The TRAP of Iraq! "A magnet for terrorists"--(Peter Bergen)

[skip fox]

Peter Bergen on CNN this morning was AGAIN stating that Iraq has become a magnet for Jihadists throughout the region, that al-Quaeda and other radical Islamic groups are pouring into Iraq as a "target rich" environment. (Bergen, who is one of the mose credible sources on these issue has been saying this for WEEKS and WEEKS! Only now, since the bombims of the Jordanian embassy and the UN, are American officials noting the possiblity of the resistent consisting or more then disgruntled "Saddam loyalists.")

Bergen contention this a.m. was that the UN bombing's purpose is to dissuade other Western governments to aid US and Britian in policing and reconstructing Iraq. The interviewer did not ask him, but he was clearly implying that the United States is view by the opposition as caught in a trap and al-Quaeda is trying to isolate us in the country so they can kill Americans.

Thus . . . the quagmire is shortly upon us.

Meanwhile we're still arguing about who is doing this, applauding ourselves on our resolve, and even claiming that the terror groups coming into Iraq is a "good thing" cause now we can take our War on Terror right to them on their own front.

It sounds as though we're not only acting like the pig getting ready for its slaughter, but polishing the apple they will stick inour mouth.

What do you think?
