Via Kevin Drum:

Look at this map from the US State Department, posted in November 2001. It shows in red every country in which Al Qaeda had been known to operate. It even includes the United States. Guess what country is not on the list, the most prominent nation in the Middle East in which they did not operate? You guessed it – Iraq.

    That’s right — all the countries listed were the targets of Al Qaeda — not merely places they operated from — how perceptive you are!

    Like Libya… Sudan… etc.

    Nice try there.
