Intelligence Report Skewers Bush On Iraq

The Washington Post informed us Sunday of a National Intelligence Estimate completed last April by U.S. intelligence analysts. I can see why Georgie and those in his administration did not want to release the report. It exposes his policy on Iraq as a sham and a failure.

The 30-page report says that rather than contributing to victory against the world-wide war on terrorism, the situation in Iraq has just made things worse. In fact, the report states that the Iraqi war is used as a recruiting tool for Islamic extremists, and says the number of extremists is growing faster than the U.S. and its allies can deal with them. In short, terrorists pose a greater danger to the United States today than before we invaded Iraq.

The report did say we have significantly damaged Al-Queda's leadership, but all this has done is to decentralize extremists networks, making them much harder to find and deal with. Remember, this is a report released by Georgie's own intelligence analysts.

None of this comes as a surprise to many on the left. We have been saying for a while now that the war has made no one safer, especially our soldiers. Georgie invaded Iraq without cause, since they posed no danger to us. Georgie invaded Iraq without sufficient preparation and without sufficient forces to complete the job. And Georgie continues to sacrifice our soldiers without any plan for winning or withdrawing.

Two things need to happen as quickly as possible. Georgie needs to be impeached and our soldiers need to be brought home immediately. Leaving them in the middle of Georgie's Iraqi mess will only get more of our brave soldiers killed and make the world more dangerous for all Americans.
