Democratic Senator Argues Jordan Attacks Linked to Iraq War

In an interview with ABC News, Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wisc., said the deadly attacks on hotels in Amman are "the whirlwind that we are reaping if we don't end the extreme ground involvement that we have in Iraq."

"What's happening in Iraq is that we have created the ultimate breeding ground for the terrorist network," Feingold said. "This is what the head of the CIA, Porter Goss, has said. And we just saw terrible evidence last week in what happened in Jordan. Iraqis — who clearly were not involved with al Qaeda prior to our invasion — were trained by Zarqawi, a Jordanian, to leave Iraq and kill allies of ours in Jordan."

Feingold, who is considering a presidential run in 2008, has unequivocally opposed the Iraq war, and at times taken on his fellow Democrats over the issue.
