[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] And then this shows up in the Washington [i]Post[/i]: [QUOTE][URL=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/23/AR2006092301130.html]Spy Agencies Say Iraq War Hurting U.S. Terror Fight[/URL] The war in Iraq has become a primary recruitment vehicle for violent Islamic extremists, motivating a new generation of potential terrorists around the world whose numbers may be increasing faster than the United States and its allies can reduce the threat, U.S. intelligence analysts have concluded. A 30-page National Intelligence Estimate completed in April cites the "centrality" of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and the insurgency that has followed, as the leading inspiration for new Islamic extremist networks and cells that are united by little more than an anti-Western agenda. It concludes that, rather than contributing to eventual victory in the global counterterrorism struggle, the situation in Iraq has worsened the U.S. position, according to officials familiar with the classified document. ----[/QUOTE]So does the Administration come out and frankly discuss these finding with the American people. Let's see what Mr. Cheney, ever the stranger to reality, had to say: [QUOTE] [URL=http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060925/ap_on_go_pr_wh/cheney]Cheney accuses Democrats of 'defeatism'[/URL] MILWAUKEE - Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday that Democratic leaders aren't doing enough to fight terrorism and said Americans must "reject any strategy of resignation and defeatism in the face of determined enemies." Cheney, speaking at a party fundraiser, said Republicans must keep national security on the minds of voters heading into the November midterm election. Cheney used his 20-minute address to defend the Bush administration's war on terrorism and point fingers at Democrats. "We have to stay on the offensive until the danger to civilization is removed," Cheney told about 110 people at the Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee. ----[/QUOTE]The Democrats aren't doing enough to fight the terrorists that the Neocons are creating in Iraq. Interesting. [/QB][/QUOTE]
