Mich.) and Pete King (N.Y.), joined Boehner on the conference call and agreed with his assessment.

“There is a strong consensus that testimony was on target,” said King, the ranking member on the Homeland Security Committee.

Boehner said that in early meetings with a dozen military and diplomatic officers, it was evident to the lawmakers that progress is being made in some of the more troubled regions in Iraq and that the last three months of the president’s troop surge have yielded many successes.

1. huh?

Al Quaida in Iraq is nothing more than a start up franchise. It is there only because of the invasion by the USA.

I hear there may be new Al Quaida franchises opening up in Iran soon, too.
