Democrats Hit Bush for Repeatedly Raising Sept. 11 in Speech Justifying Iraqi War

I will admit I've been rather puzzled by the Dems screaming for more troops. And it's only the Dems who keep floating the draft idea, oddly enough.

You could be right - it's part of a convoluted strategy that involves pushing Bush to send more troops, stirring up feeling in the US against this very thing by threatening a draft, etc., and then stepping back and making it look as if it were all Bush's fault. The Dems have an incredible ability to pull flim-flams of this nature. Too bad they devote their time to this instead of to thinking up positive, constructive things they could do to actually help their country.

Yeah, but she's not an "actress".

A subtle distinction, but perhaps you're right.

LOL...I know of what you speak. Have a good day.

Touche! We kill them there because they are pouring in by the hundreds to fight us "there". I as well as everyone on FreeRepublic love, admire and pray for our troops everyday and for our president. We know it is not easy to see great men and women dying but this is what will ensure the security of America in the future.

We cannot stick our heads in the sand and pretend "they" are not out there to hurt us because "they" are.

This morning on WIOD 610 in Miami, the spokesperson for the Florida Democratic Party was being interviewed and he just kept repeating the mantra of "The President needs to lay out a plan for winning the war and a date of withdrawal". He just kept repeating this stupid, stupid remarks. To the benefit of the interviewer he asked how can we lay out a plan in public or a withdrawal date so the terrorists can know it.

Also, two people called in both against the Demos. One was an African American female who said that she was so glad she was a black republican because the Demos are just so stupid. She kept repeating the word stupid.

I truly believe the Democrats are finally being seen for who they truly are. Thank God.

FYI y'all.

I emailed President Bush about 2 weeks ago and begged him to come out swinging against all the critics of the Iraq battle in the War on Terror, and to let the soldiers know he is still strong behind them, as are the American people, and to shore up the weak-kneed Americans among us. I told him so many of us who support him and our military were feeling like we weren't getting the back-up of his administration as we fight the battle within at home.

I am composing an email now thanking him for such a good speech, and for following my advice, and that this time I would wave my consulting fee, but the next time...

lololol

The Rules!

[Gritty]

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi accused Bush of demonstrating a willingness "exploit the sacred ground of 9/11, knowing that there is no connection between 9/11 and the war in Iraq."

I am really getting tired of this analogy which they keep trotting out and repeating as if there were some rationale in it.

If we used this same logic during WWII, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor would never have resulted in us carrying the war to all the Axis Powers and invading Europe.

But then, genuine historical parallels have never been the strong suit of Liberals. Whining, deception and undercutting our war effort is.

It must really suck to be a Democrat these days. Every time they do or say something it's like watching a second lieutenant on his first day at the .45 range.

Good one. I hope the WH enjoyed it as well!

Americans have many questions tonight. Americans are asking: Who attacked our country? The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations known as al Qaeda. They are the same murderers indicted for bombing American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, and responsible for bombing the USS Cole.

Al Qaeda is to terror what the Mafia is to crime. But its goal is not making money; its gaol is remaking the world-and imposing its radical beliefs on people everywhere.

The truth will always come out no matter what.

[lOKKI]

They've gotten to the point where Bush could have personally introduced Jesus during his speech and gotten him to sign autographs afterward, and the Democrats would have found something to criticize.

Separation of church and state, don'tchaknow?

LOL... you're right, of course.... silly me!

[TomasUSMC]

Some Democrats quickly accused him of reviving a questionable link to the war in Iraq

---

If Bush would just use the facts of the first WTC attack in which many of those involved were Iraqi and the one who actually mixed the chemicals fled to Iraqi. (Clinton tried to extradite him, go figure.)

Or the fact that Iraq was on the list of Terrorist sponsoring nations through most of the Clinton years.

Maybe if he did that if would get through the thick skulls of .... nah it probably wouldn't.

[petercooper]

Or OKC. Iraqi fingerprints are all over it. Read Jayna Davis' book- 'The Third Terrorist'
