Linking Iraq with 9/11

With war worries growing, the president evokes the attacks of 2001 in a speech he hopes will rally support

FORT BRAGG, N.C. -- In the past, when sagging polls have put President George W. Bush in trouble, he has invoked the event that shaped his presidency to confront critics and rally public support, the Sept. 11 attacks.

He did it again last night, wrapping the Iraq war in the mantle of 9/11 to reject calls for an exit timetable and appeal for patience from an increasingly skeptical public. Never forget "the lessons of September the 11th," Bush warned, or risk handing victory in Iraq to the likes of Osama bin Laden.

It was Bush's most direct and high-profile link between Iraq and Sept. 11 since winning re-election -- and as usual, he failed to mention that the Sept. 11 commission found no credible evidence linking the former Iraqi government of Saddam Hussein and the 2001 terror attacks.

2. I'll say it again

Bush* "went to the well" once too often last night, and, maybe too blatantly for the MSM to quietly swallow.

They are calling him out on it this morning and exposing his lying evil ass for all the world to see.

Finally!

3. Osama ate my legacy

because of these heinous attacks, I have forced myself to be one of the worst presidents in history. I hope you'll join with me in prayer that you won't lose confidence in me...


Will the sheeple never get sick of this? How many times does he get a free pass by invoking God/9-11/or the flag?

4. The true "sheeple" will not tire of Bush. They characterize him as

a savior and only subscribe to versions applicable to that end.

For the truly faithful only an intervention will force them to even listen to the truth.

5. He's been doing that for so long now

Making the oh so subtle reference of 9/11 and Iraq in the same breath, without tacitly saying Iraq was involved in 9/11, but planting the seed in the psyche of the American people that they are related somehow.

To an extent it has worked, but people are finally seeing through the smokescreen...
