They were definitely on the increase already. This is a hack job by the unhappies. Did they go do a survey of take a census? Not real news.

Let me guess. A Clinton holdover leaks another classified document to Al Quieda's propaganda arm, the New York Slimes.

New tone comes back to bite again?

"... the overall terrorist threat has grown since the Sept. 11 attacks..."

We engaged the Japanese on several fronts after Pearl Harbor. The war got WORSE before it got better.

The Islamofascist threat is going to ONLY increase on a global scale because we (the United States) have already engaged the enemy, and the Islamic mindset is so closed and so narrow that they are unable to withdraw, retreat or surrender. Their only possible choices are victory (which they will never achieve) or death.

So be it in Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, we are going to have to come to the realization that if modern civilization is to survive, it is kill or be killed. The Islamo terrorists have already stated that they will kill us or die.

We should be doing everything possible to help them all become (laugh-chuckle-snort) "martyrs for allah".

You know what, whenever this problem - Islamic fascism in the middle east - was confronted, it was going to get worse before it got better. The people who participate in the killing of innocents through the means of terrorism weren't made by the battlefront in Iraq. They've been there, waiting for an excuse.

When I put ant mound killer down on the fire ant piles in my yard, the ants swarm out. They wouldn't be swarming out like that if I didn't put the poison down. Guess what - I'm still going to put the poison down.

Actually, if true --- it is a good thing..

If TRUE - it has forced Islamists to reveal themselves, making it possible to kill them now and spare our children and grandchildren the problem..

A rational person should acknowledge - that sooner or later, militant Islam and militant Islamists will HAVE to be destroyed...

If not all of them, certainly enough to drive them into remission for another century or two or into extinction if possible.

Semper Fi

Iraq hasnt spawned anything that wasnt lying there dormant waiting to gain strength. If anything it has brought them out into the open now, when we can control the damage if we ever get ourselves in gear and stop attacking each other and attack the real enemy.

Unfortunately the Liberals who would have been caught by surprise are still in shock and havent awakened to the fact that Islam wants anyone not affiliated with some crackpot Mullah or other ---dead.

Cruious thing. His link goes back to his own page. Nothing on WHICH paper is publishing. I call dibs on NY "All the Treason fit to Print" Times.

Once again. NO verfiable source. So you suppose this one was faxt to them from a Texas Kinkos too?

Well, it could have been leaked and written by any anti-Bush bureaucrat, even Colin Powell or Armitage. The article doesn't say when the report was written.

...the overall terrorist threat has grown since the Sept. 11 attacks.

This presupposes that had Bush reacted to 9/11 the way Clinton would have, Islamic lunatics would be trying to join hands and sing Kumbaya with Jews and Christians everywhere.

BJ is pulling some favors from his buddies back in D.C.? They expect to push this lie when we know they were not doing anything more than just giving lip service to the terrorist threats thanks to their Coward-In-Chief.

Classified National Intelligence Estimate

Classified [klas-uh-fahyd]

–adjective

(of information, a document, etc.)

a. bearing the designation classified.

b. available only to authorized persons.

So who is going to jail?

"Classified National Intelligence Estimate found that the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq has helped spawn a new generation of Islamic radicalism and that the overall terrorist threat has grown since the Sept. 11 attacks..."

IMHO this was anticipated, as exemplified by the President's post-invasion use of the phrase, "Bring it on!"
