President Bush's phony "War on Terror" fails miserably

By Dennis Zaki - After the latest government analysis titled "Al-Qaida better positioned to strike the West" was released yesterday there is no other conclusion that can be reached, George Bush's "War on Terror" is a miserable failure.

After the latest government analysis titled Al-Qaida better positioned to strike the West was released yesterday there is no other conclusion that can be reached, George Bush's War on Terror is a miserable failure.

With nearly 1 million dead Iraqi's, over 3,600 dead American soldiers, the torture of suspects, the trashing of our Constitution, and the billions of dollars flushed down the toilet, what has he accomplished? Absolutely nothing.

From the government report: Al-Qaida is "considerably operationally stronger than a year ago" and has "regrouped to an extent not seen since 2001"

"They are showing greater and greater ability to plan attacks in Europe and the United States."

Delusional

John Edwards said Thursday "The president's remarks today defending his Iraq policy without regard to actual facts border on the delusional," Edwards said in a statement, hours after a Bush press conference. "The president claimed that the same people attacking U.S. troops today are the ones who perpetrated 9/11."

"It must be nice to live in a world where your actions have no consequences," Edwards said. "There was no group called Al Qaeda in Iraq before the president's disastrous mismanagement of the war gave them a foothold, a fact the president flagrantly ignores."

Big lie in May 2003

"Al-Qaeda is on the run. That group of terrorists who attacked our country is slowly, but surely being decimated. Right now, about half of all the top al-Qaeda operatives are either jailed or dead. In either case, they're not a problem anymore. And we'll stay on the hunt. To make sure America is a secure country, the al-Qaeda terrorists have got to understand it doesn't matter how long it's going to take, they will be brought to justice. " - President George Bush

Dick Durbin zero progress in Iraq

"We've been told over and over again we can't expect a military victory in Iraq; it will take a political victory for us to finally see stability," Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said at a Capitol Hill press conference Thursday. "And yet, as the benchmark assessment reports tell us, there's little evidence of political progress in Iraq today, and certainly more violence and more death."

Hillary Clinton - "strategy in Iraq is failing"

Hillary Clinton said Bush's report was an attempt to "put the best face on a failed strategy."

"Even the President's own portrait cannot paint over the reality on the ground: our strategy in Iraq is failing," Clinton said in a prepared statement.
