Mission Accomplished

In an effort to make the world safer the Bush administration attacked Iraq, despited the opposition of several key figures from the 1991 Gulf War. So how has it turned out?

According the Washington Post, Iraq New Terror Breeding Ground, so apparently everything is going just great.

"Iraq has replaced Afghanistan as the training ground for the next generation of "professionalized" terrorists, according to a report released yesterday by the National Intelligence Council, the CIA director's think tank......Before the U.S. invasion, the CIA said Saddam Hussein had only circumstantial ties with several al Qaeda members. ..as instability in Iraq grew after the toppling of Hussein, and resentment toward the United States intensified in the Muslim world, hundreds of foreign terrorists flooded into Iraq across its unguarded borders. They found tons of unprotected weapons caches that, military officials say, they are now using against U.S. troops."

I feel safer, don't you?
