Like a big steaming pile delivered to a neighbor’s door by a petulant little boy, Bush’s disastrous legacy will live on in the form of an increased risk of terrorism.  A recent National Intelligence Estimate notes the increased danger.

“Of note,” the [report] said, “we assess that al-Qaida will probably seek to leverage the contacts and capabilities of al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI), its most visible and capable affiliate and the only one known to have expressed a desire to attack the homeland.”

The [report] also found that al-Qaida’s association with its Iraqi affiliate helps the group to energize the broader Sunni Muslim extremist community, raise resources and recruit and indoctrinate operatives—”including for homeland attacks.”

Lest we forget*, there was NO terrorist threat from elements within Iraq before our ill-begotten invasion. What’s ironic here is that the above quote comes from Breitbart, like Drudge, something of a mouth piece for the populist right. Of course, the article itself fails to note that al Qaida in Iraq DID NOT EXIST prior to 2003, but ah well.

The point is, Bush’s strategy has made us less safe — maybe a lot less safe — than we were before 9-11.

* Apologies to my co-collaborators on this blog, and to answer your question — yes — I’m on a one-man mission to permanently sully this president’s memory and reputation. We lefties simply cannot allow this pea-brain to become, like Reagan, a symbol for the right.
