Gramps - If you read the article CLOSELY, you'll see that in the opinion of the think tank, America being distracted by the Iraqi conflict IS essentially being passive in our stance against Al-Queida. The more troops and money we have tied up in Iraq... the LESS we can devote to the ORIGINAL purpose of this "War on terror"... The capture and/or killing of Osama Bin Laden and the eradication Al-Queida and other terrorist organizations bent on doing harm to the United States.

I know... I know... that selective comprehension disorder that you suffer from kinda got the best of ya on this one... didn't it? ;\) :p
