Iraq War is Breeding Islamic Hate toward America



President Bush released a three page unclassified version of the NIE that the NYT and AP released over the weekend. The unclassified version of the report does say that the Iraq War is the “cause celebre” for Islamic Extremists, breeding deep resentment of the United States in the Muslim world. This is also in line with the report by the CIA that the number of al Quaeda has increase world wide from 20,000 before 9/11 to 50,000 today.

In addition, the President of Pakistan was interviewed within the hour on CNN and flatly stated he disagrees with Bush about the War in Iraq and said our invasion has made terrorism worse and the world LESS SAFE!.

Now Bush and Cheney are clearly at odds with both our intelligence agencies and the President of Pakistan as to how the Iraq war has impacted terrorism!

Yeah, the islamists hate us more now than they did when they flew airplanes into buildings. 

What a joke.  Didn't you just write this same post yesterday?  I knew this report was bs, and it's been proven.

What the NIE report says is that the Iraq war has INCREASED the number that hates us and thus makes defending our country harder. Face it-- the War in Iraq was an error and Bush and Cheney will not look at the reality of the danger.

First the AP and NYT reports were not true. Then it was wrong that they were released. Now that part of the report has been declassified and shows that the Iraq War has increased terrorism and is the CAUSE of the increased terrorism. What lie will Bush and Cheney tell next?

I do get the feeling they hate us more now, but I do not know how to quantify nor qualify their hate against how they felt before.
I do feel that America is less safe now thanks to Bush but how to we compare prior hatred to current hatred and come up with a number?

Col, everything you do to islam increases terrorism. Cartoons, the Pope, saying soemthing bad about islam, etc. This report is a joke. I wonder how many millions it wasted.

As I said before. We all should be thankful people like you weren't around during the World Wars.

I hope you understand col the democrats were made fools of again. The treasonous NYT reported wrong for them and now they are on TV whining about it.

I bet the liberals will say it was Rove who the leader. Oh, Iraq is making terrorists more mad. Too bad terrorists. We will fight terrorism until defeated no matter what people like col want us to do.

The NYT Report was correct. What the Hell are you talking about. It is Bush that is out of agreement with BOTH the NIE and the President of Pakistan!

The Islamic world has hated us for many, many years. Thing is, now, rather than facing innocent, unarmed citizens on cruise ships or planes, they're facing an armed, trained military force that's willing and able to pursue, attack and kill them before being killed (and, as I've recently heard, with bullets they've often dipped in bacon or sausage grease from breakfast).
This war isn't just against Iraq, Col; it's for the defense of Western Civilization. The sooner you people realize that, the sooner we can get to winning it.

That's because fools like you and that traitorous turd Murtha propagate the lie that we are at war with all Muslims.

Go back to your sewer like the rest of the vermin.

Yes many in the Moslem world have hated us for years. The result of our invasion is that we now have MORE Moslems that hate us and that this movement has spread to other countries in greater numbers.

Bush told us our invasion of Iraq was to allow for the Iraqi people to select their own government and create STABILITY, first Iraq and then in OTHER Moslem countries. The NIE and the reality on the ground says just the opposite: The results of our policy in Iraq have been:

Added instability in Iraq
Added number of terrorists world wide
The terrorists have moved into more countries compounding the security problem.

This is what you get when a person is elected as President that HAD NO FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE and refuses to listen to those that have that experience.

Col, everything causes more muslims to hate us. Just draw a cartoon and there you have it.

They have been hating and attacking us for over 20 years you moron. You seem to have skipped over the part of the NIE that says that if they are seen to fail in Iraq it will hurt their cause. Even more reason to keep killing them there.

They are using the Iraq situation as a recruiting tool, but if not Iraq they would use something else as they have done for decades.

And by the way, the AP and NYT reports were wrong. Nothing in that NIE repoort states that we are in any more danger of attack now than prior to Iraq. That was just politically motivated bullshit. Did you actually bother to read the released sections of the report or are you simply taking someone else's analysis again?

In addition, the President of Pakistan was interviewed within the hour on CNN and flatly stated he disagrees with Bush about the War in Iraq and said our invasion has made terrorism worse and the world LESS SAFE!.

Not quite true. If you actually read it on CNN's site you'll see that he did say that the war "has made the world a more dangerous place", but he did not say it has made terrorism worse. Yet another lie from you on that one.

