Trends in Global Terrorism Leaked
The first leaks of the latest National Intelligence Estimate, 'Trends in Global Terrorism' have been reported by the NY Times today.
The premise of the classified report is that our war on Iraq has enraged muslims and served as a recruiting tool for moderate muslims, who otherwise would have stayed home and opened a falafel shop.
It seems the country still doesn't understand the danger that we are facing. Huntington wrote in "Clash of Civilizations" that Islam is resurging and believes that they destroyed the Soviet Union. Islamists believe that the United States is weak and can be destroyed too.
Meanwhile we argue amongst ourselves about whether terrorists in Iraq are different than Al Qaeda terrorists, Hamas terrorists, Hezbollah terrorists or Iranian mullah terrorists. They are all the same and they are not terrorists, they are Islamofacists who want to destroy America and impose the caliphate on the world.
Our national leadership still doesn't get it, including the intelligence professionals. They all believe that the war must be fought in Washington conference rooms. They believe that muslim 'hearts and minds' can be won. They believe that the ummah wants modernization and Westernization. They are dead wrong. And if they don't wake from their sleep, they will get us all killed.
