Al Qaeda is "on the run", the organization is weaker today than it was before the war.

I agree complelely that we have put al Queda on the run and for that I applaud Bush....although they are re-emerging, along with the Talliban in parts of Afghanistan because we left the country in a vacuum with a weak central government.

Your statement suggests that the fight against Al Qaeda and the war in Iraq are the same, is that what you think? There is no doubt that the war in Iraq has taken a turn for the worse, but I don't know anyone saying that happened because of Al Qaeda.

I dont think the fight against al Queda and the war in Iraq are the same at all other than the fact that we opened Iraq up to al Queda where they previously had a marginal ineffective presence at best (in the no fly zone). I am sorry if my post confused you.
It is Bush who ties the two together and says that Iraq is at the center of the war on terrorism and the chaos in Iraq has worsened because of al Queda (read the press conference above) ..as he does in every speech.
