What War on Terror?
The top NSC official in the terror war has resigned, amid frustration among the intelligence community that the war on Iraq is handicapping their efforts, according to this UPI article, linked by Matt Welch. A quote from a former US intelligence official: "We have sacrificed a war on terror for a war with Iraq….This just reflects the widespread thought that the war on terror is being set aside for the war with Iraq at the expense of our military and intel resources and the relationships with our allies."

Thanks, Sara!
D'oh: I've now added the UPI link to the original post.
What a dickweed. What we are doing is going down the laundry list of people that said they were going to destroy us, but unlike Osama we are listening and acting this time on the threat. Oh, and as an army guy recently told me, its not a war, unless your selling newspapers its not war, get it right.
