The Great Denier
It is Mr. Bush who has denied the military what it needs, first by shortchanging the Pentagon on troops and armor and then by stranding American forces in a civil war with no achievable military goal and evaporating political support. Mr. Bush denied Americans a serious debate about starting this war. It’s far past time for a serious and honest debate about how to end it.
The elective invasion of Iraq has created the conditions for Al Qaeda not only to actually exist in that country, but to also increase in size and power. As I like to mention, for this Americans are supposed to be grateful to George Bush.
The articles are coming out in a steady stream that point to the capacity of Al Qaeda in Iraq.
Al-Qaeda in Iraq gaining in power, sophistication, wealth
The war in Iraq has transformed the Al-Qaeda affiliate into a battle-hardened organization with piles of money, sophisticated recruiting networks and some of the world's most experienced and innovative bomb makers, officials and analysts say.
Back in the era of President Reagan, Al Qaeda came into being with US support, in order to fight the Russians in Afghanistan.
Now with Bush, the organization has gained a growing foothold in Iraq and is considered a greater threat than it was at the time of 9-11.
This reflects on the policy failures of Republican administrations. Is anybody actually thinking in this administration? Or is it just all bluster and emotion?
