The BBC has
this story about a new International Institute for Strategic Studies in London report titled "Military Balance" making the (not unsurprising) claim that the George's Excellent Adventure has been a boon to al Qaeda recruiting.
"It is probable that recruitment generally has accelerated on account of Iraq," the report concludes.
"Al-Qaeda has added Iraq to its list of grievances. With Osama Bin Laden's public encouragement, up to 1,000 foreign jihadists may have infiltrated Iraq."
Most. Incompetent. Administration. Ever.
