LGF – Expert Says Iraq Will Become ‘Terrorist Disneyland,’ Dems Say ‘So What?’

Terrorism expert Rohan Gunaratna says if the US leaves Iraq in its current state, it will become “a terrorist Disneyland.”

Honestly, if this keeps up, we’ll need a whole new stock of emoticons. I’m going to need one rolling its eyes, one slack jawed with disbelief, and one quaking with fear.

A U.S. troop pullout from Iraq would leave the country as a potent launchpad for international terrorism and Washington would be forced to go back in within a couple of years, a leading al Qaeda expert said on Tuesday.

Rohan Gunaratna told a security conference at Lloyd’s of London insurance market that Iraq, like Afghanistan in the 1990s, would become a “terrorist Disneyland” where al Qaeda could build up its strength unchallenged.

At least the insurance companies are paying attention. But then when Disneyland burns Congress will pass a law punishing them for their caution. It’s good to be in politics.

There’s more, read the rest, my head is killing me.
