AL QAEDA ON THE MARCH:

So, a caller to the Diane Rehm Show today was referring to the war with Iraq as a "distraction", that the Administration wants to use so we won't notice that nothing's been done about al Qaeda. Here, on the other hand, are consecutive headlines from today's Chicago Sun-Times:

Arafat to bin Laden: Don't link us

Well, as long as we're all linking, here's something from Debka on the issue. (Warning: Debka's pro-Israel point of view may be offensive to some.)

The link between Iraq and Al-Qaeda goes back over 10 years. Read this month's Vanity Fair. Why do people keep calling the Iraq issue a distraction?

I suppose because they would prefer to be distracted.
