Oh dear fucking god. He's losing/lost credibility with the imaginary Iraq/Al Qaeda link, so Bush is now trying to link Iran to 9/11. At this point, it doesn't even matter whether Iran really was sponsoring it or not; Bush looks desperate. And while distracting the voting populace with wartime gloom & doom is a tried and true political maneuver, Bush & Co. have pumped that well dry. The constantly changing "bad guy of the week", the vaguer and vaguer "potential terrorism" alerts (this week we're on what? Level Bert?), the growing dissent within the ranks of hardcore Republicans! The tried and true method is supposed to be used as a feint, a distraction, not as a way of life. 'Cause like all con games, if you run it too long, people see through it.
