[ A report by the Oxford Research Group (ORG) said a "fundamental re-think is required" if the global terrorist network is to be rendered ineffective....Paul Rogers, the report's author and professor of global peace studies at Bradford University in northern England...described the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq as a "disastrous mistake" which had helped establish a "most valued jihadist combat training zone" for al Qaeda supporters. ]

You give him too much credit. I guess simply handing our weapons to enemies of the world was too easy. Wait, that's what he's doing. He should of just burned all the billions and we would at least still have not provided terrorists with a playground to maim, kill and practice.

Well, my brother, during the actual Iraqi Freedom war was running raids on terrorist training camps all the time. He said they were flying all over Iraq to thin out these camps. Have you ever been there? The whole region is a good place for terrorist training camps. And if we had not gone in, do you think no terrorists would be training in Iraq. Instead of reading one thing, and making a solid decision on that, read alot, or talk to peopl who have been there. The news sells negative media, because negative press sells better. Don't just scratch the surface, dig for the truth!

it extremely is the element, they're there because of the fact people. And we've not got the rationalization to bypass back to Somalia (different than C-130s) different than monitoring down the terrorists. Iraq has oil. And we can not bypass trapezing by using in spite of u . s . we sense like as quickly as we stumble on that Al-Qaeda could be there. they're sovereign countries, and quickly sufficient the UN will replace into irked sufficient at us that they are going to do something to us. suitable now, we are attempting to kill a mouse with a sledgehammer. we could desire to get some mouse traps. (i.e. strengthen our secret agent-game) Afghanistan, that replace right into a competent call interior the conflict on terror. Iraq replace into no longer.

In years gone by, we were Saddam's ally in his war with Iran, that's after we were allies of the shaul of Iran. DUH! While an ally with Iraq I am sure we helped build many training grounds for Saddam. I am also sure he used those same training grounds to prepare for his wars with georgie I & II. When you think about it, it is ironic.

the wording of the report tells you that the training camp was a side effect of the invasion, not because a training camp was something bush intended to create.

The Oxford Research Group is an out of touch liberal think tank that has no idea what they are talking about.
Iraq is a civil war, not a terrorist training ground. It may be a stupid war, but lets not make it what it is not.
