As suspected, the ring of terrorism extends to many nations. The call by some in Congress, such as US Rep. John Murtha deny that Iraq is more than the U.S. creating terrorists and that withdrawl will lead to peace. According to Rep. John Murtha:
“Our military’s done everything that has been asked of them,” he said. “The U.S. cannot accomplish anything further in Iraq militarily. It’s time to bring the troops home.”
Apparently terrorists are being recruited and sent from Belgium. Belgian authorities are investigating if a Belgian women was involved in an attack in Iraq. They are being careful because of fake Belgian passports have been used previous. Yet in another article from the Jamestown Foundation comes some specific information about the hub of terrorism following arrests in Morocco.
The current Moroccan investigations focused in particular on the role of Belgium. One of the leaders of the arrested group is considered to be Mohamed R’ha, a Belgian national of Moroccan ancestry, one of the operatives who had returned from ideological training in Syria to recruit members.
The democratic leadership continues to spew and spin on this topic. One time they want immediate withdrawl because nothing more can be done. Today, f0llowing the President’s speech outlining the course and progress being made. Outside the Beltway has more on the speech itself.
The debate is not about “an artificial date for withdrawal,” Kerry said. For Democrats, it’s about “an estimated timetable for success,” he said.
No one has ever suggested that we should “run in the face of car bombers or assassins,” Kerry said, referring to a line in Bush’s speech. “No one is talking about running in face of a challenge; we’re talking about how to win, how to succeed, how to best achieve our goals. That’s the choice here,” Kerry said.
Contrast these words with the truth of past statements and Kerry’s comments are ridiculous at best. Lieberman however had more sense and spoke much more truthfully despite his own parties plans to ignore the truth.
In the meantime, Europe continues to be established as a hub for terrorism. The Brussels Journal says that this fact has been known for a long time and infact has kept it secret. Seems like the ‘jihadist’ is out of the bag now.
