Probably, but lets not forget that BL declared war under the Clinton Administration. I was thinking mostly about IRAQ. I think AQ is probably content to let something like IRAQ drag on, it gives them a convenient battleground for jihad. I don't think they particularly give a damn about whether that's good for your average Iraqi.
Come to think of it,we dont either,first thing we got back up and running was the Oil ministry, and thats the first place we stationed troops.
And officially the whole hissy fit started under Bush 1, it was the basing rights that we negotiated out of GW1 in Saudi Arabia that put such a hustle in Bin Forgotten's bustle.
But honestly,all Al Queda has to do is mention Abu Ghraib and they pick up 10 members
As to whether or not US cares about what happens to the average Iraqi, that's not something I intend to address. As for getting the oil ministry running, well yeah, I think they wanted IRAQ to have some kind of infrastructure, maybe even some income of its own.
Interesting to note that infrastructure (OIL, water sewers) is one thing that US kept trying to build up, and the insurgency (maybe AQ, maybe not) kept trying to destroy, at least in the early days, I'm not too sure what's happening in that regard now.
The last things we checked on,was running water and re-establishing a viable power grid for the country.
People whove just had their house vaporized by an errant Patriot missile tend to notice those type of things.
Iraq has been nothing if not a huge recruitment tool for Al-Queda
OK, you wanna blame it on the Republicans? Shit, if it wasn't BinLaden it'd be someone else. I ain't saying anything about whether or not the US was justified, but Clinton sent cruise missiles into Sudan and Afghanistan. The suicide bombing of the Marine Barracks in Lebanon, that was under Reagan's watch. Then there was Jimmy Carter and the Iran hostages. I seem to recall during the Nixon days watching processions of white robed dudes on TV, whacking themselves bloody with chains and two by fours, chanting death to the great satan. The Democrats ran the show in 1947. How far back do you want to go?
Oh those Democrats
