Iraq: Job #1 in global war on Islamofascism

The Left's premise is that military action against Iraq was extra-curricular activity on the part of the U.S. While it may be true that Iraq wasn't the only threat to civilization or even the greatest threat, it should be clear that it was a threat. It was simply the smallest task of those before us, but I would argue that it may have become the central task because of how, as detailed in a Time Mag. report, Islamofascists have chosen it as their proverbial hill to die on. I can't remember who was saying this recently (may have been a guest on Hannity), but most Americans when asked "do you agree with the President's handling of the GWOT?" say "no" but mean that he should be more aggressive in waging it.
