Rosie goes on:

Rosie: It’s interesting. Elisabeth- we shouldn’t be fighting this war because we were not attacked by either of the nations we invaded. 19 Saudis were on those planes and we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq
Elisabeth: Do you think Al Qaeda d you believe Al Qaeda is alive and working and planning in Iraq
Rosie: I think there might be some guy on dialysis in a cave- but I don’t think he is really a threat
***
Apparently Osama Bin Laden is no threat. Why don't we just leave the poor guy alone and let him die in peace? Maybe Rosie should try to interview him for the show before she leaves. She can ask him about his positions on homicide bombers, Israel, democracy, religious freedom, women's rights...
Fighting a war is tricky business because the bad guys often aren’t in their own country. For example, I’m sure the French would have loved it if the war could have been contained in Germany. The problem: the Germans had invaded France. (Invasion meaning in the country for the purpose of taking it over. The U.S. has not "invaded" Iraq or Afghanistan. We have no desire to take over these countries. If we leave either of these countries, their citizens will be begging us to come back.)
If only the terrorists would go back to Iran and Syria and let Iraq rebuild in peace.
Dream on…
