Letter: President has played into bin Laden’s hands

Sunday, Jan. 28, 2007 | 7:31 a.m.

Regarding Elbert W. Lemmon's Jan. 23 letter, "Bin Laden wins if we leave Iraq":

Osama bin Laden has already won. He got the president to attack Iraq when Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Remember Vice President Dick Cheney telling the American public that Saddam had connections with the terrorists and tried to connect him to the 9/11 attacks, when in truth he had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks?

Now, after billions spent on this war, hundreds of thousands of innocent lives lost and freedoms taken away from the American citizens, we haven't even captured bin Laden. Who do you think won?

Iraq has now become a breeding ground for the terrorists. We have united the Middle East and its hatred of the U.S., sending Osama thousands of new recruits. I can just see Osama sitting in his cave, smiling and saying: Thank you, Dubya (and your God you say told you to do it), for answering my prayers.

Yes, I'm sorry to say that bin Laden has already won and you can thank this administration.
