One outside adviser to the White House said the administration expected the debate over Iraq's ties to Al Qaeda to be "a regular feature" of the presidential campaign.

"They feel it's important to their long-term credibility on the issue of the decision to go to war," the adviser said. "It's important because it's part of the overall view that Iraq is part of the war on terror. If you discount the relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda, then you discount the proposition that it's part of the war on terror. If it's not part of the war on terror, then what is it — some cockeyed adventure on the part of George W. Bush?

1. What is terror?

I know that it's terrible, but that's about it.

2. The "war on terror" is nothing but a red herring whose purpose was to get

us in war with Iraq. Dubya had to prove that he could finish something Poppy couldn't. He had to finally prove that he could live up to his name. Now the folks behind the scenes (pulling his strings) had other reasons - namely filling the pockets of the power brokers behind this administration. Follow the money folks - follow the money. I do believe the Bible is speaking utter truth when it says, "the love of money is the root of all evil." Follow the money and you will find the evil behind this so-called war on terror.

5. The war on terror

is a neverending war designed to keep everyone afraid, racist, beholdent to Washington, and has the added bonus of involving atheist in a biblical farse.

6. It's to dominate the mideast using Iraq as a base.

It's about protecting Israel, controlling Iraq's oil, putting bases in Iraq, and giving lots of contracts to WHITE American companies. It preserves the stauts quo.

And they will tell any lie they can to justify it because they feel that the ends justify the means and we will all thank them in 50 years when we are still ruling the world.

To them, we are being ungrateful peaons.
