National Intelligence Estimate: Because Of Iraq, Bush Is Losing The War On Terror

by Brent Budowsky

There should be a national outcry and national demand that the Senate Intelligence Committee immediately release the full text of its latest report, now being covered up until after the election, about whether and when false statements were made by Administration officials regarding pre-war Iraq intelligence.

Every Republican Senator now running for reelection should be challenged in their hometown newspapers and in public meetings, and should be opposed in November if they support the continued cover-up in light of this latest bombshell from the National Intelligence Estimate.

Every Republican running for reelection in the House should be defeated unless they publicly demand that the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth be told to the American people NOW, by both Intelligence Committees.

The enormous implication of the National Intelligence Estimate recently leaked boils down to this: because of the extreme and deadly consequences of the Iraq War, President Bush is losing the war against terror...

What is happening now, ladies and gentlemen, is that on a wide range of issues tied to the grave mistakes of this war there is enormous, widespread disagreement from our military commanders about the direction and course of this policy, and from our intelligence leaders and personnel, who flat-out believe that this war is hurting our security, our country, and our war against terrorism.

In our America, it is the truth that sets us free.

It is high time, and long overdue, that our government tell the truth to our people, and the truth is, that this policy has made our country less safe, less secure, less strong, less respected in the world, and that the greatest winners in this war are the terrorist recruiters and the politicians in Washington who try to exploit a war, for political gain, that hurts our troops, and as suggested by our intelligence services, helps our enemy.

Brent Budowsky served as Legislative Assistant to U.S. Senator Lloyd Bentsen, responsible for commerce and intelligence matters, including one of the core drafters of the CIA Identities Law.

1. classic guns and butter

The boundaries of the narrative, one one extreme, authority, impressing its
police will, the prison industrial complex seeking 100% of the public wallet share
as "guns"... and private life, liberty and civil society stand in opposing contrast
as expenditure on soft infrastructure "butter".

And when economic planners screw around, they move the lever too far towards guns, and
everyone suffers. The consensus to guns is global, like a magnetic field, pulling
every nation to arms build up and to prepare to terrorize and torture like the US does.
Not satisfied with knowing better, they instead wonder if its really true that you
can't eat bullets.

2. Much of this infor was included in the Iraq withdrawal plan submitted last

April and again in June by John Kerry.

I'd bet that BushInc withheld this report from Congress BECAUSE it confirmed the points Kerry made in his withdrawal plan.

3. Neocons are busily implementing their RW PNAC agenda, not winning

the fight against terrorism, or so it would seem.
