Even the Unclassified Report Shows Bush has Failed Us.

Okay, let’s say a classified report is leaked to the press that says your occupation in Iraq is doing nothing but making us unsafe. You have a few options here, you can say it is not true and that those that believe what the news is telling then is a terrorist. You can also release the report because lets face if, it is not true, no better way to prove it than to unclassified it and prove your right. You also have a third option, to make an unclassified version of the report available and because you control the info, only include the parts that make you look good.

Well the Bush administration, and the Republicans that shield him, tried option one, smear those that believe what they see, but the American people are just not as gullible as they once were. So the Republicans moved to option 3, because the unclassified version (option 2) of the report would be murder to the Administration story. Today the Bush Administration released an unclassified, cherry picked, version of the NIE document, but here is what is so odd, it is just as damming! This is the cherry picked shit, and it makes this administration look like a boob at best.

From the unclassified NIE

• The Iraq conflict has become the ?cause celebre? for jihadists, breeding a deep resentment of US involvement in the Muslim world and cultivating supporters for the global jihadist movement. Should jihadists leaving Iraq perceive themselves, and be perceived, to have failed, we judge fewer fighters will be inspired to carry on the fight.
• The loss of key leaders, particularly Usama Bin Ladin, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and al-Zarqawi, in rapid succession, probably would cause the group to fracture into smaller groups. Although like-minded individuals would endeavor to carry on the mission, the loss of these key leaders would exacerbate strains and disagreements. We assess that the resulting splinter groups would, at least for a time, pose a less serious threat to US interests than does al-Qa?ida.
• The increased role of Iraqis in managing the operations of al-Qa?ida in Iraq might lead veteran foreign jihadists to focus their efforts on external operations.

Guys, "external operations" is Bush speak for BLOW YOUR ASS UP AT HOME!!! Bush has not made us safer, he says it himself!

Go and read it, it is only 4 pages.
