Bush's Iraq-terrorism link faces skeptical US public
"The only way our enemies can succeed is if we forget the lessons of September 11." - Bunnypants, 6/28/05. Or if you ignore your National Security advisor's reports entitled Bin Laden determined to strike within the US, then invade a country that wasn't even responsible. Asshat.

"Clearly a political decision has been taken in the White House that the only way that they can regain momentum is by going back to the sort of primal source of their support, September 11," said David Rothkopf, a terrorism expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.


"I think it is just unvarnished demagoguery," he said.

In an editorial, the New York Times said "we had hoped he would resist the temptation to raise the bloody flag of 9/11 over and over again to justify a war in a country that had nothing whatsoever to do with the terrorist attacks."

"The president, who is going to be in office for another three and a half years, cannot continue to obsess about self-justification and the need to color Iraq with the memory of 9/11. The nation does not want it and cannot afford it."
