And yet again:
The insurgency in Iraq continues to baffle the U.S. military and intelligence communities, and the U.S. occupation has become a potent recruiting tool for al Qaeda and other terrorist groups, top U.S. national security officials told Congress yesterday.
"Islamic extremists are exploiting the Iraqi conflict to recruit new anti-U.S. jihadists," CIA Director Porter J. Goss told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

Meanwhile, new CIA Director Porter Goss told the Senate Intelligence Committee the Iraq war was giving terrorists experience and contacts for future attacks, and FBI Director Robert Mueller expressed worry that a sleeper operative in the U.S. may have been in place for years, awaiting orders for an attack.
Sleep tight, kiddies.
Mmmmmm. What will the winger response be:
- "You aren’t going to trust U.S. intelligence, are you?"
- "What are you saying? Are you saying that you love Islamofascists? Well, the why don’t you go join them since you obviously love them so much?" (followed by the K-I-S-S-I-N-G "up in a tree" song)
- "WaPo lies. The truth resides at Powerline and Free Republic."
- "Look! Over there! A professor I never heard of said something really BAD! And Oliver Willis is fat!"
- "It’s Clinton’s fault."
