From The New York Times:

"Spy Agencies Say Iraq War Worsens Terror Threat

A stark assessment of terrorism trends by American intelligence agencies has found that the American invasion and occupation of Iraq has helped spawn a new generation of Islamic radicalism and that the overall terrorist threat has grown since the Sept. 11 attacks."

So, now it's official: Our own intelligence agencies confirm that the Bush administration has reduced the nation's security. And remember that the President had a stratospheric approval rating, not only here at home but around the world, in the aftermath of 9/11.

The greatest political debacle in American history? It would surely be difficult to find its equal.
