The new National Intelligence Estimate is coming out. It says Al Qaeda continues to plan to attack us here in this country, and their allies in Iraq will help them. Further, U.S. military war-gamers, though not necessarily agreeing with the Bush administration on every point, do acknowledge today that bloodshed will greatly increase in the event of an American withdrawal. Even the head of the UN agrees that "great caution" must be taken in any thinking about a pullout.
Democrats such as Senate majority leader Harry Reid, meanwhile, have failed to deal with the above issues. Here's an excellent example---read how Senator Reid completely fails to address the question of will the Iraqi people be safer if the U.S. leaves.
Meanwhile, there's good news from Iraq. In Diyala, tribal leaders vow to begin battling Al Qaeda. The Fighting 6th Marines in Iraq's Anbar province say they're getting the job done.
And if you too believe we should wait until September, you're not alone---51% of Americans agree. And overall, the most recent National Intelligence Estimate suggests that Bush administration policies concerning the war on terror are working---details and analysis here.
