War deserter: US must finish job in Iraq to "honor the fallen"

In a speech to the VFW, the AWOL Lying Chickenhawk again linked the Iraq war with September 11 -- a link critics say is an attempt to shift the justification for war.

The White House says the presence in Iraq of al Qaeda-linked insurgents shows the link with terrorism, although the misadministration concedes many of those militants have come into Iraq from other countries since the US invasion.

"We all know that 'noble cause for war' that Bush talks about has changed several times," said Celeste Zappala, part of Cindy Sheehan's group, Gold Star Families for Peace, and whose son was killed in Iraq in 2004 - while assisting with the hunt for weapons of mass destruction.
