the same as the Al Qaida that were responsible for 911.
They are not the same. He is still trying to use the 911-Iraq connection card. How sad.
Al Qaida in Iraq didn't emerge until 2004. While it is inspired by Osama bin Laden's violent ideology, there's no evidence that the Iraq organization is under the control of the terrorist leader or his top aides, who are believed to be hiding in tribal regions of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan.
Moreover, the two groups have been divided over tactics and strategy
While U.S. intelligence and military officials view al Qaida in Iraq as a serious threat, they say the main source of violence and instability is an ongoing contest for power between majority Shiites and Sunnis, who dominated Saddam Hussein's regime.
Bush must be listening to Rush Limbaugh

It is the only way he knows to keep what dwindling support he has around him.
Over 90% of the violence that is taking place in Iraq is sectarian and this is by the US militaries own estimates. What he wants the American populace to believe is that Al Qaeda is the problem not his boneheaded blunder into a country that did not attack us and his administrations' inherent, abysmal mismanagement of this disaster .
what is scary is that he still insists on staying the course.
It is a sign of insanity- doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Al-Qaeda is Al-Qaeda no matter where they are. Even if they are in the US they are still the same terrorist organization and must be taken out. When a doctor starts surgery to remove cancer, he doesn't remove the part that is easiest to get, he tries to remove all of it no matter where it is. You must be a kid to not be able to see ahead like that. Here's another scenario, say a man murders 50 people by stabbing them with his right hand. Do you sentence his hand or do you sentence him all together.
Look kid you need to grow up and learn a bit before saying really stupid things like that.

You must be watching MSNBC.
This ignorant stance on terrorism will destroy America. Al Quaida did not need to be in Iraq, because Saddam was a terrorist in his own right. Since Al Quaida and Saddam are playing from the same deck of cards they didn't need to infiltrate each other.

Excuse me, sir, but Al Qaeda in Iraq is the official title of the terrorist group in Iraq. That is what they call themselves. What I want to know is why so many Americans instist that the terrorists are protecting an Iraqi "homeland" when the vast majority of the terrorists are foreign fighters? Also why are so many Americans like you cheer leading for the terrorists? Do you hate Bush so much that you want your nation defeated? Is an American defeat worth it as long as Democrats get elected?

Because they are there, NOW.
I don't care when they got there.
They want to kill Americans.
I don't want to give them a country.
I find it very interesting how many on the left always claim to want to fight al-Qaeda, and now want to further limit our ability to fight the bad guys. I think a lot of the left just doesn't want us to fight, period. I know many say that they would have supported a fight in Afghanistan only, but there was plenty of dissent even during the first weeks of that operation - look back and see. I seem to always hear what they would, or could, support instead - but never what they DO support. Fight terror by protecting the homeland - but don't intercept enemy communications. Fight al-Qaeda in Iraq, but not the sectarian violance - only al-Qaeda in Iraq is not really al-Qaeda. It's tiresome.
Bush has made mistakes, but has done much better than any Democrat would have. The left has little, if any, credibility left.

He has to say something when in front of the cameras and answering (dodging) questions. Things are bad in Iraq and not improving. What else could he actually say, the truth?
He has said this about Al Qaida from the start.
Its like Bart Simpson, "That's my story and I'm sticking to it".
Besides, his true followers will still believe it. And don't forget, there are still a lot of people who believe Iraq is behind 911. Tell a lie often enuf and a lot of people will believe it.

Virtually every major grouping within the overall AQ operates separately. However, they still call themselves AQ. That is true regardless of whether they are operating out of the Phillipines, Somalia, Iraq, Pakistan, Indonesia, etc.

So what is the point? They are there, you don't seem to deny it. They will organize and become a bigger threat if we leave them alone. I just don't see the importance of what you are trying to say. They still want to kill you.
