Iraq War Worsens Terrorism Threat--BIGGEST STORY YET
I know this story has been all over this board today, but it's HUGE.

This story says WE ARE NOT SAFER, REPEAT: WE ARE NOT SAFER from the war in Iraq.

IN FACT IS SAYS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT OUR PRESIDENT HAS BEEN SAYING.

~snip~ The report “says that the Iraq war has made the overall terrorism problem worse,” said one American intelligence official.~snip~

Democrats Use Intelligence Report on Increased Terror Threat to Attack GOP Strategy in Iraq
http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=2485258
By NEDRA PICKLER

WASHINGTON Sep 24, 2006 (AP)— Democrats on Sunday seized on an intelligence assessment that said the Iraq war has increased the terrorist threat, saying it was further evidence that Americans should choose new leadership in the November elections.

The Democrats hoped the report would undermine the GOP's image as the party more capable of handing terrorism as the campaign enters its final six-week stretch.

Their criticisms came in a collection of statements sent to reporters Sunday amid the disclosure of a National Intelligence Estimate that concluded the war has helped create a new generation of Islamic radicalism and that the overall terrorist threat has grown since the Sept. 11 attacks.
