War on Terror=More Terror
I guess this is what happens when you go to war with a country that had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks on 9/11 and try to make people (like Fox News viewers) believe that it's part of the broader "War on Terror."
According to a classified National Intelligence Estimate the Iraq War has fueled more terrorism:
"A stark assessment of terrorism trends by American intelligence agencies has found that the American invasion and occupation of Iraq has helped spawn a new generation of Islamic radicalism and that the overall terrorist threat has grown since the Sept. 11 attacks.
More recently, the Council on Global Terrorism, an independent research group of respected terrorism experts, assigned a grade of “D+” to United States efforts over the past five years to combat Islamic extremism. The council concluded that “there is every sign that radicalization in the Muslim world is spreading rather than shrinking."
