Palin Links Iraq to 9/11, A View Discarded by Bush

By Anne E. Kornblut
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, September 12, 2008; Page A01

FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska, Sept. 11 -- Gov. Sarah Palin linked the war in Iraq with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, telling an Iraq-bound brigade of soldiers that included her son that they would "defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans."


The idea that Iraq shared responsibility with al-Qaeda for the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, once promoted by Bush administration officials, has since been rejected even by the president himself. On any other day, Palin's statement would almost certainly have drawn a sharp rebuke from Democrats, but both parties had declared a halt to partisan activities to mark Thursday's anniversary.

"America can never go back to that false sense of security that came before September 11, 2001," she said at the deployment ceremony, which drew hundreds of military families who walked from their homes on the sprawling post to the airstrip where the service was held.

1. She creates her own reality, just like Chimpy. You don't need to question it, you just
need to get behind it...because she's purty, and hunts moose.

This is a major Palin boner -- yet another obvious republicon falsehood-bullshit discrepancy from reality that -- if America is lucky -- the press may pounce upon.

How about some accurate truth for a change, republicons?

The facts are plain. Iraq had no 9/11 involvement. No republicon has ever come forward with a shred of evidence about that.

Where's your fact-based evidence, Governor Palin?

6. The problem is most of the people who'll vote for her
...believe the same fantasy and won't hear different.

We are yet again witnessing the enabling of STOOPID by the STOOPID.
