State Department Finally Admits What We Know: We've Made Iraq into a Haven/Training Center for Terrorists it Was NOT Before

From the UK Guardian and the word isn't good:

The US state department acknowledged yesterday that there is a risk of Iraq becoming a safe haven for terrorists three years after the invasion of the country.

The warning is contained in the state department's annual country reports on terrorism. The report, which suggests an increase in terrorist attacks worldwide, appears to undermine repeated claims by President George Bush that the US is winning the "war on terrorism".

The report says: "Iraq is not currently a terrorist safe haven, but terrorists including Sunni groups like al-Qaida in Iraq, Ansar al-Islam and Ansar al-Sunna, as well as Shia extremists and other groups, view Iraq as a potential safe haven and are attempting to make it a reality."
The department said some of Iraq's neighbours, including Syria, had not been helpful in the battle to try to prevent the creation of a terrorist safe haven.

The report said there had been more than 11,000 terrorist attacks worldwide, killing 14,600 people, and blamed al-Qaida or al-Qaida-linked groups.

The number of attacks represents a huge increase over the previous year, counter to Mr Bush's claim that the war was being won. But the state department said a revised methodology meant the numbers could not be compared with the 3,129 international terrorism attacks listed the previous year.

Contrary to the lies of the Bushies, Iraq was NOT a terrorist training camp or haven before we arrived to wage war. This development is entirely the work of the Bushies, funded by our tax dollars, and perpetrated against innocent civilians and Coalition soldiers.
