Prime Minister al-Maliki, like a good little boy, said on Monday, “Those “who destroyed the towers of the (World) Trade Center are the same as those who blew up the (Golden Mosque) in Samarra and carried out the bombings of hotels in Jordan and Algeria.” What he didn’t say is this wouldn’t have happened if we hadn’t invaded Iraq to begin with.
