John Kerry Sees Terror Threat as another Reason to Abandon its Fight against Terrorists in Iraq
                Sen. John Kerry stated yesterday that the successful breakup of a massive terrorist plot by Pakistani and British intelligence units provided more evidence that the U.S. should abandon its fight against terrorists in Iraq and come home.
               "This is”, he stated, “a stark reminder that the war on terrorism is global, and extends far beyond Iraq to our very shores. Terrorism is the biggest threat to Americans' security, and this event exposes the misleading myth that we are fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here. In fact, the war in Iraq has become a dangerous distraction, and a profound drain on our financial and military resources.”
               Kerry’s statement left many wondering how a successful bust of an Al Qaeda terrorist operation overseas before it could be executed could be construed as a reason for bringing more of our military and intelligence resources back home, rather than have them abroad where they can find international terrorists before they can come to the U.S. and cause harm.
