The new National Intelligence Estimate
The full estimate is classified but its conclusions have become public and it is NOT GOOD. Thanks to Our Dear Embattled Leader's Personal Little War in Iraq the threat of Islamic radicalism and terrorism has grown and continues to grow.
Way to go Georgie! You're doing a heckuva job!
The classified National Intelligence Estimate attributes a more direct role to the Iraq war in fueling radicalism than that presented either in recent White House documents or in a report released Wednesday by the House Intelligence Committee, according to several officials in Washington involved in preparing the assessment or who have read the final document.Let's repeat that conclusion again.
The intelligence estimate, completed in April, is the first formal appraisal of global terrorism by United States intelligence agencies since the Iraq war began, and represents a consensus view of the 16 disparate spy services inside government. Titled “Trends in Global Terrorism: Implications for the United States,’’ it asserts that Islamic radicalism, rather than being in retreat, has metastasized and spread across the globe.
An opening section of the report, “Indicators of the Spread of the Global Jihadist Movement,” cites the Iraq war as a reason for the diffusion of jihad ideology.
The report “says that the Iraq war has made the overall terrorism problem worse,” said one American intelligence official.
“says that the Iraq war has made the overall terrorism problem worse,”And again.
“says that the Iraq war has made the overall terrorism problem worse,”Repetition is good for the memorization of facts and this is a fact that Americans should remember as the elections approach. Along with it should be the concept that the War in Iraq, as opposed to any War on Terra, was totally unnecessary. There were no WMD. There was no connection to the WTC attack. There was no connection to Osama. In fact, Saddam was violently opposed to radical Islam, it was a threat to him, too. And we learn that the use of torture in Iraq is now at levels exceeding that of Saddam. And Our Dear Embattled Leader went to war because he wanted to go to war. And now he has killed as many Americans as Osama. And he has done as much to spread radical Islam as Osama.
Way to go Georgie! You're doing a heckuva job!
