On what basis do you make this claim?
Given that one of Al-Qaeda's primary recruiting tools was US presence in
the "Holy Land" of Saudi Arabia and the direct and overt US support for the
repressive Saudi regime, and given that the liberation of 38million Iraqis
has permitted the withdrawal of US troops from the "Holy Land" and the end
of direct and overt support for the Saudi regime - isn't it far more likely
that the liberation of Iraq has produced the conditions for at the very
least - fewer recruits of foot soldiers for Iraq?

Feel free to give your opinion to the 3rd Infantry Troops that just found
out they aren't coming home after a year's deployment in what you term
"peacetime."
