Doug Miller spouts:
"Your reality check bounced, Charlie. Bush *never* claimed that Saddam
Hussein
was linked to the 9/11 attacks."

He didn't, but he sure edged into. People in his adminstration did. We
attacked Iraq to protect the US from WMDs. That was, to be less polite
about it, a flat out ****ing lie that has cost us almost 1500 young
people's lives, many more thousands mained and crippled (not to mention
the cost to the Iraqis) and uncounted billions of dollars. Then that
little "bring 'em on" barroom turd reduces the benefits the surviving
veterans will be eligible for, because cuts have to be made somewhere
(aid to veterans, fuel assistance programs for the elderly poor...ah,
yes. A true neocon all the way through).
