A weak or so ago a leaked national intelligence estimate that said the war in Iraq was hurting, not helping, in dealing with global terrorism. Why did the intelligence community believe this was true?
How Al Qaeda views a long Iraq war
A letter from Al Qaeda leaders found in Iraq shows that the group sees the war as a boon for its cause.
[A] letter that has been translated and released by the US military indicates that Al Qaeda itself sees the continued American presence in Iraq as a boon for the terror network, which has recently shown signs of expanding into the Palestinian territories and North Africa.
"The most important thing is that the jihad continues with steadfastness ... indeed, prolonging the war is in our interest," says the [letter].
Time to develop a policy that doesn't play into the hands of those who would do us harm.
