Kerry on NIE: Must withdraw from Iraq. WH playing into terrorists' hands.

[blm]

“The National Intelligence Estimate provides jarring confirmation that the disastrous policy in Iraq is weakening our hand in the war on terror.

Terrorist organizations from Al Qaeda to Hezbollah are thrilled that we are bogged down in Iraq, even as the Administration misleads America with fear and sloganeering.


No matter how much the administration pretended otherwise, as we were debating a Senate resolution to change course on Iraq, our intelligence agencies were telling this Administration that America is less safe and more endangered by terrorists because of the failed stay-the-course policies in Iraq.

“The truth is clear: Rather than being the central front in the war on terror President Bush claims, Iraq is a fuel depot for terror, fanning the flames of worldwide jihadism. Their arrogance, incompetence, and ideological blindness has left us with more terrorists in the world who want to kill Americans.

“Make no mistake, there is no way to regain lost ground in the war on terror without redeploying out of Iraq and making Iraqis stand up for Iraq. We must set a deadline to get out of Iraq and refocus on the real war on terror. Every day that this Administration refuses to face facts and change their failed approach in Iraq is another day they play into the hands of the terrorists.”

1. This Should Be The Rallying Call for DEM

Kerry says it well......."WH playing into terrorists' hands"

This should be changed to.......REPUBS are playing into terrorists' hands

[blm]

4. Harry Reid should let Kerry and Feingold resubmit withdrawal plan based on

the evidence in this report.

This report first came out in April when Kerry submitted a withdrawal plan, and BushInc probably kept it buried because all the points Kerry made for why we needed to leave were IN THE REPORT.

Does anyone believe in coincidence anymore with BushInc?

13. I like that idea

I like the idea of Kerry & Feingold resubmitting a withdrawl plan based on the NIE. They were the first to submit a withdraw plan in the Senate, they should lead the way again. Turn up the heat a few more notches, and no two better Senators to do it. :thumbsup:

2. Unlike the pResident, Kerry probably plays, or has played, some

Chess.

9/11 was designed to get us to do something like Invade Iraq, to get us over a barrel, just trying to hold on, while the real deal goes down elsewhere, read that China.

3. I really hate to be lied to. Thank you, Senator, for getting the truth

out there for all to see.

5. And that Bobble Head continues to say the same thing - "fight them

over there so we don't have to fight them here" (as if there is a finite number of terrorists)


Iraq is now a petri dish for terrorists. Thank you dear fuck head bush.

7. Great point - Bush created the mother of all petri dishes where he spawns

thousands of new terrorists every day.

8. Isn't it rather rude

to destroy another country, so that you don't have to deal with your own problems?

I hate it everytime BushCo says that one.

[blm]

9. Or that Iraq had suffered for decades under a dictator, now let free Iraqi

people have to suffer worse dangers while we lure all the world's terrorists to Iraq where we can fight them and bomb YOUR country, because you've just not suffered enough.

[DoYouEverWonder]

10. The idiot rapture ready Bushbots

don't realize Iraq is Armageddon. Living there is surely worse then hell at this point.

[blm]

11. The endtimers were manipulated into this position for the last 30 years.

12. Good point. It is also cruel and inhumane.

6. K&R for the man who

got the most votes to be president.
