The country is likely at far greater risk.

Look towards Israel as an example.
Though Israel has secured their airlines
and we should emulate them there are plenty of targets of 
opportunity here and locally available materials with which to 
cause destruction and terror.

We've recruited for Al-Qaeda, they weren't in Saddam controlled Iraq
before but they are now :-(
Al - Qaeda's making a comeback in Afganistan too.
Terrorists are crossing the borders of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan,
Syria other nations entering Iraq to wage war against the 
occupation forces.

And te last poll I saw _still_ showed 69 percent of American's think 
Iraq was involved in the 9-11 attacks despite the fact there's 
absolutely no evidence for it.
Now Saudi Arabia is another matter...

Someone in another echo pointed out Saudi Arabia was linked to 9-11,
their oil infrastructure is intact unlike Iraq's so
U.S. dollars need not hemmorage into a lost cause should we
have attacked the Saudis. 

Perhaps George got the wrong country?
Perhaps Bush family ties to Saudi oil influenced George's
choices too?
