That is not what he was saying. He was saying that the whole invasion of Iraq was a strategic blunder that has done nothing to reduce terrorism. Instead, IMO, it has increased the fear and so the threat of terror acts real or imagined. The "yes why not surrender you traitorous dogs" style statement as an alternative to actually admitting that mistakes have been made is used too often and is of little value.
