Welcome to 201k.com - A Commonwealth Perspective.

Sen. Kennedy's office has put together a sobering fact sheet on the discord between the White House's rhetoric on American security in the wake of George Bush's war in Iraq, and the reality, as reflected in a National Intelligence Estimate which reports the unanimous opinion of every agency in the U.S. intelligence community:

The war in Iraq is fueling Islamic radicalism and terrorism around the world, and this week we learned that all sixteen agencies in the U.S. intelligence community agree on this critical point.

For three years, the Bush administration has repeatedly told the American people that the war in Iraq makes America safer. In fact, on the recent anniversary of 9/11, the President declared that "the world is safer because Saddam Hussein is no longer in power."

Now we have clear evidence -- the unanimous opinion of every agency in the U.S. intelligence community -- that this simply isn't true. Earlier this week, we learned that a National Intelligence Estimate in April makes the case, in no uncertain terms, that the war in Iraq has increased the global threat of terror, and that the "Iraq conflict has become the 'cause celebre' for jihadists."

We can't trust the White House to tell the truth about this report. They've only grudgingly released selected segments. It's up to each of us to sound the alarm about the damage that the President's folly has done to our national security.

The National Intelligence Estimate provides clear evidence to make our case, and we've put together a fact sheet that compares its analysis with the rhetoric of the White House. Use it to make sure everyone you know learns about this breathtaking and sobering report, particularly undecided voters or Republican voters:
