    I doubt its validity because why would small groups of terrorists migrate into a hot zone filled with an entire armed force ready to fire on them? That goes against their cowardice nature of striking the unarmed and unprepared.

    On Boyles, meh. It would only affect me if his replacement is inadequate. I am sure he will find work.
    From a Bush Speech in 2005 - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...113000667.html - edited to say - I read about this part of the strategy some time ago, this speech is just the first hit I came across when I googled Iraq strategy.

    This is an enemy without conscience, and they cannot be appeased. If we're not fighting and destroying this enemy in Iraq, they would not be idle. They would be plotting and killing Americans across the world and within our own borders. By fighting these terrorists in Iraq, Americans in uniform are defeating a direct threat to the American people.
    You make an excellent point about the cowardice of the terrorists, OTOH it was cheaper for terrorist leaders to send them a couple hundred miles instead of several thousand miles. Finances always play a role.
