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.

• 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. We assess that the underlying factors fueling the spread of the movement outweigh its vulnerabilities and are likely to do so for the duration of the timeframe of this Estimate.

Duh. Everyone wants to back a winner and no one wants to support a loser.

Just how old is this document anyway? Zarqawi has been dead for months!

I think it was produced in April,....the Z-Man was still alive then....

We must not be reading the same document then. Because it sure as hell doesn't say what the RATS have been saying it said.

Is that all of it?

Yes. Hartman/Pelosi hysterics notwithstanding.

I believe the 2000 report concludes that Saddam has WMD and he will use them.

Here is the money quote for me...

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. We assess that the underlying factors fueling the spread of the movement outweigh its vulnerabilities and are likely to do so for the duration of the timeframe of this Estimate.

In other words...WE CANNOT CUT AND RUN!! This is devistating for Dems.

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

The Iraq conflict has become the “cause celebre” for jihadists,

I may need a clarification from Harry on this one, did the jihadist's love us before we went into Iraq?

It is a very bland report...it states things we already knew.

Granted it is dated...it was written before the death of Zarqawi..

Bush noted that it was from Feb (I think) and kinda funny that it was leaked now.

I had connected to the site earlier this morning but am now getting the error. This tells me that it is overloaded and we will just have to wait until the traffic jam has shook itself out.

Too bad they didn't assess the damage done to American interests by the democrat party and their cohorts in the America hating media. But I guess that would have been too much to ask!

Why? Because they NEVER imagined POTUS would declassify the document.
