One of the many reasons some people here do not cheerlead this war like it's some kind of otcbb stock to hype has been echoed by the top official in what seems to no longer be a crucial purview: Terror Chief Quits Another piece of news that almost got lost in the onrush of events was the resignation of Rand Beers, the top National Security Council official in the war on terror. He timed his exit to the expiry of Bush's official ultimatum to Saddam (the US started sending Special Forces into Iraq 48 hours before the deadline UPI quoted "intelligence sources" as saying "the move reflects concern that the looming war with Iraq is hurting the fight against terrorism.""Hardly a surprise," UPI quoted one former intelligence official as saying. "We have sacrificed a war on terror for a war with Iraq. I don't blame Randy at all. This just reflects the widespread thought that the war on terror is being set aside for the war with Iraq at the expense of our military and intel resources and the relationships with our allies." Now if one is either for the US or for the terrorists...what does that make the shrubbies now?
