Iraq war 'has radicalised Muslims'
Press Association


The war in Iraq has radicalised Muslims and acted as a "recruiting sergeant" for extremists, according to a leaked MoD document.

The report by the Defence Academy - an MoD thinktank - "paints a stark picture of failure" on the war on terror, according to BBC's Newsnight programme which has obtained the report.

...

The study said: "The wars in Afghanistan and particularly Iraq have not gone well and are progressing slowly towards an as yet uncertain result.

"The war in Iraq ... has acted as a recruiting sergeant for extremists from across the Muslim world."

It added: "Iraq has served to radicalise an already disillusioned youth and al=Qaeda has given them the will, intent, purpose and ideology to act."

looks like BushCo hit the trifecta...

1. Hell, the Iraq War radicalized me

2. Thats RIght its War, War, War, 24/7

As long as Bushco continues to treat Muslims with the in your face we are the superior power and we will force freedom down your throat attitude, well lets just say I would get a little radicalized myself.

4. I knew this would happen before they ever invaded the place & all I

ever knew about the middle east was what I read about in comic books when I was a kid. Now, years later they have secret reports about it.

Most likely the experts know less than I do/did they probably didn't even read the comic books.
