Pelosi: ‘War in Iraq Is Making it Harder for America to Fight and Win the War on Terror’

from Miss America herself.

And this whole time I've been thinking it's all one in the same war. Boy was I wrong...

This type of clear thinking spells doom for the GOP this November.

"not a single terrorist who planned 9/11 has been caught and brought to justice."

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed I guess has not be let free by a liberal judge yet. I guess that is what she means by that comment.

Whaaa, whaaa, whaaa!

No intelligence..
NO brain..
NO CLUE

God save us from these nitwits.

Guess we should pull out of Iraq and follow the Democrat plan... which is what?

You can't really expect a ditzy liberal broad to understand that they are one and the same. The war on terror is being fought against al-Qaeda terrorists. We are fighting al-Qaeda terrorists in Iraq. What are your questions Nancy. Geeesh!

How police caught up with the 9/11 mastermind

Yesterday's confirmation of the arrest of Ramzi bin al-Shibh in Karachi, Pakistan, almost a year to the hour after the attacks on New York and Washington, will provide a massive boost to the American campaign against al-Qaeda and Islamic terrorism.

American authorities have also arrested five men believed to be part of a terrorist cell in a quiet suburb of Buffalo, New York.

Top al Qaeda operative caught in Pakistan
U.S.: Khalid Shaikh Mohammed planned 9/11 attacks

Saturday, March 1, 2003 Posted: 10:52 PM EST (0352 GMT)

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- The man believed to be the key planner of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 -- and several al Qaeda attacks in the past five years -- was among three terrorism suspects arrested in a CIA-led operation early Saturday in a house outside the Pakistani capital.

The arrest of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed is the single most important in the war on terror since September 11, said a law enforcement official close to the investigation.

He was arrested along with a Pakistani political leader, Ahmed Abdul Qadoos, and a man of Middle Eastern origin, Pakistani government officials said.

When the liberal from San Francisco is telling us how she would run the war I will be all ears.

Why is she not pressed more by the media about what her plan is? I know the answer but its not a rhetorical question unless the GOP continues to allow the dems to get away with this.

If they can run by simply bashing what is being done without telling us what their plan is we are in trouble. We cannot rely on the media to do this so the GOP needs to start harping on this continually IMO.

re-deploy to Okinawa.

The democrats have become so predictable that trashing them with scathing comments on FR isn't even fun any more.

The only quote I see from the NIE itself is "centrality" of the Iraq war which is something the President has said all along: "Iraq is the central front of the war on terror."

The following are the only quotes from intelligence officials: "It's a very candid assessment," one intelligence official said yesterday of the estimate, the first formal examination of global terrorist trends written by the National Intelligence Council since the March 2003 invasion. "It's stating the obvious."

Give me a break. "It's a very candid assessment," & "It's stating the obvious" don't appear to me to be meaningful statements of any kind.

"But the battlefronts intelligence analysts depict are far more impenetrable and difficult, if not impossible, to combat with the standard tools of warfare." This has nothing to do with Iraq and quite frankly supports what the President has been saying.

Here's the next quote from an intel-agent: "What these guys at NIC are supposed to do is to lay it out in very clear, understandable terms," said the intelligence official, who was not authorized to speak on the record. "It's not the role of the NIC to offer recommendations." Rather, it "basically states the conditions" as the intelligence community sees them, he said.

What's this really say pro or con? NOTHING.

Sober conclusions
The conclusions and tone of the NIE have been reflected in a number of public statements by senior intelligence officials this year. In a February speech at Georgetown University, Negroponte said: "My colleagues and I still view the global jihadist terrorist movement, which emerged from the Afghan-Soviet conflict in the 1980s but is today inspired and led by al Qaeda, as the preeminent threat to our citizens, homeland interests and friends."

In a sober and comprehensive address to an armed forces group in Texas in April, Gen. Michael V. Hayden, then-deputy to Negroponte and now CIA director, drew heavily from the NIE judgments. If current trends continued, Hayden said, "threats to the U.S. at home and abroad will become more diverse and that could lead to increasing attacks worldwide."

Before delivering the speech, an intelligence official said, Hayden spoke directly to the NIE authors, saying, "I want to make these points" to a public audience.

Does this implicate Iraq in any manner? It appears to me that a couple of reporters have the vapors and maybe have this report completely backwards.
