This is exactly what Bush seems to have wanted though. To "fight 'them' over there instead of over here". He WANTED to smack the hornet's nest. I mean, there have been many many quotes here of what Bush knew was gonna happen from when Clinton was in office. He KNEW that the place was extremely dangerous and exactly what would happen when we tried to actually go in and hold the place, but that didn't seem to stop him when he got the office. Give em hell tho if a Democrat thought about attempting this war.
