Chaos
In his State of the Union address to Congress, Bush said: “Chaos is their greatest ally in this struggle. And out of chaos in Iraq would emerge an emboldened enemy with new safe havens, new recruits, new resources, and an even greater determination to harm America.”
It was Bush’s invasion of an oil rich nation, that created the chaos in Iraq, which our troops have been trying to quell. As far as “chaos being al Qaeda’s greatest ally”, Michael Scheuer disagrees. Scheuer is a former senior member of the U. S. intelligence community, who has two decades of experience in national security issues. While with the CIA, he wrote "Imperial Hubris", which explores why terrorists hate us and why Bush’s “policies and actions are bin Laden's only indispensable allies.”
From the moment our troops invaded Iraq, Bush ensured that the enemy would “emerge emboldened with new safe havens, new recruits, new resources, and an even greater determination to harm America.”
Bush did not talked to his earthly father about his decision to invade and occupy Iraq, nor did he seek the advise of his father’s trusted advisor Secretary of State James Baker, who opposed invasion. He disregarded warnings from the national security adviser during the first Gulf War and many others of considerable experience in national security affairs. In order to win the support of Congress, the Bush regime pressured the CIA to falsely report, that Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction including nuclear weapons.
Today, Bush’s saber rattling doesn't work for most Americans, who are outraged at the conduct of the war and oppose its escalation. Nevertheless, a segment of American evangelicals are increasingly united around this war. Bush continues to fired up the faithful with visionary nonsense of a final showdown by insisting: "The challenge playing out across the broader Middle East is more than a military conflict. It is the decisive ideological struggle of our time."
