Iraqi PM: 'Terrorists pouring in' ..... safer? MAYBE FOR TERRORISTS

It's one of the Repulsicans themes that Bush's invasion of Iraq has made us safer... If floods of terrorists into Iraq means "safer", I guess they're right. Safer for whom? THE TERRORISTS.... Here are several paragraphs:

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Iraq's interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi has warned that "terrorists" are flooding into his country from across the Muslim world.

"Terrorists are coming and pouring in from various countries into Iraq to try and undermine the situation in Iraq. They're coming from Afghanistan, Pakistan, from Europe, from Morocco, from Syria and so on.

"Iraq is on the front line of fighting these terrorists. And, God forbid, if Iraq is broken or the will of Iraq is broken, then London would be a target, Washington will be a target, Paris will be a target, Cairo will be a target, as we have seen in the past."

But former British foreign secretary Robin Cook, who resigned from the Cabinet over the Iraq war, disputed that argument. "There were no international terrorists in Iraq until we went in," he told The Times newspaper. "It was we who gave the perfect conditions in which al Qaeda could thrive."

3. think this through, say we win the ''peace''
in iraq....
how many thousands of experienced terrorists who will disappear into the woodwork will we have created?
more importantly -- we have given each one of them experienced information that they can take to where ever they show up next.
george, this is one fine mess you've gotten us into.
too bad you're too immature and stupid to get us out.
