There was no Al Qaida presence in Iraq until we created the power vacuum that allowed them to move in.
I don’t expect that lesson to be taken by the people behind the original calls for Regime Change.
Yep. If anything we did them a favor removing Saddam. Saddam was many things, but a religious nut was not one of them (just a plain, secular nut). An AQ hated him for that.
