"Why then did the Junk Media and the Democrats hyperventilate about this April 2006 Report?"

The best they can come up with as the 2006 mid-term elections approach. If the dems put a lot of faith in the leaked portion of the NIE, the rest of the NIE refutes their "cut-n-run" position. Wonder how much faith they will place in that part of the NIE?

That's just the reality of the situation. The rats and the media will immeidtaely change the subject and it's over.

You must remember that the WOT is POTUS's STRONG suit.

They have a server now in front of the one with the document.....still can't get to that server....with the document....

We also assess that the global jihadist movement—which includes al- Qa’ida, affiliated and independent terrorist groups, and emerging networks and cells—is spreading and adapting to counterterrorism efforts.

Why wouldn't they 'adapt' to our counterterrorism efforts when the likes of the traitorous NYT continues to inform them of our efforts?

[MNJohnnie]

GREAT idea SCR!

LOL ...and you PC are living up to your tagline.

The Iraq conflict has become the .cause celebre. for jihadists, breeding a deep resentment of US involvement in the Muslim world and cultivating supporters for the global jihadist movement. Should jihadists leaving Iraq perceive themselves, and be perceived, to have failed, we judge fewer fighters will be inspired to carry on the fight.

Well, it does make that claim but it's not a 'bad thing' in my opinion. Before Iraq it was bases in Saudi Arabia, before that it was the Joooos, in fact since the Chicago White Sox won the World Series, the number of terrorists in the world has gone up about 25%.  Good Lord imagine what would happen if the Cubs won!

The president should immediately declassify each and ever document that has been leaked to the New York Times. It should be immediately presumed that the enemy has received the document and therefore no need to keep it classified especially when only selected parts of the documents are used by his enemies to impugn the administration.

Thanks for the laugh...I didn't even see his tagline...it fits.

[Aegedius]

There are several key quotes, but this one gets my attention.

We assess that the Iraq jihad is shaping a new generation of terrorist leaders and operatives; perceived jihadist success there would inspire more fighters to continue the struggle elsewhere.

Translation--- if we cut and run, the jihadists will perceive that as victory for them, which will inspire more terrorists.

[madison10]

Can't read more...it's not there. Freepers are crashing the servers. ;)

MSNBC keeps only reading the first sentence. Completely skipping over the second one.

[Ben Mugged]

CNN just issued a news brief via email. It states:

-- Key conclusions of a report assessing the state of global terrorism are released after President Bush ordered its declassification. One assessment is Iraq is shaping a new generation of terror leaders.

I'm hoping the October Surprise will be quite Rovian - the name(s) of the leaker(s).

[MNJohnnie]

Who cares. MORE people listen to Talk Radio then watch the nightly news. This was a spiking of THEIR PR campaign propgaganda efforts, not an effort to get info out for our side.
