What The Experts Say: Iraq and Global War on Terror Has Increased Terrorism, Not Defeated It

Intelligence analysts now state just what many bloggers (myself included) have stated for a very long time: Bush's Wars are contributing to and increasing the terrorism level throughout the world rather than "defeating" terrorism.

The Times also weighs in on this matter,

“A stark assessment of terrorism trends by American intelligence agencies has found that the American invasion and occupation of Iraq has helped spawn a new generation of Islamic radicalism and that the overall terrorist threat has grown since the Sept. 11 attacks.”
I'll add that I do truly believe that much of what the Bush Administration has done has not just increased global terrorism; the Bushies have made it into a "proud sport" any nation can and should play.
