http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Bush_Insurgents_in_Iraq_same_as_0712.html

How long can he get away with illogical, nonsensical rantings before his mental fitness is questioned by someone in the MSM?

President Bush, defending his troop surge in Iraq, insisted Thursday that the insurgents attacking US troops in Iraq "are the same ones who attacked us on Sept. 11."

Bush was speaking at a White House press conference on the same day an interim progress report on his troop surge in Iraq was released. Asked for proof of the connection between insurgents in Iraq and the 9/11 hijackers, Bush said both had pledged their allegiance to Osama bin Laden.

"The same folks that are bombing innocent people in Iraq are the ones who attacked us on Sept. 11," Bush said.

1. In that case, we've done a poor job of catching them, haven't we?

All this expense and trouble, two wars, and the same guys who did 9/11 are still running around free?

[shain from kane]

2. Saudi Arabians?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

3. yup, NPR ray ray ray-deo had that portion.

almost coughed up a lung laughing so hard, yet crying because so many would take him at farce value.

[snappyturtle]

4. YES he said it! When he said it I expected the entire

press corps to stand up and scream......"NO!" but they didn't. eom

5. Someone, other than Cheney,

needs to monitor Churchill Jr's intake of military-grade
"go/no-go" pills.

6. This guy is delusional...

50 years from now when someone asks about the GW Bush Administration, the answer will be "delusional."

George W. Bush's foreign policy? "Delusional"
George W. Bush's domestic policy? "Delusional"
George W. Bush's _________ policy? "Delusional"

"Bush" will become synonymous with "delusional"

[mrcheerful]

7. Did someone forget to inform Dumbo that the ones who attacked the US on 9/11

were all killed when the planes hit the ground? Only a wing nut freeper would even bother with this.

[karlrschneider]

8. He actually did mention that but made it sound like the AQ in Iraq are their cousins.

:eyes:

[Rick Myers]

10. Saudi Fuckin' Arabia attacked us on 9/11

If you go by the nationality of the 'evil-doers!'

9. I wish one single journalist would have had the cojones to ask

the pretzeldent that if they were the same, why is the pretzeldent emboldening them
by letting OBL run free.
:dunce:

[uppityperson]

12. Here is his circular reasoning....

Q But, sir, on that point, what evidence can you present to the American people that the people who attacked the United States on September the 11th are, in fact, the same people who are responsible for the bombings taking place in Iraq? What evidence can you present? And also, are you saying, sir, that al Qaeda in Iraq is the same organization being run by Osama bin Laden, himself?

THE PRESIDENT: Al Qaeda in Iraq has sworn allegiance to Osama bin Laden. And the guys who had perpetuated the attacks on America -- obviously, the guys on the airplane are dead, and the commanders, many of those are either dead or in captivity, like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. But the people in Iraq, al Qaeda in Iraq, has sworn allegiance to Osama bin Laden. And we need to take al Qaeda in Iraq seriously, just like we need to take al Qaeda anywhere in the world seriously.

[zabet]

14. Geeeeeee....

Ya think if they swore allegiance to OBL that ould be even more reason to take OBL out
of the picture.

Forgive me - that thought would require sanity, which chimpo lost his grip on before he ever
got it.

mr.bush:
The same folks that are bombing innocent people in Iraq were the ones who attacked us in America on September the 11th, and that's why what happens in Iraq matters to the security here at home.

So I've been realistic about the consequences of failure. I have been realistic about what needs to happen on the ground in order for there to be success. And it's been hard work, and the American people see this hard work. And one of the reasons it is hard work is because on our TV screens are these violent killings, perpetuated by people who have done us harm in the past. And that ought to be a lesson for the American people, to understand that what happens in Iraq and overseas matters to the security of the United States of America.

Yes, ma'am.

Q But, sir, on that point, what evidence can you present to the American people that the people who attacked the United States on September the 11th are, in fact, the same people who are responsible for the bombings taking place in Iraq? What evidence can you present? And also, are you saying, sir, that al Qaeda in Iraq is the same organization being run by Osama bin Laden, himself?

mr.bush: Al Qaeda in Iraq has sworn allegiance to Osama bin Laden. And the guys who had perpetuated the attacks on America -- obviously, the guys on the airplane are dead, and the commanders, many of those are either dead or in captivity, like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. But the people in Iraq, al Qaeda in Iraq, has sworn allegiance to Osama bin Laden. And we need to take al Qaeda in Iraq seriously, just like we need to take al Qaeda anywhere in the world seriously.

Let's see here. Working my way around here. Sheryl.

13. I suspect that around 20% of Amerikans believe this total BS.

Busholini's approval rating is around that % so we have a big problem don't we?
