Bush Evokes 9/11 to Bolster Iraq War
Terror Link Used to Rally Skeptical US Public
by Julian Borger in Washington and Rory Carroll in Baghdad


George Bush last night rallied Americans to the cause of the Iraq war, urging them not to forget the lessons of September 11" and arguing the fight was vital to future US security.

Addressing the nation from Fort Bragg military base in North Carolina, President Bush confronted head on America's growing pessimism and uncertainty over the war.

Again and again in his primetime speech, the president attempted to bind the Iraq counter-insurgency to the broader "war on terror" started by the September 11 attacks, trying to rebuild a connection in the public mind that has given way to skepticism about the justification for the invasion.

"This war reached our shores on September 11 2001," Mr Bush said, pointing to links between Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Jordanian extremist thought be behind many of the suicide attacks in Iraq, and Osama bin Laden. "The only way our enemies can succeed is if we forget the lessons of September ... if we abandon the Iraqi people to men like Zarqawi ... and if we yield the future of the Middle East to men like Bin Laden," the president said.

4. I have now read 3
articles besides this one which basically say the same thing: "Spin, spin and more spin".

More spin than the Permanent Press cycle of the dryer.

Thanks for posting, green.

5. Let's Remember the Lessons of September 11th
When you elect an 'effing moron to the Presidency, and he then ignores mutiple and repeated warnings of an impending terrorist attack, bad shit is going to happen.

Lesson Learned.
