the NY times today recently published a story about how the war in iraq has in fact, increased terrorist groups and their threat to our country.
what do you think of this? do you think we should leave or do we still have a legitimate reason for fighting?

Well I mean the Times got their information from the American Intelligance agencies so its not exactly coming from them.

Yes, more terrorists are being created, because none of the government or CIA responsible for the terrorism of 9/11 have yet been brought to justice, but they have alienated so many others who were previously peaceful, that more terrorism occurs.
One very significant point is the depleted uranium in Iraq.
The radiation from the DU shells is causing so much pain and anguish to Iraqis that many of them know they are doomed to die from the cancers thy have caught from the radiation.
So, in order to get rid of the pain, they don't mind killing themselves, and may as well take some of those whom they see responsible with them.
This is why there are so many suicide bombers - because so many people are affected by radiation from the DU weapons, including American soldiers.

There never has been a legitimate reason for fighting in Iraq.The coalition should leave Iraq.
It has no business being there in the first place. It was not authorised by the UN, whose job it is.

Ok... Well at this point getting out of Iraq is a bad idea, infact it is just as bad a plan as having gone in there in the first place, if the "Coalition" troops pull out of the already unstable country that would plunge the country in to choose. The second they pull out it would create a power struggle between the different factions as they try to take control. Until Iraq is stable enough to keep its citacins in check, it would be foolish to leave because that would invite further problems. Of course terrorism is up, when Saddam went into hiding there was no one to keep them out of Iraq and seeing as Americans were going in so would the terrorists. If they hate Americans but can’t bring weapons over to the United States to kill Americans there or to preach hate of the Americans they will go to the place where it is easier (even though they are soldiers).

I can only tell you that i agree with the NY times. I would love it if we could leave and no more American soldiers died. I have a son in the Marines and i dread each day , wondering if today they will send him to Iraq. But i have to say that i also stand behind what America thinks is best. There is so many more knowledgeable people than i am in the government and in the service that i stand behind their decisions.

The NY Times is a treasonous group of liberals. This leaked report is a boat load of crap. If we leave now, the Middle East will be in chaos. We will stay until at least 2009, when President Bush leaves office. Our world and life is at stake. Iraq is where we win or we lose. We must kill terrorists. They have declared war on us and will not stop until we are dead.

First, just a quick comment:
When the NY Times prints stories that hinder or outright hurt our war on terror, they are not "just doing their job" - they are aiding and abetting the enemy.
In answer to your question, this news should come as no surprise to anyone. The Islamic radicals are thugs and murderers - their terror tactics are intended to instill terror and fear into the areas they attack. They haven't a clue of what to do next when a country stands up to them instead of cowering and retreating in fear at their tactics (Spain comes to mind).
No, we should not leave Iraq or Afghanistan until the Muslim people stand up and denounce the murder of innocent men, women and children by the radical and delusional dirt bags who commit these atrocities in the name of their God.
The Islamic Terrorists have repeatedly announced that the world will have to convert to Islam or die. They really hadn't planned on anyone telling them there was also a third option - they can get civilized and tolerant - or they can die.

The NY times is late. That was old news. We should leave but even if we don't, it doesn't matter. The American people will get their revenge when elections come. And hopefully free pretzels.

You shouldn't have gone there from the beginning..Al Qaida never dreamed in going to Iraq in the days of Saddam.

The NYTIMES broke this story some time ago. It isn't getting attention till now for some reason. Blaming the NYTIMES for doing their job is like blaming avian flu on chickens.
