Saddam's Iraq And 9/11

Oh, how they howl! Shame on President Bush for mentioning 9/11 in a speech about Iraq! How could he defile Holy Ground?!

Just for fun, shall we count the number of times FDR mentioned Pearl Harbor in speeches about World War II's fronts in Europe and Southeast Asia?

And while we're on the subject, Anchoress remembers something pertinent: After 9/11 countries all over the world lowered their flags to half staff except one. Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Not a cause for war, for sure, but an indication that if he wasn't connected with the massacre, he wished he had been.
