Liar, Liar Iraq on Fire

Its as official as its going to get: The April 2006 National Intelligence Estimate has concluded that The Decider's favorite argument for invading Iraq--the war is making us safer--is hogwash. The occupation of Iraq is clearly motivating the existing jihadist movement and enlarging it. The 16 intelligence agencies making the report concluded:

"..activists defining themselves a jihadists...are increasing in both number
and geographic dispersion...The increased role of Iraqis managing the activities
of al-Qa'ida in Iraq might lead veteran foreign jihadists to focus their
efforts on external operations....We also assess that the global jihadist movement is spreading and adapting to counterterrorism efforts."

So what have we got for our $500 billion kulge in the sandbox? More experienced, dispersed, and motivated extremists with even more reasons to attack the United States. You are doing a hell of a job, Georgie!
