Calling Bush on his constant need to connect 9-11 with the Iraq war.

In rebuffing calls to bring troops home from Iraq, President Bush on Thursday employed a stark and ominous defense. “The same folks that are bombing innocent people in Iraq,” he said, “were the ones who attacked us in America on September the 11th, and that’s why what happens in Iraq matters to the security here at home.”

And in response to that statement everyone of us with a brain yells "Bullshit"!

There is no question that the group is one of the most dangerous in Iraq. But Mr. Bush’s critics argue that he has overstated the Qaeda connection in an attempt to exploit the same kinds of post-Sept. 11 emotions that helped him win support for the invasion in the first place.

Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia did not exist before the Sept. 11 attacks. The Sunni group thrived as a magnet for recruiting and a force for violence largely because of the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, which brought an American occupying force of more than 100,000 troops to the heart of the Middle East, and led to a Shiite-dominated government in Baghdad.

I have a fantasy, where a reporter just jumps up in the middle of one of Bush's bullshit ladened speeches and tells him to stop lying and that nobody believes him anymore.

"Mr. President, this is Dick Gregory, and I just have to stop you right there. We in the media have tried to demonstrate our patriotism by not calling you on your outlandish lies, but we have had enough! We now know that the American people are smarter then we all thought and they know you are totally full of shit. Now they are tuning out of our programs and looking for their information on the Internet, so I am afraid we are going to have to ask you the questions that we should have asked you years ago. And let me warn you sir, that if you try to spin or lie your way out of the questions we will rise as one and leave this new briefing room and write articles and reports that tell the American people that you are a danger to their freedoms and need to be impeached immediately!"
