Just because we didn't SEE to many terrorists befor 2001 doesn't mean they weren't always there. It is just that only now do we go to fight them.
1. Assumes facts not in evidence. There is no reason to believe that the AQ members in Iraq aren't NEW. After all, the senior leadership (the people that matter) are safely in Pakistan. Why go to Iraq?).

2. Proof that these people were hiding in the closet? Musta been a big closet, and the average member must have joined at age 9.

3. There have always been terrorists. Unfortunately, even the Pentagon agrees that there are more now that there were in April/May of 2003, in AQ alone.

Problem is, you can kill all you like, they'll just make more. If you don't get the planners and the money men, you haven't succeeded at all. Assuming that only 1% of Muslims are extremists, and given a 4+ birthrate, there is literally an endless supply of dumbasses on the ground.

Which is why you always lose a war of attrition in counter-insurgency. Always.
