Probably should be on flame

alcaray — 9/3/2004 6:51:06 PM (archived)

But I hate changing venue.

I agreed with the CIA going in (and I continue to agree), that invading Iraq would increase - not decrease - terrorism.

Let me spell that out more clearly: invading Iraq, if the reason for doing so was associated with reducing terrorism, was stupid. It was stupid on the face of it. The CIA pointed out how stupid it was, for anyone who was too stupid to see it for themselves. Folks who explain an increase in terrorism as an expected effect of the war on terrorism are probably in the class of people who were too stupid to see it for themselves and too stupid to listen to the CIA.

Like the CinC who claims to be so good at fighting terrorism.
