KEENE, N.H. (AP) - While attention continues to focus on Iraq with Tuesday's deadly bombing at the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, presidential hopeful Sen. Bob Graham said Americans are ignoring a greater danger as terrorists train in Syria and Lebanon.
The distraction provided by Iraq has "allowed Osama bin Forgotten to get up off the mat," the Florida senator warned an audience at Keene State College. Graham campaigned Tuesday in Hanover, Claremont and Keene.

America paid too little attention to the terrorist training camps in Afghanistan, which intelligence reports suggest trained an estimated 70,000 to 120,000 terrorists, he said. Advanced terrorist training camps continue to operate in Syria and Lebanon, he said.

"We are making exactly the same mistake today as we did in the 1990's," he said. In the process, "we're allowing an even better prepared terrorist." (snip/...)
