British Foreign Secretary calls Bush's War on Terror "a mistake."

From the Daily Mail:

The concept of a War on Terror where military might was used to try to crush extremist organisations has been 'misleading and mistaken', David Miliband said last night.

The Foreign Secretary suggested that the entire post-9/11strategy has been dangerously counterproductive.

He added it acted as a recruiting sergeant for terror networks rather than dismantling them.

Calling for a more intelligent analysis of the threat posed by fundamentalists, he delivered a damning critique of the current U.S. administration's strategy.

Mr Miliband claimed that the West cannot 'kill its way' out of the threats it faces.
