Another take on Bush's Thanksgiving visit

I'm interested to hear people's reactions to this article: http://english.pravda.ru/mailbox/22/...ushInIraq.html


Excerpt:
Quote:
According to Bush, the U.S. military is defeat terrorists in Iraq, "so that we don't have to face to face them in our own country." In the next breath, he said that they were, "defeating Saddam's henchmen." Conflating the al Qaeda terrorists responsible for the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon with the supporters of Saddam Hussein appears an all too obvious effort to exploit the American public's weak grasp of international affairs. Baathist Iraq was not home to al Qaeda terrorists. If al Qaeda is now operating in Iraq, it is because a chaotic U.S. occupation made the country a suitable environment.
