WTF Is It Now?!?

Politicizing our national tragedy, II
Dems sorta protest as Bush uses 9/11 to argue for neverending war in Iraq.

"I am often asked why we are in Iraq when Saddam Hussein was not responsible for the 9/11 attacks. The answer is that the regime of Saddam Hussein was a clear threat," Bush lied Monday night.

"The president should be ashamed of using a national day of mourning to commandeer the airwaves to give a speech that was designed not to unite the country and commemorate the fallen but to seek support for a war in Iraq that he has admitted had nothing to do with 9/11," Sen. Edward Kennedy said in a statement. "There will be time to debate this president's policies in Iraq. September 11th is not that time."

"Partisanship would have been the one casualty the American people would have accepted following 9/11, but it remains the one thing the president refuses to give up," said Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel.
