The Repeated Headline: Bush Invokes Sept 11 to Defend Iraq War

I wish I had a nickel for every time I have heard this news story in the last year.

I'm starting to think that our Dear Leader is a monomaniac. Before September 11, 2001, tax cuts were his mantra. Every problem, ever solution was tied to passing his proposed tax cuts. Jobs? Tax cuts. Tech boom? Tax cuts. California energy crisis? Tax cuts.

Now, when the country is more and more skeptical of our Iraq adventure, he talks about September 11th as the reason we need to stay the course. I can imagine the warm, wet whispers in his ears from his oil and war profiteer friends, telling him to speak frequently and seriously about 9/11.
