There He Goes Again...

Believe it or not, President Bush continues to believe that the war in Iraq is protecting Americans from terrorists. During a speech in Minneapolis today, according to the Associated Press, Bush said, "Our short-term objective is to stay on the hunt and bring the killers to justice before they hurt us again. I'd rather be defeating them there than face them here at home." Okay.

Maybe the rumors are true. Perhaps he really doesn't read newspapers or get news from anyone but his closest advisors. Otherwise he would know by now that Iraq and the 9/11 attacks had absolutely nothing - NOTHING - to do with one another.

Can a U.S. president be any more out of touch with reality than this guy? Doubtful.
