Bush: Terrorists use war in Iraq as an 'excuse'



President Bush, in a high-profile speech today, said the war in Iraq did not cause hatred of the United States among radical Muslims, but is an "excuse" used to further the goal of creating an Islamic state across the Mideast. "The hatred of the radicals existed before Iraq was an issue," Bush said. "And it will exist after Iraq is no longer an excuse."

cnn hates freedom, i only quoted them

[Winston]

From that quoted statement in the OP, the guy's right.

Sorry.

[Sava]

Bush is half right... this war will not cause more hatred among RADICAL Muslims.

This war will increase hatred among MODERATE Muslims and Muslims close to becoming Radical.

Basically, this war will create more radical and more fundamentalist Islamists... more terrorists.

Bush is a moron. And so are his supporters. And so is anyone who supports this war.

But you hate freedom by distributing the truth from this source.

One of my friends was married to an Algerian muslim man. After the Iraq invasion, her husband said he wanted to go to Iraq to fight against America. Before that, he never said anything like that. This would seem to indicate that Bush is, yet again, wrong.

edit: clarifying

And Osama Bin Laden must smile to himself every morning about how the US fell into his trap.

Afganistan was bin Laden's trap. It failed.

Iraq is a quagmire of our own making.

to me it indicates that your friend is an idiot.

[chequita guevara]

She married the guy before he made these statements.

She later divorced him, cuz he was abusive.

[C0ckney]

ah, slightly misunderstood there, thought your friend was the geezer, not the bird.

QFT still what you need to really worry about is that this was the whole objective from the start. The hawkish neo-phites, in their ivory towers of intellectual elitism, really thinks that in this scenario the 'good' usa will overcome the 'evil' muslims and this byitself will solve all of amercias social problems and save the world in one fell swoop s.

If this is the kind of thinking that the intilectual elite comes up with - you all should just drop out of uni now and go get real jobs in the real world

War crimes for all of them i say(in the usa and uk) - not just the 'innocent' front man who didn't know any better.

There are some who already hated, there are some who disliked, some that didn't care, some that liked us, and some that loved us. The invasion of Iraq shifted alot of people down a notch from fence siter to disliker and from disliker to hater.
