"If we were to allow our enemies to prevail in Iraq, the violence that is now declining would accelerate and Iraq could descend into chaos," Bush said. "Al-Qaida would regain its lost sanctuaries and establish new ones fomenting violence and terror that could spread beyond Iraq's borders, with serious consequences to the world economy.... but is there any way to read this as something other than a damning indictment of W's failed policies?
"Out of such chaos in Iraq, the terrorist movement could emerge emboldened with new recruits ... new resources ... and an even greater determination to dominate the region and harm America," Bush said in his remarks. "An emboldened al-Qaida with access to Iraq's oil resources could pursue its ambitions to acquire weapons of mass destruction to attack America and other free nations. Iran could be emboldened as well with a renewed determination to develop nuclear weapons and impose its brand of hegemony across the broader Middle East. And our enemies would see an American failure in Iraq as evidence of weakness and lack of resolve."
[Bush says Iraq war was worth it, 18 Mar 2008]
W here confesses his belief that after six-and-a-half years in the so-called GWOT, and five years fighting on the central front of the war on terror (that would be Iraq for those of you not paying attention), Iraq is a failed state, and the enemy is more powerful than ever and threatening to become more powerful still!
W's own words convict him.
Stop the madness!
