Iraq War "AMPLIFIES TERROR THREAT" - US intel agencies
The war that Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney, Mr. Rumsfeld, Mr. Wolfowitz, and dozens of other Republican officials in government and Congress have unleashed on Iraq "AMPLIFIES THE TERROR THREAT to America," according to the headlines as The Toronto Daily News saw fit to report 'em.
The Bush-Republican Party is synonymous with corruption and arrogance... and lies. They came into office in 2001 (after 'winning' that election by disenfranchising thousands of legal American voters) PROMISING us that TAX CUTS for the wealthy would continue to create a BUDGET SURPLUS as the Clinton administration had left America.... yet today, those same Bush/Republicans care not a whit about America's monstrous debt, deficits, and balance-of-trade deficits, or the massive, taxpayer subsidized JOB-OUTSOURCING that creates more of those deficits.
Mr. Bush PLEDGED to "get Osama binLaden dead or alive..." then in his greed and lust for a war against Iraq, not only did Mr. Bush ALLOW Osama bin Laden to ESCAPE from the mountains of Tora Bora, Afghanistan, but then Mr. Bush had the arrogance and audacity to state "Osama bin Laden DOESN'T CONCERN ME THAT MUCH ANY MORE"....even as the Al Qaida leader continued to plot on how best to kill American soldiers and citizens, and even as Mr. Bush had the gall to say on national TV that his opponent in the 2004 election (Senator John Kerry) was "A FLIP-FLOPPER"!
Mr. Bush and his flacks tell us that he needs unbridled TORTURE powers to win the war on terror.. but he can't even begin the search for bin Laden, and Mr. Bush has long ago DISBANDED the CIA/Dept. of Defense unit tasked with finding bin Laden!!
- As singer Neil Young asks (in his song, "Let's Impeach the President") "What," Mr. President, "IF Al QAIDA HAD BLOWN THE [New Orleans] LEVEES.... WOULD WE BE SAFER THEN?"
In the case of leading America in the "War on Terror," not only is Mr. Bush a gross failure, but HE_IS_A_THREAT to America's well being and security.
As this should-be-infamous final report of the 9-11 Commission so coldly documents>

War in Iraq Amplifies Terror Threat
Iraq war gave rise to a new wave of extremism, new report suggests.

A new report states that Iraq war has increased the overall terror threat by giving rise to a new wave of extremism, according to a leaked US intelligence report.
The Iraq war has made the threat from terrorism greater, report says. Instead of contributing to eventual victory in the war on terror, the situation in Iraq has worsened the U.S. position, The Washington Post and The New York Times reported, based on government sources.
The 30-page National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) "Trends in Global Terrorism: Implications for the United States" is the first formal assessment of global terrorism by U.S. intelligence since the Iraq war began in 2003.
The report represents a consensus view of the 16 different intelligence services.
The conclusions of the NIE appeared to contradict repeated claims by US president George W. Bush claimed to have made the country safer. They also contradict President's recent statement, on the fifth anniversary of the 11 September attacks, that the overthrow of Saddam Hussein had been vital to win the "war on terror".
The document said the overall terror threat has increased since the 9/11 attacks but made no predictions whether the next attack may occur. The report also said that the military conflict in Iraq, in which almost 2,700 US soldiers and nearly 50,000 Iraqis have died, has helped inspire a spread of radical Islamic ideology around the globe.
In a statement, Senator Edward Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat and opponent of the Iraq war, said that the National Intelligence Estimate should "put the final nail in the coffin for President Bush's phony argument about the Iraq war".
