I don't read Powerline much, but I had to laugh when I saw this today:
The mainstream media continue their faux outrage over the link that President Bush drew between September 11 and the Iraq war in his speech Tuesday night; here is one of countless examples. This is, frankly, mystifying; as one of our readers pointed out yesterday, the connection between the Iraq war and September 11 was made explicit in the text of the Congressional resolution that authorized military action in Iraq.
Okay, so Iraq was responsible for September 11 because Congress said so in a Congressional resolution written after they had been presented with ridiculously trumped up intelligence from the White House? I'm supposed to regard the Saddam and 9/11 as fact because of that?
You know, Congress also came up with something called "No Child Left Behind" and the "Clear Skies Initiative". Are we supposed to believe that those laws have helped education and cleaned up the environment, too?
Yellowcake! Boo!
