Mike, I hate to say it, but you bought the party line to the max.
Iraq and terrorism are TWO DIFFERENT SUBJECTS! The only links that exist are those that have been created by those very suspect reports that Osama's guys might have met with someone inside Iraqi government once. Osama is on record calling Saddam an infidel. I don't think they were working together on much of anything.
Afghanistan and Iraq are two different battles, for two different reasons. One was to get rid of a government that harboured terrorists OPENLY (the ones who claimed responsibility for 9-11), and the other to get rid of a guy who had pissed of the boy's daddy 10 years ago. the WMD thing has pretty much been proven to be a pack of lies, misleading information, and Saddam's own bravado. THERE ARE NO WEAPONS. If there were weapons, the US would have them by now.
Don't get tricked by the boy and his handlers... two wars, two different subjects, linked only by his words.

Alex your a idiot. You are so consumed with the fact that I am member of a party. You are wrong!
Show me in "party literature" where it says the US invaded Iraq for geo-political purposes having nothing to do with terrorism. It was about OIL, and stability. Nothing more, nothing less. The Republican party from what I read are sticking to the guns of WMD ( which I have no doubt Saddam had or thought he had some), and getting rid of a ruthless dictator.
To me, I don't care about ruthless dictators - as long as they sell oil cheaply, and do not interfere with US National Interest.
I am about REALITY.... Countries must do what they must to defend there National Interest.