The terrorists were attacking us many years prior to Iraq and we did nothing about it. We weren't in Iraq on 9/11/01. We weren't in Iraq when the USS COle was attacked. We weren't in Iraq when the Marine barracks was attacked.

Quit indulging in your hate Bush-fest and look at the facts for a change. Those people have been attacking us for decades and Iraq was an open supporter of terrorism.

The issue is that OUR POLICY has ADDED TO the danger. The NIE clearly documents that the number of terrorists have increased, Iraq is LESS not MORE stable and the terrorist groups have expended their operations in more countries then before we invaded Iraq. All three have been traced back to our invasion of Iraq! How then has our invasion of Iraq made us safer? The truth is that our invasion of Iraq has destabilized the situation and added to the danger. The NIE, the Facts on the ground and now the statement by the President of Pakistan, who lives the issue every day, has said our policy, The BUSH POLICY of invading Iraq, has made the security situation both in Iraq and thought the world WORSE!

Bush continues to tell us and the world just the opposite. How foolish he must look to deny the reality that faces us EVERY DAY!

I saw the CNN interview yesterday and the President of Pakistan said the Iraq War has made the world “LESS SAFE”. He was then asked if he disagreed with President Bush about the impact of our invasion of Iraq and he said "HE DID NOT AGREE WITH BUSH".

I'll put this is short child-like words for you to understand Col gene.

TERRORIST WANT US DEAD, THEY WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES TO KILL US. WE NEED TO FIGHT BACK. FIGHTING BACK MAKES THEM MADDER BECAUSE THEY SEE US AS INFIDELS. MUSLIMS DO NOT SEE TERRORIST AS A BAD THING SO OF COURSE THEY WILL GET MAD, BUT THAT ONLY MAKES THEM JUST AS BAD AS THEM SO I DON'T REALLY GIVE A RATS ASS IF THEY HATE OR MORE OR NOT. REGURARDLESS OF HOW MUCH HIGHER THE DAGER TO THIS COUNTRY IS NOW IT WAS DANGEROUS BEFORE AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE DANGEROUS TILL SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. LET THEM GET ANGRY, LET THEM HATE US MORE, IT ONLY HELPS US LOCATE THE REAL THREAT IN ISLAM. THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE PEACEFUL MUSLIMS WILL STAY OUT OF THE WAY AND NOTHING WILL COME TO THEM. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS? IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MUCH MORE THEY HATE US, IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MUCH MORE DANGEROUS IT IS, WHAT MATTERS IS THAT SOMETHING IS BEING DONE AND AS THE SAYING GOES, THISNGS WILL GET WORSE BEFORE THEY GET BETTER.

Col, everything we do adds to the danger. Would you rather fight, or appease them? Seriously, answer the question.

ll three have been traced back to our invasion of Iraq!


Actually it hasn't col.

The NIE, the Facts on the ground and now the statement by the President of Pakistan, who lives the issue every day, has said our policy, The BUSH POLICY of invading Iraq, has made the security situation both in Iraq and thought the world WORSE!


The President of Pakistan is nobody for you to be quoting col. He is not the most reliable or democratic leader in the middle east. How did he get into power again col?

I notice you can't refute what mason said. I guess the Iraq invasion is the reason for Sept. 11, right col jihan? They just loved us before Iraq, right?

What you and the other leftist loons fail to see is Iraq is just an excuse. Like mason said, if it's not Iraq, it's Israel. If it's not Israel, it's the West. The list goes on and on and only fools like yourself and the democrats fall for the propaganda.

You keep cutting and pasting the same bs over and over in different posts. You haven't been to Iraq col, you don't know whats going on except for what the NYT tells you.

Regardless ,you are wasting your time as usual. Bush will not be re-elected, he will not be impeached, or any other fantasy you loons have. Get over and live your life and stop obsessing over a man.

Iraq War is Breeding Islamic Hate toward America


What the title should really say is:

Iraq War shows Islams true colors

or

Iraq War excuse for turning "peaceful" Muslims into terrorist

BTW did you notice the lack of love towards France in the begining of the war? I guess back then French people she have feared possible terrorist attacks from Americans right? Not only are you ignorant but stupid as well, the thing is you only have a 50% chance of bettering yourself. You see the difference between stupid and ignorant is that ignorance can be cured with education, stupidity on the other hand is forever. Were you blond once?

Yeah col jihad. If fighting nazis created more nazis in the short term, should we have stopped fighting? If fighting crime made criminals made and created more, should we stop also?

