Funny how an election result suddenly changes the tune of the head of the CIA regarding whether Iraq really is the “Central Front” in the “War on Terror.” What a shock.
CIA Director Michael V. Hayden said yesterday that al-Qaeda remains the single greatest threat to the United States but that Iraq is no longer the central front in the broader war on terrorism.
I’d say the single greatest threat to America is a complete economic collapse leading to massive asset deflation or hyperinflation, or both. But nice to see that at least Iraq isn’t the gold standard anymore among the Bushies as the primary place we need to be in order to fight the “terrists.”
