The Gate: Obama Identifies Iraqi 'Blowback' (07/13/07)

Link: The Gate: Obama Identifies Iraqi 'Blowback' (07/13/07).

"The decision to authorize and fight a misguided war in Iraq also created a new cadre of experienced terrorists bent on the destruction of the United States and our allies. The recent attacks in Britain are likely only the beginning of an Iraqi 'blowback,' which may haunt us for years to come. Since we invaded Iraq, the number of Islamic extremist terrorist attacks (excluding those in Iraq and Afghanistan) has risen by 35 percent worldwide." Americans, he argued, "are less secure than we were on 9/11."
