David Duke’s CommentsOnce again the truth emerges. The so-called “War on Terror” has only increased it. Before the Iraq War even began many political voices including my own stated that the war was not about making us safer from terrorism, but simply about pursuing Israel’s Mideast strategic objectives and America be damned. I, Patrick Buchanan and many others warned that the war would only make America more hated all over the world but would cause great numbers of Americans to suffer injury or death. In fact, the Bush administration, firmly under the control of the radical Jewish Neocons, has created a tragedy for America at least ten times worse than 9/11. About ten times more Americans have either been wounded or killed in Iraq as died in 9/11. More than 28,000 have been wounded or killed in Iraq, ten times than the 2800 who died in the 9/11 attacks. These American men and women have been sacrificed in the sands of Iraq not for America — but for Israel. That must rank as one of the greatest betrayals of American fighting men in our history.

WASHINGTON – A State Department report on terrorism due out next week will show a nearly 30 percent increase in terrorist attacks worldwide in 2006 to more than 14,000, almost all of the boost due to growing violence in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. officials said Friday.

The annual report’s release comes amid a bitter feud between the White House and Congress over funding for U.S. troops in Iraq and a deadline favored by Democrats to begin a U.S. troop withdrawal.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her top aides earlier this week had considered postponing or downplaying the release of this year’s edition of the terrorism report, officials in several agencies and on Capitol Hill said.
