President George W Bush was facing increasingly blunt criticism of his Iraq policy last night as a US intelligence report suggested that the war has made al-Qa'eda attacks on American soil more likely.

Senator George Voinovich, a close ally of Mr Bush, delivered a withering assessment of the situation in Iraq, declaring that the Bush administration had "f****d up the war".

The Ohio senator revealed that he warned Karl Rove - the President's chief political adviser - last week that Mr Bush must devise a new plan for Iraq or he would vote with Democrats on Capitol Hill to withdraw troops from Iraq.

He spoke out as a declassified National Intelligence Estimate of the terrorist threat to the US indicated that the Iraq war has helped al-Qa'eda "raise resources and to recruit and indoctrinate operatives, including for homeland attacks".

1. That's because Iraq is a real training camp for Al-Qaeda.

2. He won't listen. He's like Hitler in the bunker in the last days, totally disconnected from reality.

Sorry for violating Godwin's Law, but the Law won't survive around Bush for much longer.

3. Oh, really, George?

"The Ohio senator revealed that he warned Karl Rove - the President's chief political adviser - last week that Mr Bush must devise a new plan for Iraq or he would vote with Democrats on Capitol Hill to withdraw troops from Iraq."

Then, why didn't you fricking vote with us last night? He takes the prize for saying the right thing and voting the other way. Go Cheney yourself Voinovich.
