Letter: Al-Qaida thrives thanks to Bush

Tuesday, June 1, 2004 | 9:59 a.m.

On Wednesday the head of the FBI and our attorney general warned us about imminent attacks by terrorists likely to occur in the United States this summer. The terrorists were named and the public was asked to report if we notice any signs of these men. None of those named are from Iraq.

Isn't it strange that we had al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden on the run more than a year ago, but gave up on finishing the job in order to wage war against Iraq? Now we have terrorists in Iraq, and al-Qaida still thrives in Afghanistan. These mistakes by our government leaders have led to more widespread terror, not less. It's time for new leadership.
