by Brent Budowsky | Jul 18 2007
It is repeated today by Republicans on the floor of the Senate and restated on this site, only yesterday, and it goes like this:
The Democrats have an al Qaeda problem, and this war, which was started with the Big Lie that claimed it was necessary to defeat bin Laden, must be continued to promote the Big Lie that to change the policy would help the terrorists, when the exact opposite is true.
How odd that the title of Al Gore's brilliant film, "An Inconvenient Truth," is used to repeat this falsehood, when Gore's brilliant book, The Assault on Reason, was the most sweeping and devastating destruction of this lie that created 3,600 Gold Star Mothers and allowed bin Laden to escape, regroup and gain strength.

George Bush's Big Lie is based on the deadly falsehood that something has gone terribly and tragically wrong and we should continue it, and escalate it, and repeat the catastrophes in even larger ways, with ever greater death, and even greater damage to our military and our spirit.
No, Democrats do not have an al Qaeda problem.
America has an al Qaeda problem, and the reason is George W. Bush, who lacked the vigilance before Sept. 11, and then shamefully exploited Sept. 11 for a policy of delusion and destruction that the American people, and our friends throughout the free world, want ended here, now, once and for all.
