Bush two-fer: Al-Qaida is alive, Iraq is a war zone
An actual headline-thingie, by God.

In other words, the war in Iraq was a response to 9/11. This is exactly what Bush's Democratic critics have been arguing: That despite no credible evidence of any connection between Al-Qaida and Iraq, the Bush administration launched a nearly unilateral, pre-emptive strike against Saddam Hussein in response to an act of war he did not commit and to which he was not even remotely linked....

Instead of concentrating on the war against terrorism -- which is hard to win -- he took out Saddam Hussein -- which was relatively easy. So Al-Qaida continues to wreak havoc and Iraq is a civil war zone.

And he calls himself a war president?