If in WWII for example, for each German we killed three more joined the fight, we would have LOST the WAR!

To WIN we must reduce the number and effectiveness of our enemy not embolden and increase their numbers!

You didn't answer the question col.

From the report:

"United States-led counterterrorism efforts have seriously damaged the leadership of al-Qa’ida and disrupted its operations"

If we have disrupted their leadership, why are the level and change in their tactics taking place? The NIE says they have expanded and moved to other countries. That does not sound like their effectiveness has been reduced. What must be taking place is that as we kill a leader they have others willing and ready to take up the fight.

The bottom line is that the Iraq War is the source of the increased terrorism thought the world. That is what the NIE and the President of Pakistan have concluded. That does not make us safer!

Bush and those that blindly follow him totally ignore the reality and “Stay the Course” to disaster.

Col jihad, it's a war. The islamists are not dumb, and they will change their tactics. That is one advantage for them that they are not tied down to one country. You are right about one thing col jihad (finally), they do replace their leaders, but that is the not the fault of us. Islam is the problem col, you need to start realizing that.

The bottom line is that the Iraq War is the source of the increased terrorism thought the world.


And that's totally false. The report said Iraq was basically a controversial issue which terrorists use to make their case. It's really just an excuse. If it wasn't Iraq, it would be Israel. If not Israel, then something else. It's all propaganda that unfortunately people like believe.

You want to know the real reason for increased terrorism in the world? Islam.

The NIE below clearly states that the Iraq war is the cause of increased terrorism. The President of Pakistan said the Iraq war has made terrorism WORSE and that he was in disagreement with Bush. He lives this war and is a lot more aware with DIRECT knowledge then GWB. For Bush to ignore the conclusions of his own Intelligence Agencies shows he is not interested in the facts just what he wants to be true. Anyone that continues to argue that the Iraq war has made us safer is totally out of touch with reality!

The unclassified version of the report does say that the Iraq War is the “cause celebre” for Islamic Extremists, breeding deep resentment of the United States in the Muslim world. This is also in line with the report by the CIA that the number of al Qaeda has increase world wide from 20,000 before 9/11 to 50,000 today.

AND WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAVE HAPPENED? DUH. IF YOU WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED THIS A LEGIT WAR (JUST TAKE THIS AS A HYPO QUESTION) WOULD THIS HAVE BEEN A SURPRISE TO YOU OR WOULD YOU HAVE EXPECTED IT? wE HAVE BEEN IN DANGER FOR YEARS NOW THIS IS NOTHING SO, SO NOW THERE ARE MORE MUSLIMS MAD AT US, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? THEY BEEN HATING US ALL ALONG, THEY ARE ONLY STARTING TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES VOCALLY NOW, HOW DO YOU THINK THEY MANAGED 9/11, IT'S NOT LIKE THEY WERE CHANTING IT ON TV EVERYDAY THAT THEY WERE GONNA HIGHJACK 4 PLANES ON 9-11-01 AND SLAM THEM INTO DIFFERENT PLACES. WAKE UP ALREADY, THIS WAR HAS DONE NOTHING THAT ANYTHING ELSE WE WOULD HAVE DONE TO THE MUSLIM PEOPLE WOULDN'T HAVE DONE EXCEPT BRING OUT THE REAL ISLAMIC MUSLIM INTO THE LIGHT. GET A CLUE ALREADY, THEY HATED US BEFORE BUSH, THEY HAVE HATED US DURING BUSH AND THEY WILL HATE US AFTER BUSH, BUT IF WE SIT BACK AND DO NOTHING THEY WILL NOT ONLY HATE US BUT DEFEAT US AS WELL. WE MIGHT AS WELL GIVE THEM THE NUKES TO KILL US IF WE GONNA GIVE UP AND SURRENDER.

I can always count on you Col to prove just how stupid you really are.

United States-led counterterrorism efforts have seriously damaged the leadership of al-Qa’ida and disrupted its operations;


This is from the same declasified pages as this:

The Iraq conflict has become the .cause celebre. for jihadists, breeding a deep resentment of US involvement in the Muslim world and cultivating supporters for the global jihadist movement.


What you have been using to prove your point. Now make up your mind is this report wrong or is it right, or only the parts that make Bush look bad are right? I dare you to answer this question you ignorant fool. You don't even know how to debate without putting your foot in your mouth with every keystroke.
