Bush is more dangerous to America than Terrorists

Bush says that his invasion of Iraq is about fighting terrorism outside the United States, and that his administration has caught or killed most of the leadership of al Qaeda. Here is the report today from the Christian Science Monitor.

An excerpt:
"It is a new generation of Al Qaeda," says Riffat Hussain, a leading defense and security analyst based in Islamabad, Pakistan. "These are new converts to Al Qaeda. They may have no links with Al Qaeda in the past, but now they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the cause as they feel Al Qaeda is the name of defiance to the West. They are young and angry, and their number has swelled in the aftermath of the US invasion of Iraq."

[The underlining is mine.]

Bush’s unprovoked attack on Iraq has created a whole new generation of al Qaeda leaders, as well as created an indigenous Iraqi insurgency focused on making American troops leave Iraq.

Rather than fighting to destroy terrorist groups, Bush’s methods have acted to create more terrorists where previously there were none. It is difficult to conceive of a more self-defeating method of fighting terrorists and world terrorism.

Bush was a mistake as President initially, and every action he has taken since he was sworn in has proven that he is an utter disaster for America.
