No Freakin' Sh^t: CIA reports that Iraq to be terrorist breeding ground
Who would have thunk it? Iraq is now coincidentally a new terrorist breeding ground since say...um...oh...about two years ago...

Wow. Now that is a big surprise.

Snip:
"The war in Iraq is creating a training and recruitment ground for a new generation of "professionalized" Islamic terrorists, and the risk of a terrorist attack involving a germ weapon is steadily growing, an in-house CIA think tank said in a report released Thursday.
The "dispersion of the experienced survivors of the conflict in Iraq" to other countries will create a new threat in the coming 15 years, especially as the Al Qaeda network mutates into a volatile brew of independent extremist groups, cells and individuals, according to the report by the National Intelligence Council."

2. Oh but you see, this is a GOOD thing.
"Cuz den were fitin' dem terrists on there terf, not ours."
</freeper mode>

Seriously, people I know who are otherwise quite intelligent and rational think that the ongoing conflict in Iraq is good because then all the terrorists are attacking our troops instead of civilians on our soil.

Never mind that the goal of the terrorist mindset IS to kill civilians and that the "terrorists" in Iraq are simply fighting what they see as illegal invaders. *sigh*

4. We could have saved untold lives and money
instead of invading - spending billions of dollars and signing a death warrant for thousands of our own military, not to mention innocent civilians - W could have just sent $20 million dollars to Al Queda to set up terrorist camps and for recruiting.

5. Actually that sounds like a good idea.
In the way that just about EVERYTHING that Chimpy does turns to shit - if he helped Al-Qaida set up camps, they'd fail, and we'd actually be winning the battle against terrorists!

6. This is where the "Better to fight them there not here" line pays off
You have to hand it to these cretins they really are good at lying. Unparalleled in history really.
