I believe that the Bush administration welcomes terrorism

there could be no other explanation for the strategy the administration has consistently followed... fanning the flames of anti-american sentiment through the continuing occupation of iraq serves many objectives - keeping the fear threshold high, running the defense and armaments machine at full speed, retaining the prerogatives of a wartime commander-in-chief, allowing the construction of military bases and the embassy complex to move forward, staying in control of iraqi energy resources, and insuring that swollen rivers of cash are flowing into the right pockets...

When asked directly, "Is the United States winning the war on terror?" [analyst Paul Kurtz] immediately responded, "without a doubt no" and added that "our continued engagement in Iraq is spawning more terrorist activity."

in bushco's view, what's NOT to like about an ever-increasing threat of terrorism...?
