[politics] News Flash! Bush Lies!

President explicitly links 9/11 and Iraq!

"In a few weeks, our country will mark the four-year anniversary of the attacks of September the 11th, 2001. On that day, we learned that vast oceans and friendly neighbors no longer protect us from those who wish to harm our people," Bush said [in his weekly radio address]. "And since that day, we have taken the fight to the enemy," he said.

Yet again, more evidence that the mendacity of this administration knows no bounds. If we were taking the fight to the enemy, we'd have Bin Laden's head on a stick now. Instead, here it is four years later and we're pouring blood and money down the rathole that Iraq is becoming, and we're trickling away blood and money in the rathole Afghanistan is becoming. In other news, water is still wet.
