Iraq War Swells Al Qaeda's Ranks, Report Says
By REUTERS Filed at 7:31 a.m. ET

LONDON (Reuters) - "War in Iraq has swollen the ranks of al Qaeda and galvanized the Islamic militant group's will ...." (sigh)

"Nation-building" in Iraq ...might require more troops than initially planned...."war in Iraq has ..inflamed radical passions among Muslims and thus increased al Qaeda's recruiting power and morale and...its operating capability...The immediate effect of the war may have been ...swelling its ranks and galvanizing its will...it also "impelled an already highly decentralized and evasive international terrorist network to become even more 'virtual' and protean and, therefore, harder to identify and neutralize,".. 18,000 veterans of al Qaeda's Afghan training camps were still..operating worldwide "with recruitment continuing and probably increasing following the war in Iraq." Al Qaeda leaders, including bin Laden, are mostly still at large and continue to incite followers over the Internet and through pronouncements on Arabic-language television..((we must)resolve local conflicts, such as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, so regional radical groups such as Hamas do not fall into al Qaeda's embrace)"

Now will our media note that Bush is failing in the execution of his fight on terror? We can all see how hard he is working on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict - as in not working on it - and we now know the war was NOT the way to go to increase the security - let alone treasury - of the US. However the war in Iraq will do wonders for the wealth of the Bush friends in Daddy Bush's Carlyle Group, Halliburton, etc.
