POPSBush doesn't answer why his administration invokes 9/11 as reason for invading Iraq. The closest Bush comes to answering the question, "I mean, there was a serious international effort to say to Saddamn Hussein, you're a threat. And the 9/11 attacks that threat, as far as I concerned." It almost sounds as though he's saying we invoke 9/11 as reason for invading Iraq because we saw Saddam Hussein as a threat and we see terrorists as a threat, and that's enough of a connection to consider the two one in the same. Scary indeed.

POPSRumsfeld believes there should be more positive news about the war in Iraq. The line that really bothers me, "More media attention was given to U.S. soldiers' abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib than to the fact that Sgt. 1st Class Paul Ray Smith received the Medal of Honor." I have to ask, does Rumsfeld honestly believe that a Medal of Honor winner is more newsworthy than the United States torturing it's captives and breaking the rules set in place by the Geneva convention? And if so, does Rumsfeld have the perspective needed to address the problems we are now facing as the war heads in to its fourth year? Comments welcomed.
