Bunnypants bungles his press conference
Fred Kaplan (slightly paraphrased):

The topper, which he has parroted several times before, is that if we fail in Iraq, the terrorists will follow us home. He uttered a few variations of the line this morning: "If we were to fail, they'd come and get us. … If we let up, we'll be attacked. … It's better to fight them there than here."

Sweet chocolate Jesus. Clearly, this is nonsense.

First, the vast majority of the insurgents have nothing to do with al-Qaida or its ideology. They're combatants in a sectarian conflict for power in Iraq, and they have neither the means nor the desire to threaten North America.

Second, to the extent that the true global terrorists could attack us at home, they could do so whether or not U.S. troops stay or win in Iraq, dumbass.

Third, what the fuck? Does he think we're all as big a retard as he is?

It's also time to reassess what has been the misadministration's strongest argument for "staying the course" -- that if we fail in Iraq, "al-Qaida will be emboldened." Yerp -- then again, if we keep fighting to no avail in Iraq, al-Qaida might be emboldened as well. Jerkoff. Didn't think of that, did you? Dumbass.
