A Reminder Of Why We're In Iraq

Here is an excellent quote reminding us of why we're in Iraq:

You know, as well as I, that Saddam Hussein launched scud missiles at Israel.
You know that he operated rape rooms and torture chambers.
You know that he launched chemical weapons at his own people.
You know that he housed terrorists as his guests in Iraq – terrorists such as Abu Nidal, who murdered Leon Klinghoffer on the Achille Lauro cruise ship.
You know that Saddam paid a bounty of $25,000 to the families of Palestinian homicide bombers.
You know that he was a threat to the stability of the entire region.
You also know that there were strong links between Saddam’s Iraq and Al Qaeda (for a new comprehensive summary of the latest evidence, check out www.HusseinAndTerror.com).

At a time when America seems to be losing its will to fight, we have to remember that there are people in this world who want us, and Israel, to simply be dead, and how all of it- Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere- is linked together.

If we fail to finish what we have started, we will have truly let the people of Afghanistan and Iraq down.
