The economy has been losing jobs since 1999. The war may have had a small impact (read fears of a fuel price spike), but there are much larger underlying issues.

I believe the economy actually added a small number last year. I agree the economy hasn't robust for awhile now. My comment about the war was mainly the unexpected rise in claims. There is a longer term problem that started over 2 years ago, which seems to be rooted in wildly excessive investment in technology in the late 90's, followed by the inevitable correction.
