WHAT IS THE TRUTH.
CLINTON INTERVIEW,
Conservative hit job,
Clinton's fireworks shock Fox anchor.
The fireworks began when Wallace, after leading with several innocuous questions about Clinton's charitable work since the end of his presidency, asked, ``Why didn't you do more to put Bin Laden and al Qaeda out of business when you were president?''

'I want to know how many people in the Bush administration you asked, `Why didn't you do anything about the [attack on the USS] Cole,' '' a furious Clinton retorted. 'I want to know how many people you asked, `Why did .. they fire [White House counterterrorism chief] Dick Clark?' . . . You didn't ask that, did you? Tell the truth, Chris.'' Wallace, he added, was just doing the bidding of ``all of the right-wingers who are attacking me now.''

Mr. Clinton appeared on Fox News Sunday in a combative interview in which he defended his handling of the threat posed by Osama bin Laden and said he “worked hard” to have the al-Qaeda leader killed. They ridiculed me for trying. They had eight months to try, they did not try.

Rice challenges Clinton statements on al-Qaeda fight
The Clinton interview has been the focus of much attention :-
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice challenged statements made by former president Bill Clinton, saying in an interview published Tuesday that
the Bush administration aggressively pursued al-Qaeda even before Sept. 11, 2001.
“What we did in the eight months was at least as aggressive as what the Clinton administration did in the preceding years,” Ms. Rice said during a meeting
with editors and reporters at the New York Post.

Ms. Rice disputed his assessment, that is just flatly false,he “left a comprehensive anti-terror strategy” for incoming officials when he left office.
“We were not left a comprehensive strategy to fight al-Qaeda, ”she told the newspaper,

Mr. Clinton accused host Chris Wallace of a “conservative hit job” and asked: “I want to know how many people in the Bush administration you asked,
‘Why didn't you do anything about the Cole?' I want to know how many people you asked, ‘Why did THEY fire Dick Clarke?'”

Ms. Rice portrayed the departure of former White House anti-terrorism chief Richard Clarke differently,
saying he “left when he did not become deputy director of homeland security.” ( HE IS FIRE NOT HE DEPARTS) that is just flatly false.

Ms. Rice, however, questioned the value of the dialogue. (value of THIS IMPORTANT dialogue)
“I think this is not a very fruitful discussion,” she said. “We've been through it. The 9/11 commission has turned over every rock and we know exactly what they said.”
Now she is covering here head in the mud, we still want to know THRUTH, Tell me about the conspiracy theories of Arabs
and Muslims, The invasion to Iraq has given a huge impetus to a global jihad ,
would they have know that in the first place.Has Iraq war fuelled terrorism?
What is your reaction to US intelligence claims that the invasion and occupation of Iraq has fuelled international terrorism.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH ,CLINTON INTERVIEW.

Osama bin Laden
Al Qaeda was founded in 1988 by CIA & Osama bin Laden to consolidate the international network he established during the Afghan war. Its goals were the advancement of Islamic revolutions throughout the Muslim world and repelling foreign intervention in the Middle East.

Bin ladenBin Laden, son of a billionaire Saudi businessman, became involved in the fight against the Soviet Union’s invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, which lasted from 1979 to 1988 and ended with a Soviet defeat at the hands of international militias of Muslim fighters backed by the U.S., Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Together with Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood leader, Abdullah Azzam, bin Laden ran one of seven main militias involved in the fighting. They established military training bases in Afghanistan and founded Maktab Al Khidamat, or Services Office, a support network that provided recruits and money through worldwide centers, including in the U.S.

Bin Laden and Azzam had different visions for what to do with the network they had established. Bin Laden decided to found Al Qaeda, based on personal affiliations created during the fighting in Afghanistan as well as on his own international network, reputation and access to large sums of money. The following year Azzam was assassinated. After the war ended, the Afghan-Arabs, as the mostly non-Afghan volunteers who fought the Soviets came to be known, either returned to their countries of origin or joined conflicts in Somalia, the Balkans and Chechnya. This benefited Al Qaeda’s global reach and later helped cultivate the second and third generations of Al Qaeda terrorists.

