The Iraq 9/11 Myth Continues

Bush: “This war reached our shores on September 11, 2001.”

Fact: The bi-partisan 9/11 Commission concluded that there was “no collaborative relationship” between Saddam and al-Qaeda [CNN, 6/17/04]

Fact: The bi-partisan 9/11 Commission found “no credible evidence that Iraq and al-Qaida cooperated on attacks against the United States.” [NewsHour, 6/16/04]

Fact: By invoking 9/11 President Bush is exploiting public confusion about Iraq’s involvement in 9/11. An October 2004 poll found that 75 percent of Bush supporters believe Iraq was providing substantial support to al-Qaida [Program on International Policy Attitudes, 10/21/04]

I can barely withstand seeing him on TV or hearing him speak, but I force myself. Aside from a very uncomfortable 40 minutes, the most irritating part of his -nothing new- speech was his repetitive reference to 9/11, continuing to subtly connect Iraq and 9/11, blurring the facts to the public.
In the end, his emotional final words did not move me. He should feel guilty that his unwarranted, unnecessary, preemptive war of choice has cost the death of 1750 Americans, countless Iraqi citizens, and severely wounded thousands, but his teary-eyes will not compensate for his enormous ego, his arrogance and his blind, divisive stubbornness.
