from iraq with love

before 9/11, iraq was pointed to as a central battleground in the war against terror, that al-qaeda was linked with saddam. well, we now know there was no such link, but iraq is definitely now a front in the war against terror. the only thing is, the bush administration made it a front as a result of the iraq invasion. it's like making yourself do extra work when you don't need to. now, it appears al-qaeda has taken a decent hold in iraq. congratulations, george bush, you got your wish: iraq is a haven for terrorists.

here, olbermann's interview touches on the fact that iraq was made a front in the war against terror, and how war in the middle east creates "strange bedfellows."
