No Shame

As expected, Bush used 9/11 to justify the war in Iraq in his address to the nation on the 5th anniversary of the attacks.

"The president should be ashamed of using a national day of mourning to commandeer the airwaves to give a speech that was designed not to unite the country and commemorate the fallen but to seek support for a war in Iraq that he has admitted had nothing to do with 9/11," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (news, bio, voting record), D-Mass., said in a statement. "There will be time to debate this president's policies in Iraq. September 11th is not that time."

Cheney: Would Do It All Again

Meet The Press with Tim Russert had Vice President Cheney as their guest this past weekend. Even with reality staring America in the face, Cheney still refuses to admit that the Iraq war was a mistake.

The Bush Administration continues to "stay the course" and has turned up the volume on the "war against terror" rhetoric as the 5th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001 and midterm elections approach. Forever denying but forever insinuating that 9/11 and the Iraq war are intertwined, this White House continues to push America on it's preset course towards disaster.
