repeat after me, iraq had nothing to do with 9/11
The Post today shows poll numbers showing so-called security moms are turning their collective backs on the de facto Bush Administration, and at the moment (terror attacks and rigged elections permitting) would support the Democrats in elections.
That's good. Security moms have been blind to a couple of basic facts. First, unless they were filthy rich, the Repugnicans are doing NOTHING to help them economically. And second, even on security the GOP has not gotten it right.
But one thing they have done of course is implant the lie among unknowing or unthinking Americans that Iraq was some how connected to the attacks of September 11, 2001. Repeat after me: Iraq was NOT behind 9/11. Iraq was NOT connected to 9/11. Iraq was NOT friendly to Osama Bin Laden or Al Qaeda. In fact, secularist nationalist Saddam and religious pan-Islamist Bin Laden were at opposite extremes of political thought, like Stalin and Hitler.
Please remember, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. We haven't taken care of terrorist by invading Iraq, instead we allowed some terrorists in Afghanistan to escape by switching focus to Iraq in 2002. And we have created new anti-American terrorists in a place that otherwise hadn't been a hotbed of anti-US terrorism.
Good job.

You are so "Right On"!! It is beyond my comprehension how otherwise intelligent, thinking people still believe that old lie. Guess, if they still believe the big lie about WMD, I shouldn't be surprised that they believe this one also. I live in the middle of Bush's hotbed of support. I see the stupidity of his supporters every day. 'Tis a sad world we live in.
