Washington Post: Bush frequently invokes 9/11 in speeches
and he says he doesn't want to politicize it. The Post reports that in speeches Bush frequently mentions 9/11. Could it be he really doesn't have anything to run on? Can anyone think of anything that is better under his administration?

it is also the reason he is holding his convention next year in NYC and close to the anniversary of 9/11.

2. Don't you remember Poppy saying
"Gulf War this" and "Gulf War that" right up until he got his ass handed to him by the Big Dog?

7. Yep
I can't remember if it was GHW or Dana Carvey, but it seemed like every point in every speech no matter what it was about ended with, "...our victory in Operation Desert Storm!"

3. "Why do Americans believe 9/11 is connected to Iraq?"....often someone
in this forum asks that question....WHY WOULDN'T THEY? Everytime they see Bush he draws a connection and says it as if it's a given fact....That's how the slimy manipulator has kept himself high in the polls....until lately....We'll see how this all turns out for him....I've a feeling it won't be great.

5. Like yesterday's inane speech...and today's 45 second babbling.
I would like to see some of the Democratic candidates continuously reminding us every time they open their mouths that Iraq and 9/11 are separate incidents. One, terrorism against our country, while the other is us terrorizing innocent children in another country.

4. I'd love to see Rather, Jennings and Brokow
start out tonights broadcast with the same statement:

ON THIS ANNIVERSARY WE'D LIKE TO REMIND OUR AUDIENCES THAT NEITHER SADDAM HUSSEIN NOR THE IRAQI PEOPLE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE HORRORS OF 9/11/01 AND ANY ATTEMPT TO LINK THE TWO BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION IS A LIE TO LEGITMIZE THEIR ILLEGAL INVASTION AND OCCUPATION OF IRAQ.

Thank you and now tonight's news.........

8. He has nothing
other than 9/11 fearmongering to run on. Everything he touches turns to shit.
