What has happened to your brother and sister is what has happened to many people. Bush and Co. throw enough key catch phrases up on the wall and eventually some will stick.<BR/><BR/>I'll be checking Olberman's comments and opinions. Thanks for the tip.Papamokahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14611162290397820224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10249940.post-41475315828764705132008-01-29T02:32:00.000-06:002008-01-29T02:32:00.000-06:00It’s 3 a.m. Tuesday, and I listened to Bush again ...It’s 3 a.m. Tuesday, and I listened to Bush again as I was reading this post. You pretty much pegged it. I have had a real problem with my older brother and sister (ages 82 and 77), trying to explain to them that the Iraq war has nothing to do with 9/11. They say they cannot vote for Hillary or Barack, because “they want to bring our troops home,” and “we need to fight them over there so they can’t attack us over here.” Wonder who they heard that one from? The problem is: Bush keeps telling them there is a connection. He did that a number of times in the SOTU tonight. Once by including Iraq is a listing of nations where terrorist abide and once directly stating we will not leave Iraq until al Qaeda is defeated. MSNBC’s Keith Olibermann did a great fact-check of the address as soon as it ended, particulary the part about L.A.’s Liberty (Library!) Tower and the plan to blow up the 10 jets headed for America. All in all, it was McCain’s stump speech. God forbid if another warmonger/fearmonger gets in the White House.B.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12004309077511856506noreply@blogger.com
