Even if you want to claim the al Quaeda members went there after we arrived, isn't it better to have them there than in the US?
By the way, we've neutralized 75% of its members.

Odd? Not at all. They're there because there are a shitload of reporters there with a) heads to be removed and b) cameras to report it (among other nasty things that happen there) to the world. Not to mention US soldiers, whom I am sure they'd also love to get ahold of.
And about me "claiming" that they went there after we arrived, can you really be serious? You really think they were roaming about Iraq doing these things before the US arrived? Hussein and AQ had no more connection than Bush and AQ. That's been established already. bin Laden hated Hussein for him bringing US troops to the Gulf and Saudi Arabia (you know, his homeland) back in the first Gulf War.
And like it was mentioned before, how exactly did you come across the 75% figure? And again, knowing that would necessitate knowing the number of AQ in total. I find it odd that that information would be known to anyone, AQ included. That's not the way terrorists organizations work.
