The money and many of the foot soldiers behind Islamic fascism comes from Saudi Arabia. The brain power behind Islamic fascism comes from Egypt. Afghanistan was simply a place where the money and brain power got connected with the foot soldiers. The brilliance behind the Iraq War was we chose the venue for fighting the Islamic fascists. The bad guys had to come to our killing area where we were prepared for them. The main reason why the moonbats are beneath contempt is their implicit belief that we should be negotiating with Islamic fascists on the streets of New York while innocent Americans are being slaughtered.