Following the first Gulf War, Al Qaeda shifted its focus to fighting the growing U.S. presence in the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia, home to Islam’s most sacred shrines. Al Qaeda vociferously opposed the stationing of U.S. troops on what it considered the holiest of Islamic lands and waged an extended campaign of terrorism against the Saudi rulers, whom bin Laden deemed to be false Muslims. The ultimate goal of this campaign was to depose the Saudi royal family and install an Islamic regime on the Arabian peninsula. The Saudi regime subsequently deported bin Laden in 1992 and revoked his citizenship in 1994.

In 1991 bin Laden moved to Sudan, where he operated until 1996. During this period, Al Qaeda established connections with other terror organizations with the help of its Sudanese hosts and Iran. While in Sudan, Al Qaeda was involved in several terror attacks and guerrillaactions carried out by other organizations. In May 1996, following U.S. pressure on the Sudanese government, bin Laden moved to Afghanistan where he allied himself with the ruling Taliban.

Between 1991 and 1996, Al Qaeda took part in several major terror attacks. Al Qaeda was involved in the bombing of two hotels in Aden, Yemen, which targeted American troops en route to Somalia on a humanitarian and peacekeeping mission. It also gave massive assistance to Somali militias, whose efforts brought the eventual withdrawal of U.S. forces in 1994. Bin Laden was also involved in an assassination attempt against Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak in Ethiopia in June 1995. Two major terrorist actions against the U.S. military in Saudi Arabia, a November 1995 attack in Riyadh and the June 1996 Khobar Towers bombing, also fit Al Qaeda’s strategy at the time, but their connection to Al Qaeda is not entirely clear. There is little evidence to suggest a significant connection between bin Laden and the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993.

After moving to Afghanistan, bin Laden escalated his anti-American rhetoric. In an interview with the Independent in July 1996, bin Laden praised the Riyadh and Dhahram attacks on U.S. forces in Saudi Arabia, saying it marked “the beginning of war between Muslims and the United States.” He did not take responsibility for the attacks, but said that “not long ago, I gave advice to the Americans to withdraw their troops from Saudi Arabia.” On August 23, 1996, bin Laden issued Al Qaeda’s first “declaration of war” against America, his “Message from Osama bin Laden to his Muslim brothers in the whole world and especially in the Arabian Peninsula: declaration of jihad against the Americans occupying the Land of the Two Holy Mosques (Saudi Arabia); expel the heretics from the Arabian Peninsula.”

In February 1998 bin Laden and several leading Muslim militants declared the formation of a coalition called the International Islamic Front for Jihad Against the Jews and Crusaders to fight the U.S. Member organizations included Al Qaeda, the Egyptian Islamic Jihad led by Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, the Egyptian Islamic Group, and organizations engaged in Kashmir and Bangladesh. Bin Laden was appointed to head the Front’s council (shura). The militants signed a fatwa (religious opinion) outlining the Front’s ideology and goals. The fatwa was published in a London-based Arabic paper, Al Quds Al Arabi; it called on all Muslims to “kill the Americans and their allies - civilians and military,” wherever they may be.

Subsequently, Al Qaeda escalated its war against the U.S. In August 1998, Al Qaeda bombed two U.S. embassies in East Africa (Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) killing more than 200 people, including 12 Americans. In retaliation, the U.S. attacked targets in Sudan and Afghanistan. In October 2000, Al Qaeda bombed the U.S.S. Cole, an American guided-missile destroyer at Aden, Yemen, killing 17 American servicemen. It committed its most devastating attack on September 11, 2001, when 19 Al Qaeda operatives hijacked four passenger planes and drove two into the Twin Towers in New York City and one into the Pentagon; a fourth plane crashed in rural Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the attack.

The Iraq Conflict ,
Change the course of debate on Iraq.
Invading Iraq was an error Mistake.
It encourage terrorism , fuels terror.
YES YES THAT RIGHTS !!
The Iraq conflict has become a "cause celebre" for Islamic militants worldwide,
declassified parts of a US intelligence report say.
The leaked excerpts from the report were first published by the New York Times on Sunday, and that the entire report should be declassified.

The war has helped recruit "supporters for the global jihadist movement,
It has made the world a more dangerous place,
Although Jihadistsa is small percentage of Muslims,
are increasing in both number and geographic dispersion ,
The true is "The Iraq Jihad is shaping a new generation of terrorist leaders and operatives,"
It adds that the conflict had bred "a deep resentment of US involvement in the Muslim world" and that "perceived jihadist success there would inspire more fighters to continue the struggle elsewhere".

