Study cites seeds of terror in Iraq
Study cites seeds of terror in Iraq
Now see, this is what our side has been predicting all along:
New investigations by the Saudi Arabian government and an Israeli think tank --both of which painstakingly analyzed the backgrounds and motivations of hundreds of foreigners entering Iraq to fight the United States -- have found that the vast majority of these foreign fighters are not former terrorists and became radicalized by the war itself.
The studies, which together constitute the most detailed picture available of foreign fighters, cast serious doubt on President Bush's claim that those responsible for some of the worst violence are terrorists who seized on the opportunity to make Iraq the ''central front" in a battle against the United States.
You know, this probably wouldn't piss me off as bad if every spectrum of the semi-intelligent and above crowd weren't fully aware that Iraq had nothing to do with September 11 say it with me Bushies - come on - the words aren't too freaking difficult - even if they are a little bitter to swallow. The only person who seized the oppertunity to make Iraq the so called "central front" in a battle against the United States was our so called president.
''The terrorists know that the outcome (in Iraq) will leave them emboldened or defeated," Bush said in his nationally televised address on the war at Fort Bragg in North Carolina last month. ''So they are waging a campaign of murder and destruction." The US military is fighting the terrorists in Iraq, he repeated this month, ''so we do not have to face them here at home."
A campaign of murder and destruction? Um excuse me Mr President - but that would be us, not the other team. The fact is Bush is now trying to get the American people to belive that the war he once refered to as being against a handful of tents and a camel are a big bad threat to the United States...
However, interrogations of nearly 300 Saudis captured while trying to sneak into Iraq and case studies of more than three dozen others who blew themselves up in suicide attacks show that most were heeding the calls from clerics and activists to drive infidels out of Arab land, according to a study by Saudi investigator Nawaf Obaid, a US-trained analyst who was commissioned by the Saudi government and given access to Saudi officials and intelligence…
Translation? This war is makeing terrorism worse not better, which isn't really a surprise when you realize that it's being spearheaded by a man who managed to so badly fuck up every other business deal he has ever taken part in.
