  1. Bush says report backs claim terrorist forces are weaker

    ...the global jihadist movement…is spreading...

    ...jihadists…are increasing in both number and geographic dispersion.

    ...threats to US interests at home and abroad will become more diverse, leading to increasing attacks worldwide…

    New jihadist networks and cells, with anti- American agendas, are increasingly likely to emerge.

    ...the Iraq jihad is shaping a new generation of terrorist leaders and operatives…

    ...the underlying factors fuelling the spread of the movement outweigh its vulnerabilities...

    Al-Qaeda…is exploiting the situation in Iraq to attract new recruits…

    ...extremist organizations … are likely to expand their reach and become more capable…

    Anti-US and anti-globalization sentiment is on the rise...

    The radicalization process is occurring more quickly, more widely, and more anonymously in the Internet age, raising the likelihood of surprise attacks...

    Is the report on BBC the same as the one that Bush read? :-)

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
