Possible civil war developing in Iraq, out of control now.
We thought the Sunni Triangle was bad, now southern Shiites Iraq is exploding. The whole thing could blow up in our faces, all because of arrogant, reckless, amateurish and dishonest Bush policies.

"With Bush, it's all sizzle and flash; he's the Janet Jackson of anti-terrorism."

<<...It's not just that Bush has done nothing to solve the problem of terrorism; he actually appears to have made it worse.

Prior to 9/11, Clarke had tried in vain for months to get the Bush administration to pay attention to Al Qaeda. Even after 9/11, Bush failed to focus fully on pursuing bin Laden, invading Iraq instead.

The effect of that invasion, Clarke contends in his book Against All Enemies, has been to "inflame Islamic opinion and further radicalize Muslim youth into heightened hatred of America."

That seems borne out by the horrific events in Falluja. We can condemn the perpetrators all we like, but that intense Iraqi hatred of America is clearly linked to the fact that 130,000 U.S. troops are occupying their country...>>