Other key points include:

• Militants, although a small percentage of Muslims, are increasing in both number and geographic dispersion

• If this trend continues, threats to US interests globally will become more diverse leading to increased attacks
with series of blasts worldwide

• Militants consider Europe an important venue for attacking Western interests

• The loss of key leaders in rapid succession would probably fracture al-Qaeda
into smaller groups that would pose, at least for a time, a less serious threat to US interests.
HAVE YOUR SAY
The invasion has given a huge impetus to a global jihad .
That is A laying not True that , Mr Bush has consistently dismissed such reasoning in the past,
arguing that Islamic militants had hated the US long before it invaded Iraq or Afghanistan.
Quite frankly, my view is that any responsible declassification will change the course of this debate on Iraq.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

US Democrats have urged the Bush administration to release in full a report which finds that US involvement in Iraq has fuelled global terrorism.
Senators said parts of the intelligence report declassified on Tuesday did not give Americans enough information.

President George W Bush released excerpts after leaks to the US media.

Correspondents say the excerpts give some comfort to the White House, saying that victory in Iraq would be a big blow to the enemy.

Mr Bush has accused those behind the leak of trying to mislead the American public for political purposes ahead of congressional elections in November.

But Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has also added to the dispute, saying in an interview for CNN that he stood by remarks in his new book that he opposed the invasion because he feared it would encourage terrorism.

"I've stated whatever I had to ... it has made the world a more dangerous place," he said.

'New generation'

The National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) report is a collection of the view of all 16 US intelligence agencies.

The released excerpts contain ammunition for both sides in the debate over Iraq, the BBC's Justin Webb in Washington notes.

But Democrat Senators Edward Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and Carl Levin said the public needed to know more from the report and accused the administration of selective declassification.

"The American people deserve the full story, not those parts of it that the Bush administration selects. President Bush should declassify the entire NIE," Senator Kennedy said.

They also called for a briefing behind closed doors with John Negroponte, the director of national intelligence.

Meanwhile, a Democrat proposal for a secret session of the House of Representatives to give lawmakers the chance to discuss the report was voted down.

Congresswoman Jane Harman said there was a second NIE focused purely on Iraq.

"I hear it paints a grim picture," she said. "And because it does, I am told it is being held until after the November elections."

'Mistake'

The leaked excerpts from the report were first published by the New York Times on Sunday.

Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, Mr Bush condemned the leak, calling his critics "naive".

Declassification would let people judge the document for themselves," he said.

"I think it's a mistake for people to believe that going on the offensive against people that want to do harm to the American people makes us less safe," he added.

Mr Bush has consistently dismissed such reasoning in the past, arguing that Islamic militants had hated the US long before it invaded Iraq or Afghanistan.

Our correspondent says the report gives backing to the White House view that a victory in Iraq would be a big prize with fewer enemy fighters inspired to carry on.

There is also mention of real successes against al-Qaeda.

But the overall picture, including the assertion that the Iraq conflict has become a cause celebre for jihadists, is not terribly comforting for Mr Bush and could be a setback in the elections, our correspondent adds.

Other key points of the report include:

Militants, although a small percentage of Muslims, are increasing in both number and geographic dispersion
If this trend continues, threats to US interests globally will become more diverse leading to increased attacks worldwide
Militants consider Europe an important venue for attacking Western interests
The loss of key leaders in rapid succession would probably fracture al-Qaeda into smaller groups that would pose, at least for a time, a less serious threat to US interests.

Has Iraq war fuelled terrorism?
What is your reaction to US intelligence claims that the invasion and occupation of Iraq has fuelled international terrorism.

President George W Bush agreed to release parts of the report following earlier leaks to the US media but the Democrats have called for it to be issued in full.

Declassified sections say that the invasion and occupation of Iraq has spawned a new generation of Islamic radicalism that has spread across the globe.

However, Mr Bush has accused those behind the leak of trying to mislead the American public for political purposes.

What is your reaction to President Bush's speech? Should the report have been declassified? Should it be released in full? Has the occupation of Iraq has fuelled international terrorism?
