The 9-11 excuse

It is starting to pick up speed again.

Scott McClellan is using it, there is no doubt Bush will roll it out at Ft. Bragg.

Administration officials are also bringing back talk of 9/11 in an apparent effort to renew the link in some people's minds between Iraq and the 2001 terrorist attacks on the US. On the eve of the US-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003, part of the administration's argument was that Iraq was the central front in the war on terror.


So, exactly, what is the evidence that points to Iraq being 'the central front in the war on terror'? How , exactly, is Iraq or Saddam related to the 9-11 attacks? Why do they keep trotting out this false excuse?

It is a clear indicator that there is no justification for their acts, and that they have only the fear they can create to hide behind. It takes amazing courage (or profound stupidity) to go back and keep trying to replay the same lies over and over again. This is just another point that clearly indicates a total lack of justification for the war.

Another sad reality is clearly exposes by the administration's continued use of fear to cover up their failings, is it works.

Good point.

Last fall we had terror alerts ever couple of weeks, since the election none.

They control by using fear.
