Bush Bungling Increases Terrorism

Bush appointee Larry Diamond, who served as senior advisor to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq in 2004 and is a fellow at the conservative Stanford Hoover Institution, says this about Bush's much-touted "major" speech on the Iraq situation:

"What the speech ignores is the degree to which our intervention in Iraq has stimulated this threat [Al Queda terrorist attacks]. [Bush] fails to acknowledge his own strategic blunders and failures..that have enabled Iraq to become a cesspool of terrorit activity."

Mind you, this is from someone who supported Bush's invasion of Iraq.
