Wrong as usual: U.S. Figures Show Sharp Global Rise In Terrorism
State Dept. Will Not Put Data in Report

The number of serious international terrorist incidents more than tripled last year, according to U.S. government figures, a sharp upswing in deadly attacks that the State Department has decided not to make public in its annual report on terrorism due to Congress this week.

Overall, the number of what the U.S. government considers "significant" attacks grew to about 655 last year, up from the record of around 175 in 2003, according to congressional aides who were briefed on statistics covering incidents including the bloody school seizure in Russia and violence related to the disputed Indian territory of Kashmir.

Saddam was a secular dictator who hated extremist Muslim terrorist groups, such as Abu Nidal. Salman Pak was a training camp for COUNTER-TERRORISM. Chimp removed Saddam as a grudge match and a resource grab, nothing else. Chimp didn't give a rat's ass if there was any WMDs or affiliation with Al Qaida, we all know that.
