From The British Royal Institute Of International Affairs
Security, Terrorism and The United Kingdom:
[There is no doubt that the situation in Iraq has imposed particular difficulties for the United Kingdom, and for the wider coalition against terrorism. It gave a boost to the al Qaeda network's propaganda, recruitment and fund raising, caused a major split in the coalition, provided an ideal targeting and training area for al Qaeda linked terrorist and deflected resources and assistance that could have been deployed to assist the Karzi government in bringing bin Laden to justice.
Riding pillion with a powerful ally has proved costly in terms of British and United States military lives, Iraqi lives, military expenditure, and the damage caused to the Counter Terrorist Campaign.]
I don't think the "Fight them over there, so we don't have to fight them over here" faulty Bush policy has proven to be effective or protective for the British.
Obviously, there is a correlation between U.S. presence in Iraq, and the utter kaos and civil war like state of Iraq. While the Vice President continues to lie about the war, Claiming that we've are seeing the last throes of insurgents, when the insurgency has grown in numbers and power, refining their bombing skills to accomplish the desecration of even amoured HumV's. There can be no doubt, as the republicans try to float an ammendment (Ros Lehtenen) that would relieve them of responsibility for this mess in Iraq by mandating that the U.S. cannot leave until Iraq is peaceful, which will probably be never, given it's history, and the worsened conditions in Iraq, if passed, thousands more of our young people will die while fighting for democracy in Iraq, as Iraqis sign documents asking us to get out NOW.
This republican effort, obviously being made to hasten our forgetting about trying to get the hell out of there, and end any dialogue from the Democrats who cry out for an end to the pointless war, and the increasing losses of our young men and women. Being in Iraq has, according to the British, and many here at home, made everything worse, for us, for the British and for the Iraqi's.
"Mr. President, where is bin Laden?"
"I don't know where he is, he's hiding. I don't think about him."
The President of the United States talking about the man who killed three thousand people in New York City on September 11, 2001.
