Let me be as blunt and direct with the American people as I can be... The invasion of Iraq was a profound diversion from the battle against our greatest enemy -- al Qaeda --which killed more than 3,000 people on 9/11 and which still plots our destruction today. And there's just no question about it: The president's misjudgment, miscalculation and mismanagement of the war in Iraq all made the war on terror harder to win. Iraq is now what it was not before the war -- a haven for terrorists. George Bush made Saddam Hussein the priority. I would have made Osama bin Laden the priority. As president, I will finish the job in Iraq and refocus our energies on the real war on terror.
