We Were Attacked by Al Queda
On September 11, 2001, we were attacked by Osama Bin Ladin and his terrorist network: Al Queda. The Bush administration took their eyes off the ball, plunged us into a war of choice in Iraq, all the while Osama Bin Ladin remains at large. As for Al Queda, the terrorist organization now is a multi-headed beast with outcrops in many more countries than it had in 2001 and all Mr. Bush can now say about Osama Bin Ladin is:
“I don’t know where he is. You know, I just don’t spend that much time on him… I truly am not that concerned about him.” [President Bush, Press Conference, 3/13/02]
Bush’s supporters can rationalize things all they want and split hairs into a million pieces, but none of their cognitive dissonance will change facts on the ground, and every day that passes the truth becomes harder and harder to spin.
Today, once again, Mr. Kerry outlined his Iraq plan. You can read the speech here:
