Russ Feingold on Should Iraq be the central front in the war on terror?

Iraq is note "the heart and soul" of fight against terror.

From his questioning of Condoleeza Rice:

And I think the secretary of defense was quite right. And I don't see any particular evidence that this problem has been remedied. In fact, if you just listen to the discussion here at this three-hour- some hearing today, there's been actually not a whole lot of discussion about the fight against terror, unless you believe that the Iraq war is the heart and soul of that, which I don't.

And that troubles me. I think we risk losing focus; something I believe happened when we turned the lion's share of our attention to Iraq, devoting many years and billions of dollars and possibly many American lives to ineffective or self-defeating strategies.
