"Saddam Hussein and people like him were very much involved in 9/11...."
Liars gallery: George W. Bush, Karl Rove and Robin Hayes (R-NC).
So now, according to GOP flacks, the muted reaction by military in attendance at Bush's failed state-of-the-Iraq-war-debacle speech Tuesday night was due to the "disciplined environment" at Fort Bragg.
It couldn't possibly have anything to do with declining morale in the armed forces because of the "suddenly" growing inurgency and increasingly devastating attacks in Afghanistan and an insurgency in Iraq which, contrary to Vice President Cheney's view, is getting worse?
Or maybe they're just sick of the GOP still trying to erroneously link Saddam Hussein to the 9/11 attacks even though it's been universally accepted and proven that no such link ever existed.
And do you remember when Bush said stuff like: "See, you can't talk sense to the terrorists. You can't negotiate with them"? I do.
Never forget what this war has probably always been about really: not finding WMD, spreading democracy, overthrowing a dictator, fighting the war on terror or any of the million other reasons Bush's has thrown against the wall over the past two years with the hope of getting one to stick. It's about the GOP being able to hook up its corrupt friends.
But despite Karl Rove's outrageous McCarthy-like statements he is right, there are differences between us and them when it comes to fighting terrorism.
