Bush Opened Iraq Debate Wide Open

A few days ago, Dubya had his press conference. Some people said he looked bold. I, on the other hand, still think he looked like a total moron and complete idiot. Yeah, I always say Democrats shouldn't do name calling with Republicans, but Bush is the exception.

During his press conference, Bush flat out said, and I think it was for the first time, that there was no connection between Osama bin Laden and Iraq. Yep, no connection whatsoever. After years and years of telling us the opposite, Bush was put on the spot, and he couldn't handle it.

With this one word statement, Bush has completely opened the door on the Iraq debate. As soon as he made that statement, Chris Matthews asked Sen. Rick Santorum was there any connection between Al Qaeda and Iraq. He couldn't answer the question, he was stumped.

The only answer that Santorum could give was..."And as you know, theres these Iraqi document dump thats going on that we have 48,000 cases of boxes full of documents from the Iraq regime, the former regime, and a lot of the documents are indicating there certainly was relationships between Iraqi intelligence and military officials and terrorist groups like Al Qaeda."

So, did you notice the key word in that statement? I did. He said Saddam was working with terrorist groups LIKE Al Qaeda. If Iraq was working with Al Qaeda, Santorum would have just said it. But he said groups LIKE Al Qaeda, which indicates to me that there is no connection whatsoever. This is going to be the key word that Republicans will use as far as the connection, so keep an eye out for it!

So for all of those that said there was a connection, well, don't you just feel stupid now.

Still, what upsets me is the Democratic response. Yep, NOTHING! I have not seen any of our leaders at all talking about this. This was a HUGE fumble, and no response.

I guess the Democratic Party needs to have a better quick response team. Or hell, just a response team in general!

Whenever the Democrats mess up, the GOP pounces on it. We, on the other hand, just sit there with our fingers up our asses and do nothing. Sorry about the language, but I am just getting more and more angry at Democrats being whimps as I write this blog post! Maybe I should stop!

Still, Bush said there is no connection. Since our politicians and party leaders aren't going to take advantage of this mistake, I guess it is up to us again. Use Bush's quote, and use it well. Make sure you let your Republican friends know that Bush said, in front of the whole world, that there was no connection between Iraq and bin Laden.

Then ask "why did we go to war?"

There's the election!
