Who said this? "Prolonging the war is in our interest"

you'll certainly not hear anyone in bushco saying those words, but they might as well, because they're the truth...

“Prolonging the war is in our interest,” wrote “Atiyah,” one of bin Laden’s top lieutenants.

Atiyah’s letter and other internal al-Qaeda communications reveal that one of the group’s biggest worries has been that a prompt U.S. military withdrawal might expose how fragile al-Qaeda’s position is in Iraq and cause many young jihadists to lay down their guns and go home.

But a Republican victory in the Nov. 7 congressional elections almost certainly would end that concern. A GOP-controlled Congress would continue to give Bush a blank check, meaning the Iraq War would be prolonged and, quite possibly, expanded into other Middle East countries.

Bush would be tempted to double up on his Iraq wager by attacking Iran and Syria, two countries that U.S. officials have accused of aiding Iraqi insurgents. A number of U.S. military experts also believe that Bush would order the bombing of Iran if it doesn’t agree to curtail its nuclear research.

An expanded war would thrill Bush’s neoconservative advisers and other prominent Republicans, such as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who have lusted publicly over the idea of fighting “World War III” against radical Muslims around the globe.

But the continued war in Iraq and its regional expansion would serve bin Laden’s interests, too, by proving to many of the world’s one billion Muslims that the Saudi exile was right in his predictions of an aggressive Western assault on Islam.

what does bushco want...? repeat after me: endless war... what if al qaeda was defeated...? what if osama was captured or killed...? what if the iraq war wasn't consuming billions of dollars a month...? WHAT IF THERE WASN'T A WAR...? think about it, people, for god's sake... the bush administration has ABSOLUTELY NO INCENTIVE TO WIN THE WAR ON TERROR OR TO KEEP AMERICA SAFE... NONE... ZERO... ZILCH... NADA...
