Has Bush Botched the War on Terror? The Issue Is Iraq Finding out what happened on 9/11 is vital. But the real question is whether Bush has botched the war on terror WEB EXCLUSIVE By Michael Hirsh Newsweek msnbc.msn.com Updated: 6:13 p.m. ET April 08, 2004April 8 - No one was more eager to question Condoleezza Rice about 9/11 than Bob Kerrey. The former senator from Nebraska, who as ever seems unwilling to play the Washington game of decorous double-talk, has been haranguing witnesses for weeks over why neither the Clinton nor Bush administrations did more to prevent the attacks. But as he prepared to badger Rice about the history of what happened two and a half years ago, not even Kerrey could ignore the maelstrom of events occurring half a world away this week. Referring to the dramatic turn of events this week in Iraq, when the once-quiet majority Shias joined the insurgency and dozens of U.S. soldiers were killed, Kerrey noted that he was “not going to get the national-security adviser 30 feet away from me very often.” So he offered Rice some grim advice. “I think we’re going to end up with civil war if we continue down the military-operation strategy that we have in place,” Kerrey, now a 9/11 commissioner, said in the hushed hearing room on Capitol Hill. The United States, he suggested, was continuing to misread the Muslim mind. Kerrey worried that because of the worsening quagmire of Iraq—yes, we can call it that now—U.S. policy there could “provide an opportunity for Al Qaeda to have increasing success at recruiting people to attack the United States.” A new 9/11 could be gestating, in other words, even as we perform an autopsy on the last one. <more>
