National Intelligence Estimate: Iraq War Hurting War on Terrorism
No big shocker here, because many of us in the reality-based community have been saying this for some time now.
But a National Intelligence Estimate completed in April, concludes that the war in Iraq is indeed hurting the war on terror.
The report, which one intelligence official calls "a very candidate assessment that "states the obvious," concludes that the war in Iraq has helped to bring birth to a new generation of Islamic extremist networks. And contrary to what the Bush Administration wants you to believe, the National Intelligence Estimate says that the war in Iraq has put the United States in a more weakened position relative to the war on terror.
This really is a no-brainer here. The war in Iraq, and especially the atrocities at Abu Gharib, have become the recruitment poster for Islamic extremists.
I would like to know, though, why this report which was completed in April, is just now becoming public knowledge.
