I am sitting here stunned. This is not an easy article to read, but it is a fantastic article and explains what for me has always been unexplainable. Why the president does not more clearly lay out the facts about the Iraq/AQ connections.

This should be copied off and plastered to the inside door of every bathroom stall at Foggy Bottom and the CIA.

A good question. This administration sometimes seems to take the 'never complain, never explain' adage a bit too far.

Bookmarked.

The reality is that the evidence for the Saddam-AQ connection is circumstantial. And some of the "hard" evidence, like a certain memo, has been dismissed as a fraud by the media who have a corrupt stake in not blowing their own cover of cooperation with the forces of evil.

For the casual citizen of this country, the evidence will have to be overwhelming and undeniable before the media will concede defeat in its project of ending the loss of power of their side (the Democrats allied with the forces of world wide socialism and communism).

President Bush does bring up these points, but he is drowned out by the drum beat of whatever talking points the NY Times, etc. have dreamed up for the day or week or month.

And he goes on the road and gives speeches all the time on his policies and actions and their justifications, and all you see on the tube is a small, soundless, slow motion bit of the president while a large polished dedicated socialist talks in front of and over him with the NY Times slant on the event.

We are facing dedicated, vastly experienced, and very smart traitors here in this country.

The battle here is every bit as serious and life-threatening for our country as the world wide battle against Islamofascists.

I believe he thinks he has.

Just another example of why pubbies are good at getting elected put poor at governing. They do not understand the propaganda/information side of the governing equation.

RATs do.

Why the president does not more clearly lay out the facts about the Iraq/AQ connections.

Because when he has, the anti's and even his own CIA and State Department rogues undercut and try to contradict him. Look at the whole Joe Wilson/Plame pseudoscandal.

If I had to opinine, I would say that every time the President tries to tell the American people, the media only relates it to 9/11. It's an argument he is unable to win because of the forces that are allied against him. Not only in the media, but in Congress as well.

Is Al-Queda and Iraq linked together. Absolutely. Just as Iraq and Hamas, Iran and Fatah, and PA and the Egyptian Brotherhood. It's all one big organization (which you are aware of) and not a bunch of independent actors.
