Total BS!

First: plural, please. Pre-emptive strikes.

Second: not pre-emptive, but first-strike. Nobody threatened al Quaeda, because almost nobody knew that it was there, and what it was.

Like in war of aggression, it was terror of aggression. Al Quaeda did not launch their war because they wanted to rescue poor old Arabia from foreign occupation back then.
