Hey DNC, time to start calling Bushit on his lies

...starting with this one: 'We're fighting the terrorists over there so we don't have to fight them over here.'

So I take it that terrorists can't multi-task? It took 20 hijackers to bring down the two towers, the pentagon and (almost) the capitol. Do you really think they can't spare a dozen men from Iraq to attack us here or in Britain? All we're doing in Iraq is increasing the risk for us being attacked.

No, the above line sounds more like empty rhetoric than a legit reason. There was no terrorism in Iraq before we went. So our role over there is as terrorist flypaper? Please. It's after-the-fact justification for us being in Iraq, and you should call them all on it. And yesterday's attacks in London show that this strategy is not even working.

I have also heard that we are in Iraq because of Saddam's human rights abuses. Well, there are atleast a half dozen African nations where genocide is occuring right now, death and torture and rape on a much greater scale than ever happenned in Iraq. Don't you think we should have gone there first, given that bleeding heart conservatives care so much about human rights abuses all of a sudden? Wait, I forgot. This is another one of those after-the-fact justifications for the Iraq war.

So maybe prominet Democrats need to start calling Bush on his Bushit. See, its easy! Just point out how much less safe we are now.

And see this thread for some nice evidence on that: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=4036053

DEAN: Chris, I think the Downing Street Memos and other pieces of evidence, including the 9/11 Commission, have indicated that the administration was not truthful to the American people about how we got to Iraq. I think that's a fact. The administration would like it not
to be a fact but it is a fact. It has been confirmed by many mainstream organizations, including a commission lead by a Republican and a Democrat. A well respected Republican and Democrat.

I would have prefered that he and other star DEMs talked about it during the hearings, but better late than never.

I was so used to him ignoring the issue when on TV- I stand corrected and I'm glad he finally started talking about it on TV.

I hope this was not a one time shot and that he continues to hammer it home. I like & agree with what he had to say too.

Don't let the Bushies use the London attacks to justify the war in Iraq. If anything, the attacks show just these people have dropped the ball when it comes to the war on terror.

I'm glad Dean has said something before, but this London thing has americans spooked. Of course, the Brits are putting us to shame with their stoic, humble resolve. It's time for cooler heads to prevail here as well
