The terrorist threat has increased, thanks to Iraq, and that's just the way Bushco wants it

(from the nyt via raw story...)

i know it's politically correct to accuse the bush administration of incompetence in waging the iraq war and, as a consequence, of aggravating the terrorist threat worldwide, but i don't buy it... bush and the rest of the cabal are accomplishing EXACTLY what they set out to do - creating an endless war that will provide an excuse for the endless exercise of unlimited presidential power, keeping us on the fast lane to a totalitarian state...

The intelligence estimate, completed in April, is the first formal appraisal of global terrorism by U.S. intelligence agencies since the Iraq war began, and it 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 U.S. intelligence official.

nice work, guys... it's working out just like you planned...
