Good Point

"If there really is a functional al-Qaeda on the continent, it hasn't needed to attack us since 9/11" -Keith Olbermann

Olbermann makes a great point. Bin Laden killed 3,000 Americans in one day. It took Bush and Company a little over a year to kill half that many. If we kept our soldiers out of Iraq, and actually sought out and killed the terrorist that started this whole mess, the death toll would be far far less.

Bush and Rove and all the rest of the Republicans are proud of saying there hasn't been another terrorist attack in this country since 9/11. The truth is, why should the terrorists bother to attack here when they're doing such a good job killing Americans in Iraq? Was that Bush's great strategy? Make our soldiers into targets to distract terrorists from attacking the U.S.?

If so, it's working.

Rove said this: "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."

I would state it like this:

"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and used it as an excuse to go to war in Iraq; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to track down and kill Bin Laden and Al Queda."

I'll repeat it till the day his head is on a pike: Where is Bin Laden? Why haven't we gotten him, four years later? What does Iraq have to do with catching him?

Conservatives saw 9/11 and saw an opportunity to reduce our freedoms, attack our enemies, divide our country, and advance their agenda.

Liberals saw 9/11 and we saw our friends, relatives and neighbors murdered by a man named Bin Laden. We mourned, and vowed revenge.

But the Conservatives were in power, so guess who's vision won out?

Why would Rove make a comment like this? To divide the country further when we need to be united so badly?

If so, it's working.
