Iraq’s budding democracy has not created new Islamic terrorists

The CIA would disagree

The CIA believes the Iraq insurgency poses an international threat and may produce better-trained Islamic terrorists than the 1980s Afghanistan war that gave rise to Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, officials said yesterday.

A classified report from the agency says Iraqi and foreign fighters are developing a broad range of skills, from car bombings and assassinations to coordinated conventional attacks on police and military targets, officials said.

Once the insurgency ends, Islamic militants are likely to disperse as highly organized battle-hardened combatants capable of operating throughout the Arab-speaking world and in other regions including Europe.

The May report, which has been widely circulated in the intelligence community, also cites a potential threat to the United States.

So, newbie, we shouldn't fight .. because by fighting we make our enemies better combatants?

Only the ones still sucking in air, the dead ones have been removed from the playing field.

What the idiots on the left either can't or don't want to comprehend is that the Islamonazis will NOT quit coming. They are committed to destroying the west ... irrespective of whether we stand and fight or curl up into the fetal postion.

So ... put on a dry, clean pair of pants and get back to work.

The CIA is unreliable and untrustworthy. What they might say, especially publicly, is de facto suspect because of their post-Bush-Sr. track record of being politically corrupted by the Clintons and not fixed by Bush Jr.
