Jordan the great

I'd like to meet:

The United States is at war.
It is a war we neither wanted, nor started. In fact, we didn't even notice when it was declared. On Feb. 23, 1998, Osama bin Laden declared war on the United States. In his infamous fatwah, he says:
"The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies – civilians and military – is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque [in Jerusalem] and the holy mosque from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim."

George Bush did not start this war; Osama bin Laden did – while Bill Clinton was president. It will not end when American troops leave Iraq. It will end only when the Islamic fanatics can no longer find people who are willing to blow themselves to oblivion in a misguided quest for martyrdom.

The fight in Iraq is more than a conflict in one country, it is part of a larger struggle against extremism that is unfolding across the broader Middle East. The extremists are fighting to take control of Iraq so they can establish it as a base from which to overthrow moderate governments in the region, and plan new attacks on the American people. If we fail in Iraq, the enemy will follow us home. Their success in Iraq would bring danger to America, and that is why America must prevail in Iraq.
