Iraq Is “Latest Battlefield” Because Bush Made It One
Iraq Is “Latest Battlefield” Because Bush Made It One
Bush: “Iraq is the latest battlefield in this war.”
Fact: Before the War, Bush Said Rationale For Iraq War Was To Prevent It From Becoming a Terrorist Training Groud: “Imagine a terrorist network with Iraq as an arsenal and as a training ground, so that a Saddam Hussein could use this shadowy group of people to attack his enemy and leave no fingerprint behind.” [Bush, 11/4/02]
Fact: Now, CIA Report Says Iraq Becoming Prime Location For Training of Al Qaeda Militants; Better Than Afghanistan. “A new classified assessment by the Central Intelligence Agency says Iraq may prove to be an even more effective training ground for Islamic extremists than Afghanistan was in Al Qaeda’s early days, because it is serving as a real-world laboratory for urban combat.”

I’m sorry, I tried to listen but I’ve heard the lies before.
June 28th, 2005 at 8:17 pmI did notice the squares of bullet proof glass positioned around him..
Pretty bad when you can’t even give a speach on your own turf without the use of visible glass..
I watched about one minute then went to the NBA draft, where real news is being made. The reason for the bullet proof glass should be obvious – the military learns how to shoot, and fragging is becoming more and more prevalent.

Couldn’t you see his eyes following the script as it scrolled down? He is a bad reader.
June 29th, 2005 at 7:11 amIs that “the” Jeff Gannon? If so please tell me, how did you manage to spend the night in the White House? And who with?
Regarding the terrorist-training grounds, it’s classic wish fulfillment, which is what this administration specializes in. They are wishing for the worst to justify their continued invasion / Halliburton contracts / “war president” status, and frankly, liberals are wishing for the worst to prove that yes, Virginia, there is a Reality. Good for us all then. The only problem is that there are soldiers re-enlisting and re-enlisting “because it’s there” (i.e. the war) and because their friends are there and they don’t know anything else that’s worth their lives to fight for. We can only say “Never Again,” as if we will ever return to the same circumstances. It will always look different. The next war will always be “the one.”
